Stephen Manzini, CEO of Soweto Fashion Week, stresses the importance of this summit. He notes the potential for these economies to unify and forge trade agreements, strengthening their position within the global fashion industry. This shift could also prompt dominant economies to look east and south for fashion trends, integrating these markets into the global mainstream.
In conjunction with the summit, South African brand Tshegofatso By Design will present its latest collection at Moscow Fashion Week, showcasing innovative designs that fuse traditional African motifs with modern fashion trends.
The event’s Business Program will address various topics, including the decolonisation of fashion, fashion’s role in economic development, and the export opportunities for BRICS+ countries. Attendees will also enjoy the International Exhibition ‘Heritage’, where designers from participating nations will exhibit collections that celebrate their rich cultural heritage and craftsmanship.
The BRICS+ Fashion Summit serves as a strategic platform for fashion leaders from emerging countries to collaborate and promote diversity within the industry. It highlights the challenges faced by local brands, which often struggle to compete with global companies. The summit encourages the promotion of cultural values through fashion and supports initiatives that benefit local communities.
