Africa Fashion Week London 2017,

About the event

Africa Fashion Week London, as Europe's largest African-inspired  fashion and catwalk event, has produced 6 annual shows; showcased 800 burgeoning and established designers from 25 countries, attracts over 90,000 audience members and over 1000 foreign and domestic press. 

Since 2011  AFWL has hosted designers that are inspired by the African continent, textiles and artisan workmanship, and use the AFWL platform as a stepping stone into global exposure, recognition  and  sustainability.

2017 also sees the introduction of our initiative AFWL54 which will sponsor a winning young designer from one of the 54 countries of Africa to showcase on the AFWL 2017 catwalk.

Quality production, prestigious venues, informative networking seminars and scheduled power-talks have all given Africa Fashion Week London a reputable positive track record of inspiration, excellence and youth empowerment and increasingly participating in the encouragement of social  upward mobility.

After the resounding successes of six fashion events in London, it gives me great pleasure to invite you to partner with us for Africa Fashion Week London 2017 (AFWL2017) which will again be held at a central London venue on the 1^st weekend in August 2017. AFWL 2017 offers you a powerful platform to present your brand to an increasingly potential BME audience. AFWL supports sustainability and collaborative opportunities for mentoring young designers, with the aim to empower and enable them to build their businesses.

In January 2017, AFWL will launch its new initiative in searching for undiscovered fashion designers within each of the 54 countries of the African Continent. We aim to provide the support necessary to succeed in the global fashion industry and market, by empowering the discovered designers with educational opportunities in partnership with established players in the fashion industry.

The marketing reach of Africa Fashion Week London has now encompassed a worldwide audience outside of the African and European community.  Live broadcast of AFWL2016 was beamed around the world by BBC World Service, CNN, Xinhua Chinese News Agency and BET (Viacom). Audiences in Asia, the Americas and Australasia now have sight of the Africa Fashion Week London's brand.

We would welcome you as a sponsor of AFWL and also a sponsor of the many talented young designers of African inspiration.
