African Fashion Week Toronto Serves Haute Couture Style
Established by the African Fashion Canada Organization in 2012, AFWT has become one of the most popular cultural fashion events in the city, Both renowned and emerging Canadian and African labels present their collections to a sold-out crowd. This year it twas Adebayo Jones who served a jaw-dropping défilé of beautiful evening wear, cocktail dresses and gowns slithered with shimmer, glitter, sparkle, crystals, beading, lace, brocade and ornate appliqués. This unique platform allows many Afro-Canadians of the diaspora to expand their brand exposure nationally. The level of talent surpassed our initial expectations. We cannot wait to meet next year’s crop of emerging designers as we continue to follow the success of this year’s established brands.
