Announcing Uyo Fashion Week 2024

Having held two previous seasons in 2022 and 2023, our 3rd outing promises to be bigger and better!

Uyo Fashion Week 2024 will be a dynamic showcase of the best of fashion, lifestyle, innovation, talent and cultural heritage, perfectly aligning with our tagline – “Creativity, Commercialisation, and Scale.”

This year’s event is particularly significant, as it has the endorsement and support of the Akwa Ibom State Government, and has been scheduled to hold in the Season of the State’s 37th Anniversary celebrations.
