Welcome to Hub of Africa Fashion Week (HAFW)
While acknowledging our strides, it's crucial to recognize that Africa still
represents a modest fraction of the global fashion industry. At HAFW, we take
pride in our role as a vital platform for established and emerging designers
and brands. Our mission goes beyond borders – we aim to showcase the best
of Africa not only to the continental audience and the broader global market.
From its inception, HAFW has been dedicated to fostering the holistic growth of
the African fashion industry. We are more than just a runway; we are a catalyst
for positive change. Our focus extends beyond designers to encompass the
development of modeling, hair, cosmetics, and the entire value chain within
the industry. We believe in the potential of "Made in Africa" and consider it a
collective motto that we must nurture and build together.
We would like to express our deepest gratitude to Waridi Schrobsdorf for her
unwavering support, tireless efforts, and invaluable contributions to the
success of HAFW. Her passion for nurturing talent and her commitment to the
development of the fashion industry align seamlessly with the core values of
our event.
As we come together for HAFW, let us celebrate the diversity, creativity, and
richness of African fashion. Through this event, we hope to encourage, support,
and connect industry professionals while contributing to the global recognition
and success of African fashion.
