Rooted in the belief that fashion is both a cultural expression and a powerful driver of economic growth, the initiative provides emerging and established designers with the tools, resources, and global networks needed to thrive in today’s competitive market.

Launched in partnership with the National Arts Council of Botswana and Alliance Française de Gaborone and supported by the French Embassy in Botswana, Création Botswana is part of a broader cultural collaboration to foster sustainable development through the creative industries in Africa.

Our program focuses on business skills development, creative mentorship, international exposure, and market access for fashion professionals across Botswana. By connecting local talent with global expertise, Création Botswana champions fashion as a key sector for economic diversification and creative excellence.

With a mission to strengthen fashion business development in Botswana, we are helping support a generation of design entrepreneurs who are shaping the future of Botswana’s fashion ecosystem; locally, regionally, and internationally.
