News: Africa Fashion Week London hosts 1st Africa Fashion Week Nigeria

The organizers of Africa Fashion Week London have announced that they will also be hosting the first Africa Fashion Week Nigeria on the May 17 and 18. Already preparations are in full swing for the 4th edition of Africa Fashion Week London (AFWL) on August 7 to 9.

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.

Africa Fashion Week London has also launched The First Reality TV Show For Designers In Nigeria. A magnificent platform for emerging designers, it is a talent hunt show, aimed at bringing together various fashion designers from across the country to showcase the richness of the Nigerian Fashion Culture and fabrics. Hundreds of young designers turned up from different states in Nigeria for the NNTD auditions, where they were narrowed down to 21 contestants who will be going into the NNTD house. The winner goes home with prizes including an all expense paid trip to showcase at AFWL 2014.
