Zimbabwe Fashion Week (ZFW) has officially opened applications for its 2026 model casting, offering aspiring and established models the opportunity to walk one of Africa’s leading fashion platforms.
This year’s edition is themed “SOWN: Rooted in Zimbabwe,” celebrating the country’s creativity, culture and fashion heritage while nurturing talent capable of competing on the global stage.
The casting call marks the beginning of the road to Zimbabwe Fashion Week 2026, with organisers inviting confident, disciplined and passionate individuals from across the country to apply. Successful applicants will gain valuable industry exposure by working alongside leading designers, photographers, stylists, makeup artists and other fashion professionals.
Over the years, Zimbabwe Fashion Week has served as a launchpad for emerging talent, with many models going on to build successful careers across Africa and beyond. Beyond the runway, the event continues to promote collaboration, business development and international opportunities for Zimbabwe’s growing fashion industry.
The 2026 showcase is expected to feature runway presentations, industry conversations, networking opportunities and initiatives connecting designers with buyers, media and fashion entrepreneurs.

Good morning
I’m interested
My name is Lisa Mhangami. I’m 24, 1.70m tall, and I live for the runway.
Fashion to me is confidence made visible.
I’ve walked in pageants and runway shows, including Laita Bridal Wear, where I learned how to own the stage and tell a story in every step.
With a fairly light complexion, 26″ waist and 36″ hips, I bring elegance, energy, and adaptability to any designer’s vision.
I’m ready to walk, inspire, and bring your collection to life.
Dear Lisa, please find attached the model application link.
