ABOUT THE ORGANISATION
AFRICA FASHION WEEK NIGERIA (AFWN) was created by Ms. Ronke Ademiluyi, Our distinct journey as a proudly Nigerian, Proudly African and international brand began about 6 years ago in London. What we started then as a small brand to satisfy a niche, has now gone on to become an award winning and very well recognized brand which is the biggest platform of its kind in Europe showcasing African designers and African inspired fashion. The popularity and success of the Africa Fashion Week London brand was what triggered us to bring the brand home to Nigeria. Africa Fashion Week Nigeria, now in its 3rd has been a memorable and very fulfilling journey. In just a few days, we will not only be celebrating our 3rd year anniversary but it will be yet another Africa Fashion Week from 1st July to 3rd July 2016 with a conference, fashion exhibition and showcase of upcoming and established designers.
Africa Fashion Week London (AFWL) is Europe's largest catwalk event of African and African-inspired design. A collaborative catwalk and exhibition, highlighting the industry’s established and emerged African designers, AFWN is at the forefront of capturing the surge of the African inspired trends in the fashion industry. Our annual event aims to celebrate the work of African and African inspired designers in the UK and worldwide.
