Submission Guidelines
Pitch to Afro Fashion Magazine
We welcome pitches from writers, photographers, stylists, and designers who share our passion for African fashion and culture.
What We're Looking For
Afro Fashion Magazine publishes 12 issues per year across digital and print formats. We wellcome original features, profiles, essays, photo essays, and trend reports from contributors worldwide.
We are particularly interested in stories that centre African designers, models, and creatives — stories that have not been told, perspectives that are underrepresented, and work that challenges the mainstream fashion narrative.
Fashion Features
In-depth profiles of designers, trend analysis, runway reviews, and style essays. Typically 800–2,000 words.
Photo Essays
Original photography projects exploring African fashion, identity, and culture. We accept both editorial and documentary approaches.
Culture & Opinion
Essays and opinion pieces on the intersection of fashion with politics, identity, history, and society. 600–1,500 words.
Designer Profiles
Intimate portraits of emerging and established African designers. We prioritise voices not yet covered by mainstream fashion media.
Beauty & Lifestyle
Beauty features, wellness stories, and lifestyle content rooted in African culture and tradition.
Street Style
Street photography and style documentation from cities across Africa and the diaspora.
