The Senegalese capital is about to welcome the 16th edition of the Dakar Fashion Week (DKRFW) from the 20th to the 24th of June 2018.
While the different team are finalizing the organisation of this week dedicated to African Fashion, the principal actors of this edition are about to blow our mind once again with a high level of creativity and unique « savoir-faire ».
This already iconic Fashion Week of West Africa will welcome as usual a list of designers and models from all over the continent and the rest of the world!
The models:
