After a desert adventure in Tozeur, Tunis Fashion Week returns to Carthage! Since its debut in 2009, TFW FW has won critical acclaim for encouraging emerging designers, pushing fashion boundaries, and preserving artisanal techniques and talents. With runway shows, talks, installations, and collaborations, this event has become a must-have on the fashion calendar.

This year, the magnificent Carthage Museum stole the spotlight, offering a breathtaking coastal backdrop to a fashion week united under the slogan “TOGETHER FOR A CLEAN OCEAN.” TFW teamed up with SEAQUAL INITIATIVE, a community dedicated to ocean conservation, raising awareness about marine pollution, and highlighting those fighting the battle. The brand OUTA turned waste collected from cleaning stations in the Sea of Kerkennah into 100% recycled plastic denim fabric, leading the charge for sustainability in the country.

While menswear still fights for its place in a predominantly womenswear-dominated calendar, it’s refreshing to see the brave few brands taking risks with unconventional designs and vibrant colors. In a country where men’s fashion tends to be conservative, these collections serve as a powerful statement of change and creativity. Designers fearlessly experiment and express themselves, adding a touch of European trends to the mix.

One standout brand is JOCA, a Tunisian eyewear sensation that pushes boundaries with innovative shapes and vibrant colors, creating frames that reflect the wearer’s unique personality. Youssef Allani wowed the audience with a vibrant collection of shirts featuring bold colors and eye-catching prints. Haroun Ghanmi fearlessly explored new materials and techniques, showcasing his creativity and passion for art through his brand ANOMALIES. And let’s not forget Achraf Baccouch, who closed the show with exquisite tailoring and unconventional fabrics, injecting a burst of color and audacity into classical menswear.
