Fans can expect a curated selection of the city’s leading vendors including fashion enterprises, designers, photographers, stylists, models, and art directors.
There will also be music. The artist line up includes British rapper-singer IAMDDB. IAMDDB is a UK rapper and singer from Manchester. Her music is a blend of soulful hip-hop, pounding trap and swirling urban jazz.

She will be supported by Kenyan talent such as Karun, Wanja Wohoro, and DJs such as Mix Master Lenny, TAIO and Shishi.
Coinciding with the 4th year milestone will be an all curated Thrift Store and a Vitimbi fashion installation by one of the founders of Thrift Social, Oliver Asike. Vitimbi is his first fashion brand and it upcycles second hand clothing and recycled fabrics to make new garments.
