An Updated Africa Fashion Weeks Calendar.

First introduced in February 2025, the #AFWcalendar is a centralised resource tracking key fashion weeks across the continent. This update is expanded, and informed by research, submissions and regional updates — giving designers, media, enthusiasts, and sponsors an accurate guide to Africa’s fast-growing fashion landscape.

This update covers North, West, East, Central and Southern Africa. It reflects key changes including new dates, paused events, 10-year milestones, and additions such as Eco Fashion Week, Egypt Fashion Week, and LA Fashion Week.

The calendar highlights platforms that consistently contribute to Africa’s fashion economy, prioritise quality production, and support eco-conscious fashion.

🧵 Nigeria’s textile industry was once one of the biggest in Africa. Today, only a few factories remain.

Can Nigeria’s textile industry survive? What can fashion entrepreneurs do to help develop and circulate the fashion economy?

Last season, Clearly Invincible followed the designers Peter Oshobor of @oshobor and Alexandra Obochi of @ndiiche_ through the preparations and presentations of their collection on the Lagos Fashion Week stage.

The contrast of a Green Access cohort and a ‘main stage’ designer navigating the business of fashion & an interpersonal relationship during one of the busiest seasons of the year.

With the upcoming 2026 season, we look forward to seeing how Peter & Alex have evolved.
