Legendary fashion show makes a spectacular comeback

Due to popular demand, ARISE Fashion Week (AFW 2018) will return from March 30 to April 2 at the Lagos Continental Hotel.

11 years ago, Africa's fashion industry became truly global with the birth of ARISE, the synonym for "Africa Rising". ARISE Fashion Week helped to put Nigeria firmly on the global fashion map, showcasing and promoting African designers on the runways of the world, from London's famous Royal Albert Hall, to Washington DC's Kennedy Center, to the legendary triple appearance during New York's iconic Fashion Week, to Lagos, to Johannesburg, to Cape Town and Paris.

The AFW runway has seen global fashion icons and leading models such as Naomi Campbell, Alek Wek, Liya Kedebe, Oluchi Orlandi, Grace Bol, Georgie Badiel, Millen Magese, showcase the best of Africa.

The event has also seen internationally acclaimed designers such as Gavin Rajah, Oswald Boateng, David Tlale, LaQuan Smith, Lanre DaSilva, DEOLA, Jewel By Lisa, Ituen Basi, Odion Mimonet and more fly the African flag.
