The 16th annual Afrik Fashion Week took place this week in Côte d’Ivoire’s commercial capital, Abidjan, and marked itself as the official fashion week for the nation of Cote d’Ivoire.

The major fashion event formerly known as Afrik Fashion Show hosted 30 designers from several African countries, around the theme “Youth, Fashion and Cultural Diversity”.

The annual event is organized by Isabelle Anoh, the event organiser. According to her “We think that Africa and even Côte d’Ivoire deserve to host a fashion week and for this edition, we tried to put our best foot forward by inviting African designers to share the stage with local designers,”

Fashion designer, Nancy, explained to Africanews.com “Through the fashion shows we see what others create and through that we get inspiration. And for us also to exchange with other stylists and other designers and of course to make ourselves known,”

The event was widely seen as a wonderful opportunity to network with others in the industry from across the continent.

“It’s an opportunity for me to meet several designers, to get to know different models and creators. And also, participating in this event has been a great joy for me and it allows me to value my work,” said make-up artist, Julianna Gnépa.

Afrik Fashion Week was a stunning showcase for a celebration of the diversity of styles and materials of African fashion.
