Couture offers a window into a multi-billion-euro industry.

FRANCE 24 takes you to check out the runway shows.

    Is Africa the world's next global fashion hub?

    Togo's International Fashion Festival (FIMO), which recently celebrated its tenth anniversary in Lomé, has organised a catwalk show in Paris to promote African fashion. Jacques Logoh, FIMO's founder, is an outspoken advocate of fashion that's designed and produced on the African continent.
