A new exhibition celebrating the creativity of the contemporary African fashion scene, titled Africa Fashion, will be at the McCord Stewart Museum from September 25 to February 1, 2026 — as the only Canadian stop on an international tour and organized by London’s Victoria and Albert Museum.
The exhibition is said to be one of the largest ever dedicated to African fashion, showcasing the creative energy of designers, makers, and photographers from across the continent. The exhibition features one hundred garments and accessories, as well as textiles, photographs, and videos, from the early 1960s to today.
Additional stops on this international tour include London, Brooklyn, Portland, Melbourne, and Chicago, which will all illustrate how African fashions have drawn international attention
