AFrica Fashion Week Nigeria 2014

The first ever Nigerian edition of the African Fashion Week saw a lot of talented upcoming designers showcasing their best pieces on the catwalk with few established brands supporting them.

The maiden event which held at Eko hotel and suites on Sunday, 18th May was impressive for a first time event; not at all perfect but commendable for a fashion event.

The show was prompt, designers started showcasing as at time scheduled and organization was pretty impressive. The first parts of the show saw upcoming designers showcasing their African inspired pieces.

The gala was the major event of the day where guests came in full force to an array of unending buffet (if we might add), designers also showcased at this time, at a point the event was threatened  by a fire outbreak but it was professionally brought under control and guests were ushered out for a short while and then back in to continue the show.

Designers like Ade Bakare, House Of Marie,  Isi Atagamen, Alabi Couture, Buchiver, Didi Creations, Elegante by Tiannah Styling, Elikem the Tailor, Belois, Magnetic Elegance and many more brought on their A Game.

For a first time fashion event, The Ronke Ademiluyi founded show is commendable, we hope it gets better next year.
