Nigerian Fashion Week

New York, London, Milan and Paris - The four major Fashion Capitals as we once knew it, but things are changing. 

Major city's such as Mumbai, Poland, Sao Paulo and Singapore now all hold their own fashion weeks through out the year including Nigeria which comes under African Fashion Week along with Cape Town, Congo, Nairobi and Swahili to name a few. 

This year Nigerian Fashion Week is set to be held in May at the Eko Hotel in Lagos. A chance for African designers to showcase and receive support for their collections which they are no doubt working on endlessly whilst you are reading this, and if last year is anything to go by then we can't wait. 

In 2014, highlights came from Aama A La Mode, Aweyan and Daviva to name a few.

Africa Fashion Week Nigeria or AFWN as it is also known, is now so popular that it takes their shows internationally to London and New York so a greater audience can view its talents. 

AFWN believes in emerging talents and providing a visual platform for them to perform who would not otherwise have the means to gather national and even international attention. Not only are they keen to encourage new talent, they also have the backing and support of already established African designers who work together continuously and tirelessly on the growth of African Fashion, an industry we are proud to support and very much look forward to seeing more of.
