Through an variety of activities, organizers intend to promote a creative Togo, a unique occasion where fashion, music, cultures, arts and promotion of health are mixed up to strengthen the dynamics of cultural industries.

Justifying the correlation between Fashion and Health, the promoter indicated that both concepts have a common point: quality.
