Africa Fashion Week Amsterdam has announced that they will dedicate an entire day to the Senior Fashion Show in collaboration with renowned Nigerian contemporary artist, virtual reality curator, and film director Malik Afegbua.
The event will take place in August 2023 and aims to challenge the marginalization of older people in society and alter perceptions around aging. Afegbua's AI-generated images of older-looking models in beautiful clothes caught the attention of Oscar-winning costume designer Ruth Carter, who saw them on social media and appreciated the message behind them.
His vision is to mix traditional African Nigerian fashion with something Afro-futuristic. Afegbua is an unapologetic advocate for the use of AI in art, believing that it can challenge us to create a better real world and a more stylish one for older people.
Africa Fashion Week Amsterdam is proud to feature this talented artist and his work in the upcoming show.
