Eco Fashion in Africa: How Collaborations Are Leading the Sustainable Fashion Revolution

The global conversation on sustainability in fashion is growing, and Africa is not being left behind. At Eco Fashion Week Africa, we are committed to shaping the future of eco fashion in Kenya and beyond. We believe fashion is more than just about clothing—it’s about sustainability, innovation, and creating an inclusive platform for change.

As we gear up for our big event in November 2025, we are excited to announce a series of powerful collaborations that align with our mission of promoting sustainable fashion in Africa. These partnerships prove that we are not just a one-off event but a driving force in the global sustainable fashion movement.

Here’s what’s coming up:

SDG Village at the People Dialogue Festival – March 5-8, 2025, Nairobi

The People Dialogue Festival (PDF) is a key event in Kenya that brings together stakeholders from different sectors to discuss development, governance, and sustainability.

At Eco Fashion Week Africa, we are honored to be part of the SDG Village, a platform dedicated to conversations around the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their local implementation.

Why This Matters for Fashion

Fashion is one of the most polluting industries in the world, and its role in sustainable development is crucial. Through this collaboration, we will:

• Host discussions on how fashion can align with the SDGs.
• Showcase African brands that prioritize sustainability.
• Engage the community on responsible consumption and ethical production.

If you are looking for eco fashion in Kenya, this is an opportunity to connect with changemakers shaping the industry.
