ECO FASHION WEEK AFRICA

We are thrilled to present Eco Fashion Week Africa, an exciting event conceptualized by Belinda, founder of Sustainable Fashion Talks and Ruth Anyango (Dolly The Seamstress)
The first event (Eco Fashion Week Kenya) was whole week of healing our earth through environmental activities such as clean-ups, eco educational workshops, forums, swaps, among other activities that involved organizations, brands, policymakers, producers, and individuals both young and old interested in the Eco culture.

VISION

Our vision goes beyond the runway to sow the seeds of change across fields of textile waste, uniting designers, artisans, and consumers in the art of ecological responsibility. Through intergenerational activities like education, collaboration, and cultural celebration in Africa, we awaken a global audience to the power of conscious consumption in the fashion industry.

EFWA and the SDG goals

INCLUSIVITY

When we say inclusivity in the fashion industry and conversations, there’s a tendency to run for diverse models on the runway. Inclusivity to Eco Fashion Week Africa means creating intergenerational activities and events that includes every human that wears clothes. In our efforts to being inclusive, we are not only working with fashion brands, we are also including other industry leaders who are trying to contribute to a better environment in this transformative experience that will inspires positive change in the fashion industry and beyond.

At Eco Fashion Week Africa, our core belief is that sustainable fashion goes hand in hand with inclusivity. It is our mission to break the barriers of traditional beauty standards both on and off the runway. We strive to communicate the message that sustainable fashion is for everyone, transcending boundaries and embracing the rich diversity within our society. By promoting inclusive representation, we aim to inspire individuals from all walks of life to make conscious and ethical fashion choices by engaging them in activities that spark curiosity in them.

At Eco Fashion Week Africa, we believe that the world does not need another usual Fashion Week. This Fashion week revolves around tackling global textile waste by reusing what's already produced instead of producing new clothes for the runway.

OUR MISSION

To create a Fashion Week where the power of fashion is used to leave a positive imprint and create a runway that represents a platform for progress, setting a global standard for a fashion industry that genuinely enriches our planet and empowers its people.

This is the slowest fashion week you will ever be part of. It's time for fashion to take drastic actions towards healing our planet and not overproduce for the runway in the name of Sustainable Fashion.
