The Destinations Podcast With Elleyne Aldine: Breaking Fashion Rules with Koya Nyangi: From Resilience to the African Creators Festival

Episode Summary

What happens when your dream event collapses weeks before launch? For cultural producer, stylist, and creative director Koya Nyanyi, it became the spark for something bigger — the African Creators Festival, now a global celebration of African innovation. In this inspiring conversation, Koya shares: * How she turned a cancelled partnership into a community-led fashion show. * Why fashion is more than clothes — it’s wearable art and storytelling. * The power of curiosity, experimentation, and “f*ing it up a little” in style and in life. * How African designers are redefining sustainability with deadstock denim and zero-waste fashion. * Why collaboration across cultures is essential for creativity and resilience.

You don’t have to choose a side.

You are the bridge. The blueprint.

You were made to forge the future.
