The highly anticipated event will showcase the latest work of some of the continent's best fashion designers, many of whom have been part of AFI for many years.?

It will be a two-night showcase featuring the latest collections of leading Pan-African designers. It is an opportunity to see the latest trends and designs from across the continent, and to support the African fashion industry.

AFI Fashion Week Joburg will open on Thursday, with an invite-only opening party sponsored by leading gin brand, Royal Flush.

The annual AFI Masterclass will be happening at The Catalyst Hotel in Sandton on Saturday morning and will feature some of the most trusted voices and creatives in the fashion industry.

With the theme being “Trends 2023: Fashion, Tech, Life, Business”, this year’s AFI Masterclass seeks to explore key trends that will shape fashion and other creative industries to ensure African creatives respond effectively.

The soon to be announced panellists are a mix of the most seasoned people in fashion, tech, luxury, and business.

15 Years of AFI

This season, AFI Fashion Week Joburg will also be a celebration of 15 years of the formation of African Fashion International.

This will be the first AFI Fashion Week hosted within South African borders this year, after AFI showcased in Abu Dhabi and Kasane, Botswana, earlier this year.

From its inception in 2007, AFI has gone on to become one of the leading fashion companies in the continent and has played a major role in shining a spotlight on the work created by African designers.

AFI has a clear vision to create a platform where the best, most globally relevant, and contemporary African designers will be discovered. AFI has since groomed and propelled local designers into global household names. Thanks to the success of AFI Fastrack, AFI has been able to launch the careers of leading African luxury brands, including Thebe Magugu and Rich Mnisi.

The impact of AFI in the global fashion industry has recently been acknowledged, with the addition of AFI Founder and Executive Chair, Dr Precious Moloi-Motsepe being inducted in The BoF 500 2022 Index.

The full schedule of activities taking place can be found on the official AFI website here.
