The African Fashion International Johannesburg Fashion Week, one of the biggest fashion events in South Africa, held at the Melrose Arch from 4th to 7th of October and we can already predict what our Spring/Summer 2019 closets will look like.

The event which kicked off with vibrant shows on Thursday saw some the best designers from across Africa including Tokyo James from Nigeria, South Africa’s David Tlale, and 5KNot.

From dapper suiting to colourful, tasteful fabrics, here are the runway highlights from Day 1 of #AFIJFW2018.
