Summary
What happens when your dream event collapses weeks before launch? For cultural producer, stylist, and creative director Koya Nyanyi, it became the spark for something bigger — the African Creators Festival, now a global celebration of African innovation. In this inspiring conversation, Koya shares: * How she turned a cancelled partnership into a community-led fashion show. * Why fashion is more than clothes — it’s wearable art and storytelling. * The power of curiosity, experimentation, and “f*ing it up a little” in style and in life. * How African designers are redefining sustainability with deadstock denim and zero-waste fashion. * Why collaboration across cultures is essential for creativity and resilience.
