Africa Fashion Week Nigeria (AFWN) is a leading fashion platform for African designers to showcase their creativity and innovative designs internationally. AFWN is committed to promoting Nigerian and African fashion brands as a social enterprise by enhancing their global visibility and facilitating access to distribution and manufacturing opportunities. The platform also fosters connections between up-and-coming creatives, established designers, and key industry stakeholders.
The theme for the year (2018) was “African Heritage Arise,” showcasing contemporary and versatile pieces that highlighted African culture and heritage. The event attracted over 60 designers from various African countries, including Namibia, Zimbabwe, Zambia, the Republic of Congo, Botswana, Cameroon, India, the UK, and Nigeria.
