AFI Joburg Fashion Week 2018 will showcase the best of African fashion with a sprinkle of Asian flavour. Slated to show alongside fashion design stars from across our continent, including Nigeria’s Deola Sagoe and Clan, are ranges from renowned South African designers such as David Tlale, Laduma and Gavin Rajah who will create a glorious fashion melting-pot with Asian designers from Japan, Cambodia and China.

To enhance designers’ exposure on international fashion platforms and industries, AFI has forged a partnership with Tokyo Fashion Week. Through this, a designer showing at AFI Joburg Fashion Week 2018 will receive an opportunity and potentially career-changing prize. One selected designer will be assisted to show at the next Tokyo Fashion Week in Japan.

“We believe this is the best way to give our local talent opportunities to spread their wings, and showcase internationally the incredible skills and exciting creativity that drives African fashion,” says Dr Moloi-Motsepe.
