Creative Africa Nexus (CANEX) Partners with Tranoï to Promote African Design Talent at Paris and Japan Fashion Week
Creative Africa Nexus (CANEX), an intervention by African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) to promote Africa’s creative and cultural industries, has announced a partnership with Tranoï, organisers of international fashion events, to showcase Spring/Summer collections by 35 African fashion designers at the Paris and Japan fashion weeks.
Under the partnership, 15 African designers will get an opportunity to present their creations at Tranoï Tokyo during the Japan Fashion Week that will be held at Yoyogi National Stadium on September 3 and 4, 2025.
An additional 20 African designers will be exhibiting in the next edition of Tranoï Paris from October 2 to 5, 2025 at the Palais Brongniart, during the Paris Fashion Week. Out of the 20 designers participating in Tranoï Paris, three will be selected by a jury of industry experts to take part in an exclusive fashion show at the Palais Brongniart, on Friday October 3, 2025.
This opportunity is open to designers or fashion brands of African origin from Africa or based in the diaspora, who will need to present a ready-to-wear collection with a strong creative signature. They will also need to have an ethical and/or innovative approach to the design process; as well as at least two collections to their credit and a commercial presence (website, points of sale or e-commerce).
