Français flagEnglish flag

When tradition meets innovation, style becomes a revolution.

African fashion is entering a new era, one where fabric is 3D-rendered, where catwalks exist in the metaverse, and where heritage meets code. This talk explores how African designers, coders and digital creatives are blending ancestral aesthetics with cutting-edge technology to reinvent the way we create, wear and share fashion.

From phygital collections to virtual fittings, from NFT fashion drops to AI-generated prints, this session showcases the vanguard of Afro-digital style — and questions what it means to be a fashion designer in the age of digital-first culture.
