AWARD RECIPIENTS FOR AFAM AWARDS 2022
"Winning isn't everything, but it beats anything that comes in second."
-Paul Bryant.
INTRODUCTION
Last year’s AFAM fashion week, Vancouver was graced by the best of the best. African fashion showed up in ways unexpected and blew all of our collective minds. That day, strange names and brands became familiar and familiar names became even more popular for the work that they put in.
A major highlight was also the award ceremony where winners emerged solely based on nominations and votes. To the AFAM Award winners of 2020, congratulations again. 2020 awardees
