The organisers of the Africa Fashion Week Nigeria have named Big Brother stars, Pokello and Elikem, as its new ambassadors. They say the event, scheduled to take place in May at the Intercontinental Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos, will provide equal opportunities for emerging and top fashion designers.
They add that it will also create a platform that will help promote African fashion as well as its potentials.
“The event aims to bind emerging talents in the fashion industry, connect them to the right people, showcase them to their customers and provide them with a platform to grow and create awareness. Interested participants can register on our websitewww.africafashionweeknigeria.com,” says AFWN founder, Ronke Ademiluyi .
The two-day event will have patrons like Chief Molade Okoya-Thomas, Hon. Abike Dabiri, Senator Daisy Danjuma and Mrs. Folorunsho Alakija in attendance.
Also, fashion lovers, celebrities, fabric manufacturers, printers, jewellers, models, make-up artistes, buyers and potential designers are expected to grace the event
This platform which celebrates and supports African creativity was last held in London in 2011 and had over 100 UK and non-UK designers showcase their collections.
The ceremony this year will be wrapped-up with a gala fashion show by veteran fashion designer Hajia Abba Folawiyo .
