Stepping into the vibrant world of African fashion

Twenty-two pioneering designers from 12 African nations recently made their collective debut at the 2025 A/W Shanghai Fashion Week. Organized by Africa Reimagined — a platform under Development Reimagined dedicated to promoting African luxury fashion globally — the landmark event featured a trade exhibition, an insightful forum, and a captivating runway show. It not only showcased Africa's unique craftsmanship, cultural narratives and sustainable innovation, but also marked a pivotal moment in Africa's global fashion journey, bridging cultures and opening new markets.
