On Thursday, May 28, 2026, the highly anticipated Ready-To-Wear Masterclass, organised by Dear Fashion Designer, will take place.
This event, according to the organisers, will be live and in-person, with topics to be covered including Fashion Product Life Cycle, Manufacturing for Ready-To-Wear, Fashion Law, Marketing Strategy, Digital Literacy, and 3D Fashion Technology.
These six masterclass features will have experts dissecting the topics, with each session curated to give designers practical, real-world insights, no fluff, just the tools needed to build, scale, and sustain a fashion business in today’s fast-evolving market.
Beyond the learning, attendees will also gain access to valuable networking opportunities, connecting with industry experts and like-minded designers shaping the future of African fashion.
The first edition of the initiative was powerful and successful, with participants speaking glowingly of it.
The debut virtual session had over 200 fashion designers across Africa in attendance, sparking strong testimonials around clarity, growth, and direction.
Coming off the momentum of the Dear Fashion Designer Vision Board Retreat held in January 2026, the brand continues its mission to help designers move from ideas to execution, bridging the gap between creativity and structure in the African fashion industry.
Registration for the programme is available via the link in Sonayon Cadmus’ Instagram bio, and intending participants can get more information via [email protected].
