Presented annually by AfriKin, the event is part of the organization’s broader cultural programming and offers a themed fashion showcase that shifts each year.</p> <p>The 2026 edition centers on <em>REGENESIS</em>, examining what follows resistance through fashion rooted in reconstruction, cultural continuity and creative authorship. Designers present collections that combine heritage techniques with modern silhouettes, Afrofuturist perspectives and sustainability-driven approaches, positioning African and diasporic fashion as a source of innovation rather than response.</p> <p>Hosted at Maison AfriKin within the Scott Galvin Community Center, the event brings together designers, artists and audiences for a curated runway experience that frames fashion as both cultural expression and forward-looking practice. Proceeds support AfriKin Foundation’s nonprofit initiatives focused on arts education, artist support and community development.</p>
