ZFW 2026 Designer Applications Are Now Open
Designer Applications Are Now Open — Your Stage. Your Story. Your Roots.
ZFW 2026 is more than a fashion event. It is a living, breathing celebration of culture, identity, and the craft behind every collection.
Under the theme SOWN: Rooted in Zimbabwe, we are inviting designers from across the globe to apply — students taking their first steps, established labels seeking new markets, tailors, accessories designers, textile artists, and craftspeople who pour meaning into every piece they make.
You do not have to be Zimbabwean. You do not have to tell a Zimbabwean story. You simply have to be rooted — in your heritage, your culture, your community. This edition promises immersive showcases and bold conversations that will shape the future of fashion and its global narrative. We are building something extraordinary.
