June 2010, Johannesburg - African designers from all over the world are jet[ted] in to showcase their grans-seasonal 2010 collections at the Sandton Convention Centre during Africa Fashion Week which starts on June 30, only days before the FIFA 2010 World Cup Quarter Finals. “
Africa Fashion Week is providing a platform for shining stars from across the diaspora, the continent and the country,” says Dr. Precious Moloi-Motsepe, Chairperson of African Fashion International. “The world continues its love affair with all things African, African as a point of reference, not as a cliché and it's very important we here in Africa continue to support that.”
The four day event features more than 30 designers from Guinea Bissau, Nigeria, Uganda, Botswana, Ghana, Somali, Tunisia, French Comoros, South Africa, Mozambique, the United States and the UK.
Africa Fashion Weeks runs from June 30 - July 3 2010 at the Sandton Convention Centre.
