Pop Up 001
May 27-29, 2022
From intricately hand-woven wild silk textiles, to elaborate, bespoke jewellery and adornments, Africa is rich in cultural and aesthetic luxuries that go back centuries.
This presentation, the first of its kind, was an invitation to experience the flamboyance of African fashion, to reimagine luxury beyond traditional Eurocentric palates, and a reminder of the endless possibilities the African continent presents. Featured brands included Christie Brown (Ghana), IAMISIGO (Nigeria), Loza Maléombho (Côte D’Ivoire).

The Art of African Fashion (AAF), a pop-up/showcase that aims to introduce Scandinavia to various clothing and accessory brands from Africa and the Africa diaspora.

April 11 - May 10 2024
As AAF entered its third year, we were committed to delivering a more intentional retail experience for our exhibiting brands and patrons.
This pop-up started with an opening mixer, followed by a series of private shopping events with Soho House and Sthlm Ladies Club, a lecture with Folksuniversitet, as well as general shopping days. This was our best one yet! -
Design Dialogues
September 18, 2024
Beyond retail, AAF is about fostering essential dialogue. This event featured a compelling discussion between Angelo Da Silviero and Neal David Dodoo, where they explored their journeys, insights on circularity, and the impact of heritage in fashion.
Through this platform, we aim to explore the rich synergies between African and Scandinavian fashion, emphasizing sustainable practices & cultural narratives.
