Who We Are

African Fashion Fiesta (AFF) is an offshoot of Afontyz Styling, birthed from scores of success and a watertight reputation for hard work. AFF became a platform to showcase Afontyz's designs and those of other talented designers in the industry, via a healthy collaboration that brings in other industry insiders to create AFF.
AFF is set to be renowned for extravagant runway shows, exclusive guest lists, and trendsetting presentations that push the boundaries of fashion.
A platform built for the people behind the creativity.
African creativity deserves a global stage.
