The story

Afrik Fashion Show in Abidjan

Afrik Fashion Show is a long-running Ivorian fashion event that showcases African designers, textiles and craftsmanship on a shared Abidjan runway. From its 16th edition the event expanded into the multi-day Afrik Fashion Week format, adding workshops and panels on design and entrepreneurship alongside the shows. The 17th edition ran in November 2024, continuing the event's focus on Made in Ivory Coast fashion.

Afrik Fashion Show is a long-running Ivorian fashion event that put African and Ivorian designers on a shared runway in Abidjan years before African fashion weeks became a common fixture on the continent's cultural calendar.
