Since its inception, Fashion Without Borders Africa has been dedicated to shedding light on the richness and diversity of African fashion while providing invaluable opportunities for emerging talent from disadvantaged backgrounds to shine on a global platform.

As part of the anniversary celebrations, Fashion Without Borders Africa is thrilled to announce the inclusion of renowned industry experts as speakers in its Masterclass series. This series aims to impart valuable insights and knowledge to aspiring fashion professionals, furthering the initiative’s mission of fostering innovation and excellence within the industry.

The theme for this year’s festivities, “A Decade of Diversity: Celebrating African Fashion Excellence,” perfectly encapsulates the essence of Fashion Without Borders Africa. It not only reflects on the initiative’s remarkable achievements over the past ten years but also underscores its commitment to promoting inclusivity and amplifying the voices of designers and models from disadvantaged backgrounds.

It also reflects the vibrant and multifaceted nature of African fashion, showcasing the richness of cultural heritage and creativity across the continent.”
