AFRICA FASHION WEEK LONDON OPEN ENTRY FOR APPLICATION

 The third edition of Africa Fashion Week London (AFWL) returns on 3-5th August 2013 and application is now open for designers who wish to showcase on the runway and/or exhibit their merchandise over the three-day exhibition.

Following the unprecedented success of their sophomore event in August 2012, in a bid to grow bigger, AFWL has not only expanded to three days but also moved to a bigger venue, Old Truman Brewery F Block, a recently redeveloped and formidable warehouse in hip and happening Shoreditch.

This year's event is set to see 100 designers on the runway and over 100 exhibitors spread across Old Truman Brewery’s massive indoor space. Once again, Africa Fashion Week London is set to be the biggest fashion event across Europe showcasing African and African-inspired fashion.

As well as these changes, another important change for Africa Fashion Week London comes in the form of two patrons this year, Mrs. Fifi Ejindu, the Nigeria-based architect and businesswoman and Yinka Shonibare MBE, the London-based globally celebrated Nigerian fine artist were announced as the female and male patrons for next year by CEO and founder of AFWL Ronke Ademiluyi on Tuesday, 4 December at the press preview of Studio 29, the first Africa Fashion Week London concession boutique soon to open in Lagos.

Ronke Ademiluyi, CEO and founder of Africa Fashion Week London said “You can expect Africa Fashion Week London 2013 to be a much bigger fashion affair than both the debut and sophomore editions”
