Rwanda Cultural Fashion Show 2019 Presents:

Rwanda Fashion Conference - Designed in Africa, Made in Rwanda

Rwanda Cultural Fashion Show is an annual fashion event to celebrate the designers of Rwanda and East Africa using materials from the African continent and drawing upon African culture. This year's events include a fashion tour, the annual fashion show, and our first ever conference. 

The theme of the conference, "Designed in Africa, Made in Rwanda," is a series of thought-provoking panel discussions about the fashion industry in Rwanda and East Africa. Keynote speakers will include a fashion designer and a Rwanda government representative to discuss the "Made in Rwanda" campaign. 

According to a report published by the World Economic Forum (WEF), the fashion industry will double in the next 10 years, generating up to $5 trillion annually. As part of Rwanda's strategy to position the country as a hub for regional and international events, the Rwanda Development Board (RDB) is prioritizing the fashion industry.
