Get to know the annual international fashion calendar
The Heineken Lagos Fashion & Design Week wrapped up just day ago as it held on the 26th to 29th October 2016 and a lot of people almost missed it!
LFDW 2016 drew too close before people caught up with the buzz because they have no idea what the fashion calendar looks like! (those who keep up with annual fashion calendar interestingly know the dates so they are never caught unawares).
The Fashion Weeks start yearly internationally while nesting in African countries/Nigeria around October
Every year there's a permanent line up of fashion weeks and around what time (months and days) they hold giving a guide annually for press/style editors, bloggers, buyers and so on to prepare for the upcoming ones.
