Founded in 2025
“Ekinken is a love letter to the African Fashion Industry”.
Ekinken is a fashion media organization that showcases and educates about African fashion. We strive to facilitate meaningful discussions about the African fashion industry while promoting brands and individuals who are part of this vibrant sector. We focus on African fashion history, current fashion events, and conversations that contribute to the idea that fashion can bring further economic development to the African continent.
Founded by Meloseri Dumnoi in 2025, the organization is a part of her purpose to transform the economy of the African continent through the education of the social sciences.
Our Mission
The mission is to teach people that African fashion is an art form, how to appreciate it as such, and to foster intellectual conversations about it. We want to bring knowledge to African brands and imprint ourselves in the fashion landscape. We, as Africans, deserve to have our own space dedicated to fashion. We don’t have to wait for the West to recognize us; we recognize us, and that is something that should be viewed as important.
