Contemporary African luxury fashion took centre stage in London as designer, serial entrepreneur and Creative Director Esther Olorunfemi, popularly known as Estree (@estree16), made a definitive mark at the 16th edition of Africa Fashion Week London (AFWL).
Representing her flagship fashion brand, House of Estree (@houseofestree), the UK-based Nigerian creative delivered a dual-impact presentation, unveiling a striking 12-look collection on the main runway while simultaneously maintaining a strong presence on the AFWL exhibition floor.
The highlight of the event came as House of Estree debuted its latest 12-look collection before an international audience of fashion critics, global buyers, diaspora leaders and style enthusiasts.
The showcase also placed the spotlight on KOWRI, Estree’s newly launched activewear brand, which was strongly represented on the AFWL runway.
For its AFWL 2026 presentation, House of Estree showcased the versatility of Ankara, transforming the vibrant African fabric into a range of contemporary silhouettes. Rather than limiting African textiles to traditional styles, the collection reimagined Ankara through modern tailoring, with pieces including structured jackets, belted outerwear, tailored trousers and other contemporary menswear and womenswear designs.
