Accra Fashion Week is proud to officially announce its return for the 2025 edition, scheduled to take place from December 16th to 21st at the Trust Sports Emporium in Ghana’s vibrant capital. This six-day celebration of creativity, culture, and innovation will once again position Accra at the epicenter of African fashion. Each year, Accra Fashion Week gathers Africa’s finest designers, models, buyers, media professionals, and style enthusiasts from across the globe. The upcoming December edition promises to be one of the most dynamic showcases to date, as it continues its mission to spotlight the richness of African fashion, inspire economic growth, and foster cross-cultural collaboration.
From Local Initiative to Global Powerhouse
Since its inception, Accra Fashion Week has grown into one of the continent’s most influential platforms for fashion. It has played a key role in elevating African design to global prominence—promoting homegrown talent while facilitating critical connections between designers and international markets.
The event’s participation in the 2024 BRICS Fashion Summit in Moscow marked a significant milestone. By standing alongside representatives from Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, Accra Fashion Week helped affirm the role of African creativity in shaping a multipolar global fashion industry—one that embraces diversity, rejects outdated norms, and recognizes Africa not merely as a contributor, but as a leader in fashion innovation.
A Platform for Pan-African Design Excellence
The 2025 edition will showcase a carefully curated roster of designers from across the continent, including talent from Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, Kenya, Côte d’Ivoire, and beyond. Attendees can expect bold heritage prints, avant-garde aesthetics, and fashion rooted in both tradition and contemporary relevance.
Ghana’s own design luminaries such as Chocolate Clothing, Bushai Weave, and Bri Wireduah are expected to headline once more, demonstrating why Ghana continues to play a leading role in shaping Africa’s fashion future. These designers consistently produce work that transcends trends—crafting garments that reflect identity, history, and innovation.
Beyond the Runway: A Cultural and Economic Catalyst
Accra Fashion Week has always extended far beyond the catwalk. It serves as a critical cultural hub and economic catalyst—empowering emerging designers, supporting local artisans, and encouraging meaningful conversations across industries.
The December event will include:
- StreetStyleFest, where everyday fashion becomes the runway
- FashionGHANA Honors & Industry Awards, celebrating excellence across the sector
- Pop-up markets and exhibitions, offering attendees the opportunity to shop directly from designers
- International press engagements and networking opportunities
- And a selection of surprise activations to be announced in due course
Reclaiming the Narrative
At a time when traditional fashion capitals are re-evaluating their relevance, Accra Fashion Week continues to advance a fresh, future-facing vision for fashion. By centering Africa’s voice, it challenges the dominant narratives and proves that the continent is not simply participating in global fashion—it is shaping its direction.
From its creative vibrancy to its cultural significance, Accra Fashion Week December 2025 will be a defining event in the global fashion calendar. Stakeholders across fashion, media, investment, and the creative arts are invited to take part in this landmark occasion.
