Afro Fashion Experience

Join us for a Fashion Show & Pop-Up Shop celebrating Afro-descendant designers, models, dancers, artists, food vendors, and businesses! Celebrate Culture. Shop Global. Walk the Runway. We are bringing together fashion, culture, art, and entrepreneurship for an unforgettable Fashion Show and Pop-Up Shop at the DuSable Black History Museum and Education Center, one of the nation’s leading institutions dedicated to preserving and celebrating African American history and culture. The event will feature designers, models, dancers, artists, culinary experiences, and businesses of Afro descent from Chicago and around the world—creating a dynamic platform to showcase the incredible talent, creativity, and entrepreneurship within our global Black community. Our Mission Our goal is bigger than a fashion show. We are creating a movement to celebrate our culture, amplify our voices, and create meaningful opportunities for Black-owned businesses. This event will shine a positive light on the richness and diversity of Black culture while providing entrepreneurs and creatives with a platform to connect, gain visibility, build relationships, and grow their businesses. By bringing together talent and businesses from across the diaspora, we are creating a space where culture meets commerce—and where the community can come together to support, celebrate, and invest in one another. This is more than an event. It is an opportunity to celebrate where we come from, showcase where we are, and invest in where we are going.
