What started as a vision in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo is now becoming an international cultural movement reaching the heart of Dubai.
Yuston Nessy, Congolese entrepreneur, creative visionary and founder of The One Fashion Week International, officially becomes one of the first Congolese African creators to organize a Fashion Week experience at Dubai Mall, one of the most iconic luxury destinations in the world.
From Bukavu to Goma, from Goma to Kinshasa and now from Kinshasa to Dubai, the journey represents far more than fashion.
It represents resilience. Vision.Cultural identity.
And the power of African creativity on the global stage.
Over the past years, The One Fashion Week International has grown into one of the most ambitious independent fashion and cultural platforms emerging from Africa, producing international standard runway experiences, media productions and documentary content broadcast across major international platforms.
Today, the movement enters a new dimension.
No longer positioned only as a fashion event, The One Fashion Week International is officially evolving into a global movement for Peace, Unity, Diversity and International Collaboration.
With the launch of Series 6 Episode 1 at Amaya Dubai Mall, overlooking the Burj Khalifa, the platform introduces a new international format where fashion, diplomacy, business, culture and humanitarian impact come together in one ecosystem.
The Dubai edition will welcome:
• Diplomats & Ambassadors
• International Investors
• Luxury Brand Executives
• Influencers & Celebrities
• International Media Organizations
• Entrepreneurs & Business Leaders
• Creatives from different nations and cultures
The experience is designed as a premium networking and cultural platform connecting Africa to the Middle East and the rest of the world.
For Yuston Nessy, this milestone is not only personal success.
It is symbolic.
A symbol that African visions can expand globally.
A symbol that creativity from Congo can reach the world’s largest stages. And a symbol that culture can become a bridge between nations.
“This is not only about fashion anymore,” says Yuston Nessy.
“This is about creating a movement that unites people, cultures and opportunities. We are building something bigger than events. We are building a global platform for the next generation.”
The One Fashion Week International Series will now operate through multiple episodes and international activations throughout the year, each one documented and produced as part of an ongoing global series.
From Africa to Dubai, the movement continues.
And this is only the beginning of a much larger international story.
WE ARE ONE.
