Fashion is among the fastest growing creative and commercial sectors across Africa. Brands are scaling faster than the legal frameworks, institutions, and professional pathways designed to support them. Yet the legal work that underpins these industries remains poorly understood, under taught, and often invisible.​ The African Fashion Law Career Week (AFLCW) exists to address that gap. In many African countries, there is no formal pathway into fashion law. Law faculties do not teach it as a distinct discipline. Law firms rarely advertise roles under this label. In house legal teams within fashion brands are still emerging. As a result, students, young lawyers, and career switchers are left to piece together fragmented information, often relying on narratives developed for markets that operate under very different legal, economic, and institutional conditions. This initiative is designed to provide clarity for students and lawyers seeking to for pathways to navigate a career in fashion law in Africa.
