ABOUT THE FASHION LAW INSTITUTE AFRICA (FLIA)

SHAPING. EDUCATING. GUIDING. INSPIRING.

Africa's fashion industry is undergoing a breathtaking surge, positioning itself as a force to be reckoned with on the global stage. However, amidst this exhilarating growth, a disconcerting reality persists: it remains one of the least regulated industries worldwide. Unlike its counterparts in other regions, Africa's fashion industry lacks comprehensive legal frameworks, leaving designers, manufacturers, and consumers vulnerable and unprotected.

​

Recognising this urgent need to bridge the gap between law and fashion, the Fashion Law Institute Africa (FLIA) emerges as a game-changer, aiming to bridge the gap between the fashion industry and the legal profession. FLIA stands as a beacon of hope, empowering industry stakeholders with education, training, and unwavering advocacy. With a fervent commitment to advancing the understanding of legal issues that impact Africa's fashion industry, FLIA strives to safeguard its growth, integrity, and the rights of all involved.

​

Our aim is to revolutionise Africa's fashion industry through education and policy initiatives, to ensure a vibrant fashion ecosystem that thrives under the protection of robust and equitable laws.
