Threads of Africa
Entry Closes 20th September 2024.

A virtual fashion design competition where participants from across Africa submit designs that represent their vision of the continent's future. Submissions can include sketches, digital designs, or video presentations showcasing their creative process.
This category is for designs that prioritize the planet, using eco-friendly materials, ethical practices, and innovative techniques to create garments that are as kind to the earth as they are stylish. Think of it as fashion with a conscience, where every piece tells a story of sustainability and responsibility.
Here, we celebrate the deep cultural roots of Africa. This category invites you to draw inspiration from the continent’s rich heritage, blending traditional fabrics, patterns, and techniques with contemporary styles. It's about honoring the past while creating something fresh and relevant for today's world.
This is where imagination meets innovation. In this category, we’re looking for designs that break the mold and push the boundaries of what fashion can be. Whether through cutting-edge technology, unconventional materials, or visionary aesthetics, these creations should offer a glimpse into the future of fashion, redefining what’s possible.
