Spring-Summer 2027 Ready-to-Wear: Laduma Ngxokolo, Jacques Logoh and Mossi Traoré Champion African Fashion

Spring-Summer 2027 ready-to-wear collections are framed around designers using fashion as a political instrument, shaping identities and questioning power relations. South African designer Laduma Ngxokolo, through his label Maxhosa Africa, works to bring visibility to the African continent. In Paris, Togo-born stylist Jacques Logoh, founder of the Festival international de la mode au Togo, gives a platform to African creative voices on the theme of fashion against HIV. French designer Mossi Traoré stages a show at the Père-Lachaise cemetery in Paris, addressing death without taboo. The Maxhosa Africa collection is presented under the title "IZIHLWELE ZIVUMILE : les ancêtres nous ont donné leur bénédiction." The program was published on 19 October 2026 at 15:27 by France 24. The framing positions fashion as sometimes political, particularly where it interrogates power relations and identity formation.
