Fashions Finest Africa is back this year – bigger, better and filled with so much Fun!

Its Epic Show, which was conceptualized to give voices to fashion talent from across Africa, debuted in 2017. It has since produced 2 fantastic shows, Renaissance (2017) and Epic Show (2018), which included the conference, runway show, exhibition, awards, and the rave party.

Annually, the show brings together industry leaders, stakeholders, artisans, industry creatives and fashion designers from all over Africa, US and Europe to recognize, partake and utilize this medium to present their passion, art, and talents.

This year, Fashions Finest Africa will be a 3-day event featuring a conference, fashion shows, awards, exhibition, and ending with the ‘Fashion Rave’ party.
