We re-echo our good fortune, and invite you to partake in our annual
revelry of fashion and style.
AFWN, (Africa Fashion Week Nigeria), our unique platform that
celebrates the best of Africa, showcasing her creativity and colours to
the world, bringing about positive vibes of all that’s wonderful,
beautiful, stylish and creative about us, it is 3 years- and we remember
with joy and fondness, warmth in our hearts and glints in our eyes, the
first edition in 2014, when we debuted. It still seems like yesterday.
We are more than joyous that the stable is expanding gradually, from
AFWL (Africa Fashion Week London) going to 6 years now and a colossal
success (already tagged as the biggest platform in Europe for African
inspired fashion), NNTD (Nigeria’s Next Top Designer) our platform that
seeks to encourage creativity amongst student designers hitting the 2nd
year (our last winner went on to win at the Music Meets Runway of 2014
and is right now in the USA building on her fashion career), we are
gradually and more assuredly stamping out footmarks upon the sands of
history by creating a platform for would be economic giants of the
future (in the fashion industry).
This 3rd year edition calls for gratitude, especially to all that have
made the years worthwhile.
This year’s edition of our annual fashion extravaganza is a salute to
creativity and uniqueness, it would be a festival starting from Lagos,
Nigeria as the hub in July of 2016 (AFWN 2016) and climaxing in London
(a renowned world’s fashion capital) at the 6th edition of the AFWL at
the Olympia, West Hall, Kensington.
We are celebrating the best of fashion, with a unique tag ‘Connecting
Africa to the world’ it’s not just about being a big fish here, it’s
about exploiting ones gift and launching it to the world. So we are
connecting Lagos (Africa) to London (Europe/the World).
From Lagos to London, we would feature highly creative and very
talented designers from all over Africa (Ghana, Kenya, South Africa,
Botswana, Uganda, Gambia etc) and the diaspora.
The Lagos event is slated for the Eko Hotel from July 1st- 3rd 2016.
While the London event is slated for Sept, 2016.
All we require from you is your participation as a designer, partner,
sponsor and we invite you to be a part of history.
Created by Nigeria’s own Ronke Ademiluyi, founder of the world
Successful, Africa Fashion Week London.
