The AAF Alumni network brings together brands and people who have participated in The Art of African Fashion through pop-ups, exhibitions, and programming across cities and markets. This network exists to maintain meaningful connections beyond the events, offering alumni continued visibility, access to shared knowledge, and opportunities for dialogue as they grow their practices locally and internationally.

The AAF Alumni network is intentionally small and evolving. Participation is by invitation and centred on fashion practitioners who have previously worked with or presented through The Art of African Fashion. This includes those working across ready-to-wear, bespoke, accessories, and interdisciplinary fashion practices, united by a commitment to craft, authorship, and thoughtful brand building.

As the network grows, so will the ways we support, spotlight, and engage our alumni — thoughtfully and at a pace that prioritises quality over scale.
