The Legacy Collection, set to debut at Milan Fashion Week at Villa Erba on 1 March, draws inspiration from the 1960s, linking the bank’s early years with its present trajectory.
The Frontline Collection, which will be showcased in Paris on 9 March, reimagines African Bank’s staff uniforms with elements such as Ankara prints, West African-inspired knitwear, and head wrap accessories.
The partnership has contributed to the expansion of Khosi Nkosi’s team, which has grown from four to 40 people within a year.
The design process integrated elements from African Bank’s corporate identity, incorporating selected graphics, custom palettes, and knitwear into the collections.
Beyond fashion, the collaboration aligns with African Bank’s efforts to support small businesses and promote local talent on an international scale.
According to Edna Montse, group executive of transformation and sustainability, the initiative reinforces the bank’s role in fostering economic growth and expanding opportunities for African designers.
African Bank’s presence at Milan and Paris Fashion Weeks marks an unconventional approach to brand positioning within the financial sector.
