AFWL

In partnership with The Walk Method, AFWL2026 announces its official open casting call for catwalk talent.

The Africa Fashion Week London catwalk has always been about more than clothes. It is where stories are told, cultures are celebrated, and designers transform ideas into moments that stay with you long after the lights go down.

AFWL once again partners with the British Council’s Creative DNA Programme as part of Africa Fashion Week London 2026 with a collaboration that continues to play a vital role in shaping the future of African fashion.

The Africa Fashion Week London 2026 is where heritage becomes headline, and designers step into their moment.

Summer shopping starts at Africa Fashion Week London 2026.

In the lead-up to the AFWL2026 live shows, the British Council offices in Stratford will become a dynamic hub of creativity and exchange.

African fabrics are more than a textile. They are history, identity, craftsmanship and economic opportunity.

African fashion is no longer on the sidelines; it’s reshaping London’s runways and redefining global fashion narratives.

Africa Fashion Week London is officially returning to the iconic 2024 venue, Kensington Town Hall this August, louder, stronger, and more fashion-forward than ever.

This summer, AFWL returns to London for its 16th edition, and the countdown has just began.
