ApaChi Fashion Week 2026
About the event
ACFW26: THE VAULT7 November 2026 | Youngblood Art Gallery, Cape Town | Doors open at 6PMThe past was never meant to stay buried. Welcome to THE VAULT — the third fashion showcase presented by Apachi New Edition Academy, where fashion becomes a doorway into history, identity, culture and storytelling. This is more than a runway. THE VAULT explores the stories we inherit, the identities we carry and the histories that shape us. Through fashion, models, performance art, visual installations and immersive storytelling, we unlock what has been hidden, forgotten, silenced or overlooked — and bring it into the present. Expect an evening where garments tell stories, models become storytellers, performances challenge the room, and the gallery itself becomes part of the experience. Featuring Apachi New Edition Academy in collaboration with Youngblood Art Gallery and Lamb v Slaughterhouse. Our history. Our identity. Our stories. Our future.Come unlock THE VAULT. ACFW26 — where fashion goes beyond the runway.
