It aims at recognizing the immense talent rising from all corners of Africa, to provide new opportunities for the global fashion industry, leading and upcoming fashion designers.

With the idea of the ‘global community’ in mind, the 2015 edition of the fashion festival is tagged: “The World edition”. Fashion designers from across the world will meet to celebrate fashion, and buying companies will also be present.
