Ronke Ademiluyi CEO, Africa Fashion Week London (AFWL) is the biggest African event of its kind in Africa. A collaborative fashion exhibition, highlighting the industry’s established and emerged African designers, AFWL is at the forefront of capturing the surge of the African inspired trends in the fashion industry.
Our annual event aims to celebrate the work of African and African inspired designers in the UK and worldwide.
The première of the annual Africa Fashion Week London was held on the 5th and 6th of August 2011, at the Gibson Hall in the city of London and attracted an audience of 4700 visitors. The two-day event also featured catwalks from 54 designers. This was followed by its edition in August 2012 at London Spitalfields which attracted over 20,000 visitors over two days and garnered international media coverage.
After two successful years, the third edition of AFWL will be taking place at the Old Truman Brewery.
AFWL also celebrates London’s unique and diverse cultural heritage, topped with the flamboyant mixing of Western and African culture through fashion at the same time promoting Africa’s rich ethnic culture and interpreting it into comtemporary designs...so calling all Fashionistas from all walks of life across the globe - London is calling - yes Africa Fashion Week London will be on another level this year...
