Founded in
2011 by Princess Ronke Ademiluyi, Africa Fashion Week London (AFWL) is now
Europe’s largest annual fashion event promoting and nurturing African and
African-inspired design talent.
Using a
collaborative catwalk, exhibition and
business development programme, AFWL is a
social enterprise that has led the way in transforming the perception of
Africa’s emerging design talent and apparel industry in the international
scene.
With a core
team of experienced fashion industry experts and business professionals, AFWL
is committed to creating a platform to support African designers while building
a sustainable business that is globally recognised and promotes social,
environmental and economic change in Africa.
For the past
9 years AFWL has consistently employed over 50 BAME catwalk models every
year. We further employ over 100 young
people every year who work with us as volunteers for backstage runners,
dressers, hair & makeup teams, front of house, and administration - giving
them vital skills in event management and catwalk and exhibition production.
We have now
showcased over 900 designers and exhibitors from Africa and the global diaspora
to over 70,000 visitors. We have represented designers from 27 African
countries and a further 20 African-inspired designers from countries outside
the Continent, including France,
Holland, USA, Brazil, China, the Caribbean, and, of course, the United Kingdom.
