The African Fashion Fund unveils new board members

Celebrating, advancing, and empowering the fashion talent of African descent, this is the aim and objective of the African Fashion Fund.

As part of plans to position the fund to be pivotal to the growth of the industry, the organization has announced that they’re expanding their board to welcome five new board members who have the requisite skills to nurture more African designers in the global fashion industry and luxury market.
