Our Story

Kolwezi Fashion Week began with a simple idea — to show the world that creativity is one of Kolwezi’s greatest resources.

What started as a celebration of fashion has become a space where culture, identity, and innovation meet.

Here, heritage isn’t preserved — it’s reimagined.

This Year's Theme: Extraction of Style

Extraction of Style Kolwezi has always been known for what comes from its soil — copper, cobalt, gold. This year, we look deeper. Extraction of Style is about uncovering what lies beneath the surface: the memories, traditions, and identities that shape who we are today. It’s a reminder that our true richness isn’t underground — it’s within us.
