Since its inception in 2019, Fashion Fete has served as a collective movement, incorporating two distinct sub-movements – the Dandy Gentlemen movement for men and the Vogue Ladies movement for women. These sub-movements share a common aim; to unite and empower individuals through fashion, with the goal of nurturing the “Total Man through Fashion” and the “Total Woman through Fashion.”

Through this unified platform, Fashion Fete seeks to harness the transformative power of fashion to address the challenges impacting the contemporary generation, emphasizing the overarching mission of “Building the Total Person Through Fashion.”

The forthcoming Fashion Fete event will pivot towards the global goals set by the United Nations in the form of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 2030. Here, the focus will not only dwell on advocating sustainable fashion but also spotlighting the critical targets of the SDGs.

Set to take place on the 10th of February, the event will feature a remarkable array of activities, including captivating fashion runways, live music, spoken word performances, opportunities for networking, engaging exhibitions, and enriching personal development programs.
