Our Mission at African Cultural Fashion Heritage
At African Cultural Fashion Heritage (ACFH), our mission is rooted in empowerment, cultural pride, and global unity. We are dedicated to using fashion as a transformative tool to celebrate heritage, uplift communities, and give voice to Black, African, and Caribbean creatives around the world.
Empower Local Designers & Creatives
We provide emerging and established designers with the opportunity to showcase their work on international platforms, helping them gain visibility, connect with global networks, and thrive in competitive markets.
Champion Black, African, & Caribbean Brands
ACFH serves as a gateway for brands of African and Caribbean descent to enter the U.S. fashion market and beyond—offering authentic exposure, strategic partnerships, and the ability to grow across borders.
Highlight the Beauty of African Heritage
Through powerful displays of fashion, art, and tradition, we shine a light on the richness of African culture, showcasing its timeless influence and evolving creativity to global audiences.
We believe in letting Black creatives tell their own stories, through the language of fashion and the legacy of culture. Our platform exists to foster unity, amplify underrepresented voices, and build a community where every stitch is a statement of identity and pride.
We proudly support and empower young models, adult talents, women and men artisans, and all who contribute to the vibrant world of cultural fashion. ACFH is not just an event—it’s a movement. One that connects people from all walks of life, celebrates beauty in its many forms, and gives every participant a chance to be seen, heard, and celebrated.
We are redefining heritage. We are empowering through fashion. We are united in culture.
