African Fashion Curricula specializing in Garment + Accessory Making and Creative Entrepreneurship. Est. by ONEOFEACH

About us

With over 40 years of cumulative experience, Pauline and Tamburai Chirume have developed The African Academy of Fashion, an academy that focuses on practical and hands-on training using the African Fashion Curriculum, a first of its kind, to equip participants with the fundamental principles, techniques, knowledge, and a set of start-up tools that will enable them to utilize the rewarding skills of constructing garments and accessories from start to finish. The program, specifically designed for young women (under the age of 40) from underserved communities, will improve and extend the provision of high-quality learning opportunities in order to diversify the South African fashion industry - making it more inclusive. It also enables better anticipated current and future skills needed in the textile, clothing and fashion sector. We have trained over 100 women since 2019 and helped to place 60% of them in employment in the fashion industry.
