Gianna – Designer & Exhibitor

Gianna, meaning God is gracious, is a Nigerian luxury fashion design retail brand founded in 2023 by Winifred Areghan, inspired by original ideas for women’s design.

The brand was built on the founder’s passion for fashion, to focus on the use of staple pieces and sustainable resources to highlight feminine beauty and figures.

The brand creates design which tends to think outside the box, either by art, mood boards, or craft. Gianna is meant to be complex and incomparable to its competitors by standing out either by the designs or the colour and context. The pieces start off being imperfect till they are perfect, as that is the beauty of being graceful.

Àtnúdá – Designer

Inspired by the Nigerian Yoruba word Àtnúdá, meaning to create again or to reshape/reinvent, the brand embodies renewal, innovation, and artistic expression.

The designs are more than aesthetics; they are narratives woven into meaning. They draw inspiration from the rich history of African heritage, transforming narratives into designs that speak to the present. Through our pieces, they don’t just preserve history; they reimagine it as wearable art.

Àtnúdá is not just a brand, it’s a movement of artistry, history, and innovation. It celebrates Africa’s past, embraces its present, and designs for a future where culture continues to be told through the art of fashion through creative storytelling.

AfroWema – Designer & Exhibitor

AfroWema is a high-end sustainable fashion brand that reimagines African heritage through bold, artistic, and eco-conscious design. Founded in 2023 by Tatiana Teixeira, AfroWema works hand-in-hand with artisans from Kibera, Kenya and across the continent to create powerful fashion narratives rooted in culture, empowerment, and craftsmanship.

Each AfroWema piece is a story — woven with upcycled denim, vibrant West African Kitenge, North African linen, and the spirit of community. The brand has quickly become a standout voice in Africa’s conscious fashion movement, showcasing at prestigious events including Tribal Chic, The Core Fashion Installation, and Global Fashion Festival India. AfroWema is more than a fashion label — it’s a movement. One that uplifts young creatives, promotes circular design, and celebrates African excellence on the global runway.
