Discover, shop and be inspired at Africa Fashion Week London 2026.

Founded in 2011 by Olori Ronke Ademiluyi-Ogunwusi, Africa Fashion Week London was created to increase the visibility and commercial sustainability of African and Black fashion brands through catwalk showcases, exhibitions, education, networking and international exposure.

Africa Fashion Week London marks the 16th anniversary with a new retail concept, an extended programme at the British Council Headquarters and a first-time showcase at the iconic 8 Northumberland Avenue.

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.
