AFWL MENTORING PROGRAM

Black fashion students are being equipped to overcome the systemic barriers that cause the underrepresentation of leading black designers within the UK fashion industry.

The University of Northampton’s fashion department has teamed up with the Africa Fashion Week London organisation to offer undergraduates personal coaching and masterclasses from some of the UK’s leading fashion industry professionals of colour.

The aim is to prepare the students for the barriers they may face in their careers, and how to overcome them.
