Who are we?
From ⟦CJSCE1⟧ ⟦⟦to⟧CJSCE2 0⟧, CJSCE grows edition after edition — an emerging platform for African fashion.
Talent today, fashion tomorrow.
The CJSCE — Concours des Jeunes Stylistes et Couturiers Émergents was born from the desire to give real visibility to young designers and to create bridges between talent, training, professionalization and opportunities.
More than a competition, CJSCE is a space for expression, meeting and development for emerging designers, couturiers and designers.
Our ambition is to contribute to the emergence of a generation of professionals capable of carrying their creativity, cultural identity and know-how beyond borders.
Missions
Detect - Train - Enhance - Connect - Bring out.
Vision
To bring out a new generation of stylists and couturiers capable of valuing their creative identity, culture and know-how on the national and international stages.
Make CJSCE a reference platform for the emergence and promotion of African fashion talent.
