I’m increasingly seeing the importance of reading, particularly about fashion — whether you’re a student, consumer or enthusiast. Let’s not just consume trends and runway shows and celebrity looks.

But awareness is rising. Creators and designers within Africa are shifting the narrative and taking responsibility for what fashion should look like moving forward.

Because the next generation will not create or consume blindly—they will do it with awareness. 🌍

A week after the seventh @twygmag Sustainable Fashion Awards, hosted by @okbaddiek, the night continues to highlight the people quietly — and not so quietly — reshaping our fashion ecosystem.

From emerging designers to cultural custodians, this year’s winners remind us that sustainability here is as much about community and craft as it is about innovation.

Congratulations to the Changemaker Award winner, @wandalephoto and to Emerging Designer Award winner, Aidan Peters of @muiskitte— both receiving R100 000 — and true to the spirit of the awards, every winner received a wooden trophy carved by Lameck Tayengwa Creations, grounding the night in community and craft. 🫶🏾

Swipe to meet the full slate of winners.
