How Far is the African Fashion Industry? Potential, sustainability, and Challenges

Model Franco Kabano on the runway show in the Kigali Triennial 2024's Fashion [PHOTO MYA]

The fashion industry in Africa faces several challenges in achieving sustainability, primarily due to a combination of economic, social, and environmental factors. However, the African fashion industry is brimming with potential as stated in the UNESCO Report dubbed The African Fashion Sector: Trends, Challenges and Opportunities for Growth. A burgeoning middle class, a youthful and growing population, and rapid urbanization are creating a booming market for African-made clothing.  African fashion designers, drawing inspiration from traditional techniques and a rich cultural heritage, are not only creating beautiful and unique garments but also fostering economic growth and empowering communities across the continent.

However, despite its undeniable potential, the African fashion industry also faces a number of significant challenges. These challenges include a lack of investment, limited educational and training opportunities, difficulty sourcing high-quality materials, and navigating complex intellectual property issues.

A Flourishing Market

Africa boasts a population of 1.2 billion people, with an estimated 60% being under the age of 25. This young demographic is fashion-forward and has a growing disposable income.  A burgeoning middle class, with a taste for quality and a desire for unique pieces, is further propelling the demand for African fashion.  Rapid urbanization is another key driver of growth in the fashion industry. As more and more Africans move to cities, the demand for ready-made clothing increases.

The rise of digital technologies is also playing a significant role in the growth of the African fashion industry. Online platforms are providing African designers with a global reach, allowing them to showcase their collections to a wider audience and connect with potential customers around the world. Social media is another powerful tool that African fashion designers are using to promote their brands and build a loyal following.

Cultural Inspiration and Economic Empowerment

African fashion is known for its vibrant colours, bold prints, and unique silhouettes. African designers are drawing inspiration from a rich cultural heritage, incorporating traditional textiles, techniques, and motifs into their contemporary designs. This not only creates visually stunning garments but also helps to preserve and promote African culture.

The growth of the African fashion industry is also having a positive impact on local economies. The industry is creating jobs, not only for designers and tailors but also for artisans, weavers, and other skilled workers. By promoting the use of locally sourced materials and traditional techniques, the fashion industry is helping to empower communities and foster sustainable economic development.

Moreover, the focus on locally sourced materials and traditional production techniques fosters sustainable practices. By promoting the use of organic cotton, natural dyes, and upcycled materials, African fashion designers are not only reducing their environmental footprint but also creating a demand for sustainable production methods. This not only benefits the environment but also promotes ethical sourcing and empowers local communities to build sustainable livelihoods.

The Road Ahead: Challenges and Opportunities

The African fashion industry is at a crossroads. With its rich cultural heritage, talented designers, and growing market, the industry has the potential to become a major force in the global fashion landscape. However, in order to achieve this potential, a number of challenges need to be addressed.

There is a need for increased investment in the African fashion industry. This investment can come from a variety of sources, including governments, development agencies, and the private sector. Investment is needed to support the development of educational and training programs, improve infrastructure, and provide access to finance for African fashion businesses.

There is also a need for stronger intellectual property protection mechanisms in Africa. This will help to protect African designers from counterfeiting and ensure that they can reap the rewards of their creativity.

By addressing these challenges, stakeholders can help the African fashion industry to flourish. A thriving African fashion industry will not only create jobs and boost economic growth but also promote cultural identity and empower communities across the continent.

Bridging the Gap: Solutions for a Sustainable Future

The future of the African fashion industry hinges on addressing the aforementioned challenges and creating an ecosystem that fosters sustainable growth. Increased investment is crucial, and stakeholders from governments and development agencies to private investors and philanthropists need to recognize the industry’s potential and allocate resources accordingly. These investments can support the development of educational and training programs in fashion design, production, and business management.

Infrastructure development is also essential. Investing in textile manufacturing facilities, processing plants, and logistics networks can create a more efficient and cost-effective environment for domestic production. This will not only reduce reliance on imports but also improve the quality and consistency of locally sourced materials.

Strengthening intellectual property protection mechanisms in Africa is crucial to safeguard the creativity of designers. Governments need to implement stricter laws against counterfeiting and streamline the process for registering and protecting designs. Additionally, raising awareness about IP rights among designers and fashion businesses is essential.

Beyond Borders: A Global Stage for African Fashion

The rise of digital technologies presents exciting opportunities for African fashion designers to reach a global audience. Online platforms like e-commerce websites and social media can be leveraged to showcase collections, connect with international buyers, and build a loyal customer base.  Collaboration between African designers and international fashion brands can be a powerful driver of growth. Such partnerships can provide access to expertise, technology, and global distribution networks, allowing African designers to expand their reach and achieve greater commercial success.

The Man Behind the Kigali Fashion Week: The Story of John Bunyenshuri

John Bunyeshuli CEO and founder of the Kigali Fashion Week [PHOTO IGIHE]

 Since the inception of Kigali Fashion Week, one man has stood as the driving force and mastermind behind this thriving brand. With a friendly demeanor that exudes cultural sophistication and goodwill toward others, John Bunyenshuri embodies the essence of a true cosmopolitan gentleman.

