Ankara Festival Los Angeles (“AFLA”) is one of the largest and most diverse African Fashion and Music events on the West Coast. It is a celebration of fashion designers and individuals of all races who embraced the use of traditional African material for contemporary fashion. It is an event that provides the “Original African” experience. 

AFLA brings together a host of Designers, Models, Exhibitors and discerning guests to a truly unique and intimate event. AFLA has been in the forefront by providing a platform for both upcoming and established afrocentric and contemporary designers, as well as being a voice for charity.

The logo embodies the spirit/aura of the festival, which is ‘ankara’ and ‘Africa’. The brand name is reshaped to form an abstract shape of the map of africa, the colors are carefully chosen to depict diversity without conflicting each other, and african patterns are added to give each letter that ankara feel.
