On November 16, 2023, La Chaufferie de Tourcoing hosted the spectacular 3rd edition of Afrifata, an exceptional event created by Zaineb El Kadiri. This event stands out for its mission to showcase talented stylists from Europe and Africa. This year, the edition took place in Hauts-de-France and took on a particularly inspiring turn by featuring artists from popular neighborhoods, financially supported by the MEL (Métropole Européenne de Lille).
One of the remarkable features of this edition lies in the choice to prioritize creations made from fabric scraps and recycled materials, thus inscribing the event in an eco-responsible approach. Stylists shone by transforming these seemingly ordinary materials into unique and extraordinary fashion pieces.
Alicia Fall, a talented presenter, brilliantly hosted this evening dedicated to fashion and creativity. Behind the scenes, there was an artistic buzz, with talented makeup artists, models with exceptional charisma, and an entire team dedicated to the success of this memorable evening.
The icing on the cake was the performance by singer Awa Imani, who set the stage on fire with her latest single, adding an enchanting musical dimension to the event.
Afrifata 2023 vividly demonstrated that fashion can be a powerful vector of artistic expression while promoting sustainability and inclusion. Behind-the-scenes images immortalize the creative energy deployed by the team, from creators to models, and testify to the positive impact of this unique event.
This edition will be remembered as a dazzling celebration of diversity, creativity, and talent, confirming Afrifata as a must-attend event in the world of fashion and art.
