The Creative Influencer Award celebrates outstanding individuals and organizations in the creative industry. These individuals and organizations are leaders behind successful brands and also work tirelessly behind the scenes on major creative projects in fashion and arts. 

"54 Kingdoms is honored to be one of the first creative companies to receive this prestigious award in the USA.

"We are able to impact the African narrative, which we believe goes beyond just the aesthetic when it comes to fashion."

In the last decade, 54 Kingdoms has emerged as a thought leader and sparked a new school of thought in the fashion & design industry, by creating a blueprint on how to tell stories through fashion by integrating evolving fashion trends with Pan-African history, symbols and culture. Through its annual Storytellers In Fashion™ event, 54 Kingdoms strengthens the Pan-African community through education to attain cultural retention, while motivating emerging designers to look beyond textiles for artistic inspiration.
