The McCord Stewart Museum will host a captivating exhibition, Africa Fashion, from September 25 to February 1, 2026. This unique showcase of contemporary African fashion is a must-see event, featuring 100 stunning garments, accessories, textiles, photographs, and videos that highlight the creativity and diversity of African designers and makers from the 1960s to the present day.
Africa Fashion, the largest exhibition of its kind, aims to amplify African voices and perspectives in the global fashion landscape. Curated by Dr. Christine Checinska from London’s Victoria & Albert Museum, the exhibition celebrates the rich histories and cultures of Africa through the lens of fashion as a powerful form of self-expression.
This international tour, making stops in cities like London, Brooklyn, Portland, Melbourne, and Chicago, showcases how African fashion has evolved into a dynamic force of post-colonial self-expression, drawing attention and admiration worldwide. From historical vanguards to contemporary visionaries, Africa Fashion promises to redefine fashion geography and inspire a new era of creativity and inclusivity in the industry.
