Online off-price giant YOOX<\/a><\/span> is launching Africa-focused collections for its in-house brand 8 By Yoox, which is powered by AI.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The series of capsule collections is called Tales of Africa and forms part of Yoox Net-A-Porter<\/a><\/span>'s 2030 sustainability strategy. The capsules will be created by six designers from the African continent and are meant to combine \"local know-how with the aesthetics of 8 by YOOX\".<\/p>\n

The project was created in partnership with Lago54, a European agency dedicated to promoting exclusively African fashion designers.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
