Appearance

Africa Fashion Week Cologne

African fashion gets shown in Europe far more often than African materials get credited. We took part in the 2025 edition in Cologne for that reason.

The connection

The continent our stones come from is the same one the collections come from. On a runway that link is obvious for the length of a show, and it is worth making obvious more often than that.

What we brought

Pieces set with our stones, shown alongside the collections rather than in a separate display case at the back.

What came of it

Contacts with designers who want stones with a stated origin, which is a slower conversation than a trade fair but a more durable one.

The full run of pictures from the Cologne edition. Access is by password because the images belong to the event and its photographers as much as to us.
