AFRICA FASHION WEEK LONDON 2017 EXHIBITORS SOLD OUT! || PHOTOS

Over 5,000 visitors came to Freemasons' Hall for AFWL2017 looking for that perfect piece to accentuate their street style game!

5,000 visitors browsed through goods that came from all over Africa.  Ethiopian hand-stitched sneakers from an organisation called Proudly Made in Africa sat next to solid silver and copper bangles from Kenya.

Bomber jackets from AFWL favourite, Continent Clothing were snapped up with fervour.

Zambian upcycle brand Slow-Case also inspired us to take everyday clothing items and turn them into  wearable works of art.

Ankara trilbies, ankara sneakers, ankara bracelets, ankara shoes!  So much ankara, but our shoppers loved it!

Strong styling was not only on the catwalk - our visitors also enjoyed dressing up for the day.  Some of them were clearly reading each other's minds!
