The story

Mzuzu Fashion Week in Mzuzu

Available sources point to the Mzuzu Summer Fashion Show, an annual runway event held at Springs Park in Mzuzu each October, as the closest documented match for an entry titled 'Mzuzu Fashion Week'; its second edition took place in October 2023. Whether the two names describe the same event or two separate ones could not be confirmed.

In Malawi's Northern Region, where the city of Mzuzu serves as the region's commercial and administrative centre, an annual runway event has been building a following since its inaugural 2022 edition, which organisers say drew fashion designers and models from across the eastern and southern African region.
