The first edition of The African “RunShow” will take place on April 30in collaboration with the Africa Museum in Brussels.
This aims to be an annual event that celebrates the creativity, elegance, and diversity of African fashion, with a particular focus on Central Africa.
Fashion designers, models, celebrities, and artists from Belgium and neighbouring countries will come together to showcase the talents of the African fashion industry.
This first edition focuses on the theme of raffia, a natural fibre extracted from the leaves of the raffia palm, primarily native to Africa and Madagascar.
It is a sustainable and renewable material, renowned for its flexibility and strength. This theme inspires designers to integrate raffia in innovative and contemporary ways into their collections, celebrating Africa’s rich cultural traditions in a modern context
The African RunShow was founded by sisters Exaucé and Divine Ngalasi, known for their innovative approach to digital creation and urban culture.
Exaucé, a personal shopper at House of Trends, and Divine, founder of NailsTherapyx, combined their expertise in styling and communications to bring this project to life. Alongside Tusevo Toen, founder of Streetbuzz.be, they form a dynamic team that highlights urban trends and African fashion in a contemporary way
