Coinciding with American Independence Day, the all day fashion extravaganza will sashay into action from 11am and go on until midnight at the Crown Banqueting venue, in Digbeth, Birmingham. Inspired by the hugely successful African Fashion Week in London and other fashion events around the globe, hostess and organiser, Chiedza Ziyambe says:
“Our U.K. celebration of all things Zimbabwe fashion, art and design related will be the first showcase of its kind in the U.K. We are all so excited, because there is a real hunger for African couture and street fashions here in recent years. African designs and apparel can now achieve their rightful place in the global fashion market; we want to really kick start things here in the heart of the U.K.”
The fashion event provides an opportunity to preview the work of designers from Zimbabwe. Attendees will get to see the breadth of creative talent, which has contributed to Zimbabwe’s reputation as one of the best countries for producing fashion.
