In Week 3, we are going to question the gatekeepers of luxury fashion and challenge Eurocentric views of fashion in non-western cultures.

We will introduce the importance of policy and infrastructure, and reference dynamic emerging luxury African fashion voices to take a deep dive into contemporary African luxury fashion. We’ll meet a generation of entrepreneurs and social activists who use their work to reframe a dated, pessimistic African narrative. You’ll be introduced to innovative brands, creatives, and discover how African fashion designers are writing their own narrative in luxury fashion.
