Siré Kaba and Erratum Fashion: Weaving Cultures, Fashioning Change

Born in Guinea and Belgian by nationality, Siré Kaba moved to Brussels at 16. Living between two cultures—African and European—has deeply shaped her creative vision.

The defining moment came when her eldest daughter asked, “Et nous alors?”—“What about us?”—a question that echoed the absence of Black and mixed-race representation in Belgian society. That spark led Siré to found Erratum Fashion, an ethical brand that celebrates African textiles while producing locally in Belgium. Each piece is crafted in social-integration workshops, blending aesthetics with empowerment and meaning.

Her designs have caught national attention: in 2021, Princess Delphine wore Erratum Fashion for her first official appearance on Belgium’s National Day, and Brussels’ Manneken Pis sported her 1,080th costume, a tribute to diversity.

From her Brussels showroom—part boutique, part cultural salon—Siré creates spaces where difference is celebrated. Named a game changer by the Belgian Fashion Awards and a board member of MAD Brussels, she continues to champion diversity and inclusion. For Siré Kaba, fashion is more than style— It’s about rewriting the narrative, answering her daughter’s question, and reminding us all that there is space for everyone.
