From the colours and techniques that define African textiles to the growing demand for distinctive, responsibly made materials, this conversation will explore how textile innovation can shape the future of African fashion.
Drawing on her work with Dye Lab, Oseyi will examine the possibilities and challenges of building a textile business, developing distinctive materials, and bridging the gap between traditional craft and contemporary design.
The discussion will consider how local textile production can strengthen the fashion value chain, create new opportunities for designers and manufacturers, and give African fashion greater control over the materials that shape its identity.
