About WFE
About the World Fashion Exhibition®
World Fashion Exhibition® (WFE) is a global initiative that presents sustainable eco-couture masterpieces created by leading designers from over 80 countries. Each outfit is crafted using organic and environmentally conscious materials, showcasing a vision of beauty with purpose.
Give Your lIght to the World - Africa is No2
Under the theme “Give Your Light to the World – Africa is Now,” WFE raises awareness for a sustainable fashion industry while actively supporting efforts to end preventable child mortality and Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) in Africa through the empowerment of women and children.
All exhibited couture pieces are donated, with proceeds supporting humanitarian programs, including micro-finance, education, and access to clean water through air-to-water generation technology.
A Preventable Crisis
Despite significant progress, child mortality remains a pressing issue:
- 4.8 million children under the age of five died in 2023, with nearly half of these deaths occurring in the first month of life .
- The leading causes include preterm birth complications, pneumonia, birth asphyxia, congenital anomalies, diarrhoea, and malaria.
- Sub-Saharan Africa and Southern Asia account for more than 80% of these deaths, highlighting significant regional disparities .
These deaths are largely preventable through access to basic healthcare, nutrition, clean water, and sanitation.
About Us
Clean Water: A Fundamental Need
Access to clean water is critical in preventing child mortality:
- Contaminated water and poor sanitation contribute to diseases like diarrhoea, which is a leading cause of death among children under five.
- Innovative solutions, such as air-to-water generation technology, can provide safe drinking water in areas lacking traditional water infrastructure, reducing the incidence of waterborne diseases.
A Global Stage for Impact
From Victoria Falls tp the glaciers of Patagonia to Times Square in New York, the World Fashion Exhibition® brings together designers, governments, celebrities, and media to shine a light on urgent humanitarian and environmental issues through the universal language of fashion.

By joining the World Fashion Exhibition®, designers amplify their voice on a global stage and align their work with purpose.
