Additionally, it included talks and displays that tackled important topics including financing for African artists and access to global markets.
Yetty Ogunnubi, the founder of FashionEVO, spoke at the event and stated, “The ACM event is known for promoting growth and innovation in Africa’s creative sector.” Additionally, the masterclasses and seminars offered by experts will enhance the experience by providing attendees with useful information and motivation to influence African fashion in the future. “The event allowed Nigerian fashion to shine in all its glory, from the vibrant designs on mannequins to the lively panel conversations on financing and global market access,” added Osula, who also spoke at the event.
“We are presenting a global narrative about Africa’s potential and its boundless creativity, not just fabrics,” Osula added. “We have transcended the traditional ‘African prints’ and now have globally relevant designs with fine craftsmanship and intricate details that can compete with global brands.” How African designers may use technology to push the boundaries of the fashion business was another main topic of discussion during the event. Osula’s personal experience travelling the world and showcasing her creations shows how powerful events like FashionEVO are at changing people’s attitudes.
“I have personally witnessed the shift in how the world views African design. People were in awe of the quality and ingenuity emanating from Africa when I returned to Qatar following the event. “The work being done by platforms like FashionEVO is largely responsible for this shift,” she said. “We no longer wait for recognition from the outside world. We are presenting ourselves, sharing our tales, and displaying our talents.
