Release Of The Black Panther Sequel
While this one may not be a directly related fashion event, the first Black Panther movie got a whole lot of traction and interest in African fashion, and the release of the sequel is only going to be a large platform for the boost of traditional African clothing and the integration of the same on runway trends!

More Phygital Fashion Weeks
If there’s anything good in fashion when it comes to the new, more digital normal, it has to be the fast-tracked and better access to runway shows thanks to the Phygital format of fashion weeks across the globe. This is expected to continue well into 2022 with an already upcoming edition of the FDCI X Lakmé Fashion Week. All we need to do is log onto the internet and enjoy all the shows from the comfort and safety of our homes and in real-time.
