The Lusaka Fashion Weekend was founded in 2019 by Emmanuel Muchindu Miyoba, who first debuted with the Copperbelt Fashion Week. Building on that success, he launched the Lusaka Fashion Weekend in 2020 with a clear mission—to promote Zambian designers in tailoring, arts, and fashion.

Since its inception, Lusaka Fashion Weekend has remained dedicated to supporting emerging talent, successfully elevating more than 20 designers into household names within Zambia. Our vision is to create and showcase an authentic Zambian style, taking our nation’s fashion to the international stage while fostering pride in local creativity and craftsmanship.
