With preparations already in full swing for the 4th
edition of Africa Fashion Week London (AFWL) on the 7th-9th
August, the organizers of Africa Fashion Week London have announced that they will also be hosting the first Africa
Fashion Week Nigeria on the 17th & 18th of May At The Intercontinental Hotels
Established in 2011, AFWL was borne out of the
urgent need to support young and emerging African inspired designers in the UK
and globally providing them with a professional and affordable showcasing
platform that enables them to create awareness, visibility and exposure for
themselves, a platform that celebrates their own kind of fashion sense and
themes.
The event is fast becoming the biggest African inspired fashion event in
the UK, combining runway and fashion exhibition shows in three days of
perfectly paced illuminating expos. AFWL as a platform has hosted the creations
of over 200 African and African inspired designers from across the African
continent and the Diaspora.
