Africa’s fashion industry is rapidly growing to meet local and international demands but a lack of adequate investment still limits its full potential, Unesco said Thursday (Oct 26) in its new report released at this year’s Lagos Fashion Week show.
Currently valued at US$15.5bil (RM74.01bil) worth of exports annually, the earnings from the continent's fashion industry could triple over a decade with the right investment and infrastructure, according to Unesco director-general Audrey Azoulay.
