Africa Fashion Day Berlin

I was scanning the web in search of coming African fashion events in 2013 and i came accross this event in African Fashion Guide website. The German fashion scene seems to be growing. To follow with care.


DETAILS
Africa Fashion Day Berlin is the vision of a fashion showcase for Designers of the African Diaspora. The event will include runway shows, showrooms, exhibitions, networking opportunities, and a fair trade program (raising awareness for fair trade is an important aspect of the Africa Fashion Day Berlin).

 “Africa Fashion Day Berlin” is intended as a network for fashion designers with an African, Afro-Caribbean and Afro-German background using the framework of an exclusive event with international character, esprit and African flair. The inaugural “Africa Fashion Day Berlin” is planned for January 2013.
