The AFWN launched in 2014, a sister event to the Africa Fashion Week London (AFWL) to enable people showcase their designs.
Ronke Ademiluyi, founder of the AFWN who revealed the show was created in Nigeria to provide a platform for designers who can’t afford to travel to London to showcase their designs maintains the show is to project Africa and her creatives to the world.
“The reason for the move to Nigeria is to reach out to more talented innovative Nigerian designers who do not have a means to travel to London to showcase” Ademiluyi offered referring to the past successful editions of the fashion week as instances.
The fashion event kicks off with the Street Catwalk at The Palms Mall in Victoria Island on 25th June 2016. The business of fashion conference holds on the 1st July, 2016. The second and third days will have back to back Catwalk Shows from upcoming to established designers.
