The largest
annual African fashion event in Europe, Africa Fashion Week London, is back for
Season 9!
Again at the
prestigious Freemasons’ Hall for two full days of catwalk shows and exhibition
shopping floors in the beautiful Grand Temple venue space, AFWL hosts over 100
designers who fly in from different parts of the globe every August to showcase
the best of African fashion in London.
For the lovers of high end fashion, the
introduction of the Luxury Boutique
will showcase luxury clothing and accessories from the culturally diverse
Continent to the European market. Don't
miss the chance to also browse for our African
Market Souk for exclusive afro-centric designs; or sample cuisines in our African
Food Village. With a number
of brands travelling in from overseas to debut collections, those in attendance
are guaranteed to purchase a number of red-carpet worthy items or unique
one-off pieces that will adorn any summer wardrobe.
AFWL is fully committed to bringing African
fashion to the forefront of the industry. The vibrant and colourful exhibitions
are carefully curated to include sustainable and eco fashions. With this in mind, reserve a seat to watch
catwalk showcases featuring collections from the Kwa-Zulu Natal Trade &
Industry (TIKZN) Designers who are returning to AFWL for an exclusive catwalk
show and luxury exhibition. TIKZN are
unique in the fact that they only produce apparel designs with fabrics
and embellishments produced in the Natal region of South Africa. For the first time, Seychelles Trade &
Industry sponsored designers also join AFWL catwalk.
The AFWL Business
Fashion Forum, powered by our Commercial
Partner EPG Media, is a new
development for 2019. Talk and panel
sessions from leading manufacturers, retailers and government officials from
all areas relating to fashion. This element offers guidance, advice and
valuable industry insight to aspiring designers and creatives. Special guest speakers will include The Mayor
of London’s Office, Department of Trade UK and the V&A Museum.
Prizes for
the best African-inspired outfit will be given so expect to be snapped and
papped by the international media.
Whatever you decide to do, Africa Fashion Week London 2019 will be the
highlight of the London summer events calendar. African-inspired designs are
dominating the international fashion scene like never before and now is the time
to appreciate the design and vibrancy of Africa.
