NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, August 22, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Zimbabwe Fashion Week (ZFW) today confirmed its 2025 edition for October 8–12, 2025 at the Hyatt Regency Harare, The Meikles, signaling a new era of investment in Southern Africa’s fashion economy and a compelling slate for international media and buyers.
Founded by Priscilla Chigariro, ZFW has been a launchpad for Zimbabwean and regional talent since 2009, cultivating a pipeline from atelier to editorial and retail.
This year’s program is positioned to translate design stories into global demand—meeting editors, stylists, and buyers where craft, culture, and commerce intersect. The runway will highlight couture, ready-to-wear, leather goods, and hand-crochet alongside rising streetwear narratives—reflecting a market that’s maturing fast and traveling far.
Why it matters now (for U.S. media):
Confirmed dates & venue make travel planning straightforward; accreditation is open and the venue partner underscores ZFW’s institutional credibility.
Zimbabwe’s global fashion moment is widening: the country is slated to host World Fashion Week® 2026, with Victoria Falls in the frame—another macro-signal that the region’s fashion infrastructure is scaling.
