Africa Fashion Week London is officially returning to our iconic 2024 venue, Kensington Town Hall this August, and we’re coming back louder, stronger, and more fashion-forward than ever.

Two years ago, AFWL lit up Kensington with unforgettable energy - packed catwalks, electric audiences, powerful conversations, and next-level African design that set the standard. The impact was undeniable. The vibe? Unmatched. And now, we’re ready to do it all again, only bigger.

AFWL2026 will deliver a full powerhouse programme featuring:

  • Game-changing panel talks and industry conversation

  • Creative workshops and masterclasses shaping the future of fashion

  • Cutting-edge catwalk showcases from global African designers

  • A vibrant exhibition marketplace perfect for elevating your summer wardrobe

Get ready to discover statement pieces, bold prints, and standout looks just in time for the legendary Notting Hill Carnival.

This is more than a fashion event. It’s culture. It’s innovation. It’s global African excellence on full display.

Mark your calendars. Bring your energy. And prepare to experience AFWL2026 where fashion disrupts, inspires, and defines the moment.
