Swahili Fashion Week
Swahili Fashion Week stands as the largest and most significant annual fashion event across the African continent. It serves as a platform for fashion and accessory designers from Swahili-speaking nations and beyond, providing them with an opportunity to showcase their talent, market their creativity, and establish connections with both clientele and the global fashion industry.
The primary objective of Swahili Fashion Week is to highlight the potential of the fashion industry as a lucrative creative sector in the region, while simultaneously promoting the concept of “Made in Africa.”
The platform was founded in 2008 by Mustafa Hassanali, a renowned Pan African couturier from Tanzania.
In 2022, the 15th edition of this prestigious event took place in Dar es Salaam from December 2nd to 4th, continuing its tradition of showcasing exceptional fashion talent.
