In a world of noise and overstated ambition, Prince Kamari Ademiluyi stands apart driven yet discrete, grounded yet global. With a presence that is calm yet commanding, and a smooth smile that signals both assurance and cultural pride, he moves through rooms not with bravado, but with purpose. A man deeply rooted in identity, heritage, and legacy and using those roots to build global bridges.
As Co-Founder of Africa Fashion Week London (AFWL) and Founder of the UK Africa Trade Expo (UKATE), Prince Kamari operates at the intersection of fashion, culture, and commerce, helping shape the narrative of Africa’s contribution to the world economy and creative industries. A man who has explored the very belly of Africa's creativity in order to give birth to a game changing experience, not just as a professional, a thought leader but as an historical and cultural boomerang such as AFW.
AFRICA FASHION WEEK LONDON : Where Africa Meets the World
Founded in 2011 alongside his sister, Her Royal Majesty Queen Ronke Ademiluyi-Ogunwusi, Africa Fashion Week London (AFWL) is now Europe’s largest and longest-running platform dedicated to African fashion, design, and heritage.
With over 1,500 designers and exhibitors showcased since inception, AFWL has become an essential platform for African designers both from the continent and the diaspora to shine on an international stage and now we are celebrating Greatness: AFWL 9th & 10th August 2025 and the Cultural Legacy of Prince Kamari Ademiluyi.

Join this incredible event on the 9th and 10th of August 2025 at Space House, 1 Kemble Street, London , a short walk from Holborn station for two iconic days of fashion exhibitions and catwalk shows that promise to capture the soul of Africa through fabric, music, movement, and design.

UKATE: A Bridge Between African Enterprise and UK Investment
While AFWL celebrates the creative economy, Prince Kamari’s other venture, the UK Africa Trade Expo (UKATE), focuses on unlocking African business potential through global capital and collaboration.
Launched three years ago, UKATE is a premier business and investment platform connecting African MSMEs and high-growth enterprises with UK-based investors, family offices, and corporate partners.
UKATE operates with intention and precision:
Curated deal-flow of vetted, investment-ready businesses from African embassies and economic agencies
Direct access to UK investors, VCs, and trade representatives
A focus on results-driven networking, structured finance, and sustainable partnerships
Legacy in Motion
What defines Prince Kamari Ademiluyi isn’t just the scale of his achievements but the elegance of his vision. He is a man comfortable in who he is and confident in what he represents: a modern-day custodian of African excellence, quietly and powerfully building bridges between culture and commerce, style and substance, Africa and the world.
As Africa continues to rise on the global stage, leaders like Prince Kamari are not only shaping the future — they are defining how that future is experienced, celebrated, and invested in.
AFWL is more than a two day platform, it's a chance to carry the legacy of what it stands for, with you, to hopefully inspire, encourage, influence you to find that cultural diva inside of you. In a world that still often tries to shut down the inner beauty of the soul, trying to drive us into the pit of conformity, AFWL wants you to become your own symbolic ROAR of cultural freedom and expression. So step into the vision, celebrate the culture and allow your inner visionary to bask in the energy of two days of pure, synergetic creativity, fashion art and expression.
