The story

Festival International de la Mode FIMO 228 in Lome

FIMO 228, the Festival International de la Mode, is a Togolese fashion festival founded in Lome in 2013 by stylist and former model Jacques Logoh. Named after Togo's international calling code, it promotes African designers and garment trades and has drawn coverage from France 24, RFI, and TV5 Monde over its multiple editions.

Jacques Logoh's route into Togolese fashion began early: born in Lome, he started as a teenage model at fifteen before training formally in styling.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

FIMO 228 traces directly back to one person's career path: Jacques Logoh started modeling at fifteen, trained in styling, and in 2011 launched Togo's Challenge Modeling Agency before creating the festival two years later specifically to showcase African fashion talent and the trades behind it, from tailoring to textile design

02

The mystery stays covered

The festival has grown into a genuine platform rather than a one-off show, gaining recurring international press coverage and giving Togolese and African designers a stage with real visibility

03

The city starts moving

Its ninth edition featured designer Kav Elite presenting a collection called Gneto lim, meaning greenery in the Kabye language, built around environmental protection themes, illustrating how individual designers have used the festival to fold social messaging into runway presentations
