Everything You Need to Know About Lagos Fashion Week
Lagos Fashion Week (LagosFW) is a fashion platform that drives the Nigerian and ultimately, the African fashion industry; by bringing together buyers, consumers and the media to view the current collections of designers at a four (4) day event in the fashion capital of Lagos, Nigeria.
As a leading fashion event on the African fashion calendar, LagosFW leads the way with initiatives that support, strengthens and develop the fashion industry. Beyond the runway, the annual event provides a physical platform that’s gradually repositioning fashion as a useful tool for commerce and creativity in Nigeria.

Lagos, the LagosFW host city is an attraction itself. A metropolitan island that’s home to 17.5 to 20million people, features an interesting mix of people, culture and is fast becoming the melting pot for creative talents and business in Africa.
Participants, designers, and visitors alike can expect a diversified and interactive platform to maximise their exposure within and beyond their industry circle and open gateways for more business opportunities.
We hope to collaborate with LagosFW in 2022 to introduce our readers to this side of the Fashion Industry.
