African Fashion Law Foundations

African Fashion Law Foundations is a structured micro-credential certification that functions as the formal academic and professional entry point into fashion law education and regulatory practice in Africa.​ The program provides a comprehensive foundational grounding in the legal, regulatory and commercial frameworks governing the African fashion and beauty industries, including intellectual property, contractual structures, trade and customs regulation, textile and labeling standards, sustainability compliance, and emerging issues in fashion technology and digital innovation.

​

It is designed to prepare participants for advanced specialisation, professional certification pathways, regulatory advisory work and academic research in fashion law and related disciplines.

African Fashion Law Career Week

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.

Fashion Law Career Accelerator

This intensive programme combines research and resources to equip participants with the skills and knowledge to lead and innovate within the fashion industry. Participants will explore both substantive legal topics and career-building strategies, including:

  1. An introduction to key concepts in fashion law

  2. Legal writing and publishing in fashion law

  3. Professional development: CV writing, cover letter strategies, and LinkedIn optimisation

  4. Research-based learning through real-world scenarios and peer collaboration

 

By the end of the programme, participants will not only have a deeper understanding of the legal landscape shaping fashion but will also leave with practical tools to position themselves for academic and professional success.
