Five African designers have been chosen to participate in the first Ethical Fashion Initiative Accelerator Programme. These are:
- REIGN
- Margaux Wong
- Lukhanyo Mdingi
- WUMAN
- Jiamini
To celebrate their selection the EFI has issued a series of videos capturing the process and inspirations of the designers who will have their collections formally revealed during Pitti Uomo 2021 through a digital showroom and presentation.
The EFI Accelerator programme focuses on the specific needs of African fashion brands, with a business development approach that prepares its beneficiaries to become investment-ready. The accelerator targets existing fashion brands producing in Africa, who require additional support to accelerate their business in the global marketplace.
