Part 4/6:
This year's themes included a focus on heritage fabrics and designs. For instance, designer Sakya showcased a collection made from Rafia—a fabric originating from Congo that is steeped in tradition. Sakya expressed a desire to introduce this material to younger generations, connecting them to their ancestral roots through fashion. "We want to bring something new into it and give a chance to young people to wear Rafia because it's their heritage," he remarked.
