The Venusta Fashion Show is officially gearing up for its highly anticipated 4th edition, following a sold-out atmosphere and over 200 attendees at its last outing. This year’s edition promises more style, more impact, and a breathtaking experience for designers, brands, and fashion enthusiasts.
Produced by Panda Media Entertainment and curated by Mr Michael “ICHIE PANDA” Okolie, Venusta has become a fast growing platform at the intersection of fashion, media, and creative excellence, championing bold African narratives and industry collaboration.
Adding to the excitement, VENUSTA will also unveil the second issue of Venusta Magazine, ushering in a new editorial chapter with Chichebe Dike announced as Editor-in-Chief. The upcoming issue is set to deliver sharper storytelling, elevated visuals, and conversations shaping the future of African fashion.
Speaking on the vision behind the platform, founder Mr Okolie notes, “There is an extraordinary wealth of untapped talent within the African fashion industry, from designers to models and creative storytellers whose voices deserve global visibility. Venusta was created as a platform to amplify these talents, provide meaningful exposure, and celebrate the richness of African culture through art, fashion, and collaboration. Beyond the runway, Venusta is a movement that honours identity, creativity, and the power of African expression.”
In another major reveal, anticipation is building around the Face of Venusta 2026, as the current reigning face, Miss Jessica Ogbulie, prepares to pass the torch. The search for the next face signals Venusta’s continued commitment to celebrating confidence, individuality, and modern African beauty.
With each edition raising the bar, the 4th Venusta Fashion Show is shaping up to be more than a runway, it’s a cultural moment and a strategic platform for brands, sponsors, and partners looking to align with innovation, visibility, and influence within Africa’s fashion ecosystem.
According to the organisers, the event date, venue, call for designers, sponsorship and partnership opportunities will be announced in due course.
