SHOWCASE SCHEDULE
African Fashion Week unfolds over two days that balance creative presentation with industry engagement. The programme brings together runway showcases, designer launches, and business-focused discussions, offering a clear view of both the artistic and commercial sides of fashion. Designers present new collections to a mixed audience of media, buyers, and industry stakeholders, while forums and panels provide insight into retail, policy, and the evolving creative economy.
