  • About the event

    This annual week-long experience aims to promote world-class designer collections that push the envelope on style, while staying true to the traditions and inspiration of the African continent, and the diaspora. AFWH is designed to bring opportunities to introduce African glamour, radiance, culture and fashion to the world. AFWH is committed to empower communities to get involved with the arts and push the envelope to create more economic opportunities for our communities. Events will include Fashion Shows, Workshops, Popup Shops, etc.

    Why should you sponsor?

    African Fashion Week Houston has opened doors to many young designers in the Houston community and beyond. Many models, designers, makeup artists and hairstyles from all over the world travel to Houston during our Fashion week. Whether they are flying from Lagos Nigeria, Senegal, Ghana, India, Aruba, Bahamas, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York or Puerto Rico, many of the designers and fashonistas will get a chance to tour the City of Houston and build relationships with the business community. The cultural aspect of AFWH improves the interaction between trade associations, tourism suppliers and marketing organisations. Additionally, visitors in town for AFWH get a chance to visit and tour legendary landmarks in the City of Houston. We have developed a tourism package that includes visits to The Space Center of Houston, Houston Zoo, Johnson Space Center, Downtown Aquarium, Allen Theater, Houston Museum of Natural Science, Water Wall, Buffalo Bayou Park, and much more. AFWH believes in promoting through grassroots. We have developed programs such as Project AI, Fashion Design students at The Art Institute of Houston prepare for the AFWHOUSTON Ankara competition where the top 10 designers will have their designs showcased during African Fashion Week Houston. This program is a part of the fashion curriculum of The Art Institute of Houston. Similar programs are being planned for the fashion department for University of Houston and Houston Community Colleges.

     

    The funding of this project will help the development of tourism and other industries to boost the economic fortune of the City of Houston and to position the city in the global market. Like Fashion cities like London, Paris and New York, we are determined to make Houston a Fashion hub which will diversify the economy and give the City of Houston a consistent revenue based on Fashion shows, events and trade shows.
