SAN FRANCISCO - EntSun -- The African Arts Academy proudly presents SF MODEFA 2025 (San Francisco Modern Ethnic Fashion Week), an extraordinary charity gala taking place on Sunday, June 15, 2025, from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM at Saint Mary's Cathedral. This landmark event coincides with Father's Day and celebrates both Juneteenth and International Ethnic Day, highlighting tradition, innovation, and global unity through fashion, music, food, and storytelling.

The evening features a runway show of ethnically inspired haute couture by international designers, immersive art exhibitions, and exotic Nigerian cuisine by Chef Dinnis Itua, offering a dynamic cultural experience.
"This event is more than a fashion show—it's a tribute to cultural heritage and humanity," says Leye Martin (Fely Tchaco), President and Executive Director of African Arts Academy. "SF MODEFA celebrates cultural justice, sustainability, and world peace through creativity."
