The Fashion Festival

Africa’s fashion community has long understood that the continent’s most compelling creative energy does not move in a single direction; it radiates. Each December, that energy converges in Accra.

What is Accra Fashion Week?

Held during the third week of December, Accra Fashion Week is West Africa’s most internationally recognised fashion platform. A dynamic programme of runway presentations, design exhibitions, pop-up retail activations and industry forums that place Ghana’s creative culture in direct conversation with the global fashion industry.

Emerging and established African designers unveil collections that attract buyers, editors, brand directors and discerning fashion travellers from London, Paris, Lagos, Nairobi and New York. The week is both a commercial platform and a cultural statement - a declaration that African fashion is not a derivative of anywhere else; it is, unequivocally, itself.

Luxury Stay for Fashion Week 

For international industry professionals attending Accra Fashion Week, logistics are as important as the programme itself. Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City Accra offers a central location with convenient access to venues across the city, a concierge team experienced in coordinating multi-show itineraries and transportation, private meeting spaces for buyer appointments and brand briefings and the welcoming atmosphere of The Gallery Bar – the natural gathering place for the fashion community between shows.
