With offices in Italy, Cameroon, Ghana, and Rwanda, the Afro Fashion Association believes in the transformative potential of fashion, design, art, and culture as a means to build and sustain intercultural exchange, empowerment, and sustainable economic development.
Afro Fashion Association mission is to support continental collaborations and offer consultancy services, including collaboration with fashion brands and institutions such as the National Chamber of Italian Fashion.
Additionally, it provides a platform for international investments directed towards African fashion, beauty, and arts, with the goal of promoting diversity and inclusion in the fashion, design, and art sectors through world-class events, talent cultivation, and education.
In February 2023, the association launched the Black Carpet Awards, a prestigious event that celebrates excellence, diversity, and inclusion in the creative industry, which will be held on September 20, 2024, during Milan Fashion Week.
The event, designed to celebrate and honor pioneers who promote diversity and inclusion in the fields of fashion, design, art, culinary arts, music, technology, business, sports, and cinema, will host nearly 600 guests and will be an opportunity to raise awareness on the themes of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
