In order to welcome the collaboration brand Sinchui and Fuata Moyo, who showcased their gorgeous collection, African Fashion Spaces Cape Town exhibited a blend of high fashion and culture with stunning landscape and nothing less than a top-notch international production.
‘The 16th September, 2023 was an exciting prelude to what’s yet to over the next couple weeks as we rollout the few exhibition collaborations we have with some of the most exciting designers, brands and platforms associated’ said Jay Kayembe – Creative Director and co-founder of the amazing African Fashion Spaces (AFS). ‘It’s never been about following the status quo, it’s not a regular fashion show; it’s like walking through an amazing art exhibition that shows off the incredible creativity and talent in Africa through the many different lenses of culture.’

The fashion Exhibition, attended by fashion enthusiasts, designers, clients, family and friends, showcased two fantastic fashion shows that redefined the fashion scene.
