Debonair Afrik bounced back this year after the COVID-19 break with its institutional event the Style Lounge Weekend 2022 (#SLW22). This year’s event started off with the Creators Soiree at The Mix Design Hub. The black tie event was well-attended by fashion personalities and enthusiasts alike.
The first-of-its-kind event was tailored to celebrate creatives in the African fashion space and launch the Visionaries Fashioning Africa (VFA). The “Visionaries Fashioning Africa” is a platform that supports talents in their respective projects. The annual event is aimed at raising funds to support one fashion talent.