Growing up in Uganda, Bunyenshuri was known as the class clown, always bringing joy and laughter to those around him. His fondest memories include lively outings with friends, painting the town red with wine, laughter, and dancing. 

At Namasagali College in Eastern Uganda, Bunyenshuri led his dance group, the “Creative Dance Troupe,” on memorable trips to the Capital Kampala to then popular Suzanna Night Club.

Even in his formative years, he recognized that showbiz was his true calling. Fate intervened when his family, facing persecution during Obote’s regime, relocated to Vancouver, Canada.

He pursued his studies at San Antonio Community College before venturing to London to study at the London City Lit College for the Creative Arts, specializing in Camera Acting and Theater.

“I may be shy by nature, but acting allows me to transform into a whole new persona. When I’m in front of the camera or on stage, I become extroverted, embracing my alter-ego,” John reflects his love for acting.

His journey led him to New York in 1993, where he embarked on a career in the entertainment industry. It was during this time that he discovered a passion for jazz music, mentored by a Jewish-Scottish saxophonist. 

Additionally, he found success working with Suzan Scott of the Suzan Scott Agency, portraying a Luther Vandross look-alike for gigs and commercial advertisements.

“With earnings from my work as Luther Vandross, I made a down payment on an apartment in Brooklyn. Around that time, I was in my first relationship and had my first daughter. She, too, has found her place in the entertainment industry,” Bunyenshuri shares.

Although the relationship didn’t last, he found love again and had his second born daughter, also pursuing a career in entertainment. 

Motivated by his experiences, John Bunyenshuri made it his mission to advocate for young talents in the industry, ensuring they receive fair treatment and opportunities.

In 2011, Bunyenshuri came to Rwanda and founded Kigali Fashion Week, aiming to support local talent and generate employment opportunities for youth both locally and internationally. 

Today, Kigali Fashion Week has expanded to major cities like London, New York, Amsterdam, and Tokyo, showcasing Rwandan creativity on a global scale.

Looking ahead, Bunyenshuri has exciting plans, including partnering with Bella Flowers to launch Kigali Flower Festival in February next year. Additionally, he’s forming a jazz band, Twilight Jazz Groove, poised for a forthcoming launch, further enriching Rwanda’s cultural landscape.

 After winning the prestigious 2024 Rising Sustainable Brand Award in New York, Rwandan based clothing line Asantii is primed to push its brand to the global market, according to Asanti’s analyst, Noble Nziza. Speaking to The New Times, Nziza said that “this prize inspired and motivated Asantii to keep pushing for the globalization of Made in Africa”. He added that Asantii’s road to being a global sustainable brand is truly one with intention and commitment to its people and the planet.

 Founded by Rwandan entrepreneur, . She is a Rwandan woman entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience in the global fashion and garments industry in Europe but also in China and South East Asia and more recently since 2017, in Africa. Maryse is the founder of Pink Mango, an export-focused garment trading and manufacturing group. She is also the co-founder of the C&D Pink Mango Rwanda joint venture, a group of export-oriented garment factories employing jointly 5,000 workers in Rwanda to date, 70% of whom are women.

In 2022, Asantii, in February got recognised during an event hosted by Coterie New York, an organisation that links up-and-coming designers with knowledgeable insiders who can change the direction of fashion. The event was held on February 22, and was attended by 760 other people in the fashion sector from across the world.

“When you meet other brands in the community you realize everyone has the same hustle - fashion owners, fashion designers, fashion sellers - I love that aspect of COTERIE." - J Squared Showroom

 Their commitment to sustainability is based on the concept of "ubuntu," which translates as humanity; it is the idea that "I am" because "we are." It is seen largely in how they have established a conducive environment for their workers by giving daily meals, monthly sanitary pads, and subsidized groceries to all factory workers.

Asantii believes that this is the first project of its kind, as they have made it their mission to add value to the rich skills Africa has. 80 per cent of the materials are sourced from the continent because Asantii is particularly conscious of the origins of its raw resources; their denim is sourced from Egypt, their cotton is sourced from Madagascar, and their added novelty fabrics are hand woven in Burkina Faso. They have also partnered with cooperatives in Rwanda for broidery and in South Africa for beading.

 To create their collections, the Asantii team brings together 14 African designers they work with, each with their own brand, to share inspiration and heritage, rooted in the continent right from the initiation phase. Asantii particularly merges cultural heritage and industry knowledge to create timeless and effortless essentials that pay homage to Africans. The purpose of this project is to address the issue of Africa's thin representation in the global fashion industry—less than one per cent.

The purpose of this project is to address the issue of Africa's thin representation in the global fashion industry—less than 1%. To widen the representation of fashion in Africa, Asantii became part of the first export and domestic garment factory in Rwanda and embarked on a passionate, sustainable journey.

Maryse’s dedication to creating meaningful development in Africa, hence her decision to set up Pink Ubuntu, a CSR program which aims to improve the living conditions of workers, particularly women in the textile and garment industries across the African continent.  The clothing brand ASANTI is a contemporary pan African clothing brand celebrating the continent’s heritage and craftsmanship through sustainable and fair fashion. Asantii was launched in August 2022 and is currently available online and in selected concept stores in Kigali, Accra, Abidjan, London, New York, and Brussels.
