ReplyDeleteIt’s that time of the year again

fashion roll out their eyes in

creativity to satiate their

Nigeria is definitely taking up
centre stage with numerous
shows coming up. The Nigeria
Fashion Week 2012 is here

the world are set to garb
stunning African models in
their own of kind threads and
stitches. The models are also
set to run the way more than
we have ever seen as models
of Nigerian descent around
the world are flying in to
graze this event.
The Nigeria Fashion Week has
continuously provided the
platform for Nigerian
designers to rediscover
themselves and make success
of their creative talents. The
Fashion week has been able to
re-orient Nigerian designers to
look only inward for
inspiration by using locally
made fabrics and accessories
and come up with a range that
has global appeal. It is
opening Africa's biggest
fashion, hair and beauty
market to international
designers and luxury brands
wishing to gain the Nigerian
very large market.
Those expected to participate
includes Fashion designers,
Textile, Garment & leather
products manufacturers,
Makers of wedding garments
and accessories like cakes etc,
Producers of lingerie/under
wears, Jewelleries, wrist
watches, shoes, bags, hats,
Manufacturers of cosmetics,
make-up, hair and skin care
products, Producers of Zips,
buttons, threads, tape rule,
Manufacturers of various
industrial sewing, embroidery,
pressing and cutting machines.
Nigeria Fashion Week has
always featured bold colors,
but this year, just like last
year the focus is on one color
in particular -- green. The
2011 event with the theme
‘going green’ presented 42
designers and 39 exhibitors
from 22 countries. It
attracted both national and
international media. The
highpoint of the week was the
‘going green collection’
where most of the
participating designers
presented special garments
made from recycled materials.
It was to draw awareness to
climate change issues. For the
second time in a roll, Nigeria
Fashion Week will showcase
collection specifically to
create awareness of
environmental issues. The
president of Nigeria Fashion
Week Lexy Mojo-Eyes , said
"The whole world is going
green and that means the
whole world is thinking about
sustaining our environment.
We thought this is our little
contribution. The idea of
Nigeria Fashion Week 'Going
Green' means asking
designers, to use recycled
fashion accessories to be able
to make collections that will
help us project the idea of
going green, to help in
bringing awareness to people
in Nigeria about the
importance of a sustainable
environment."
In a press release, the
organizers points out that
following the success of last
year’s theme, this year’s event
is still tagged ‘going green 2’
in continuation of what was
started last season and
promises to create a bigger
platform for eco-fashion -or
sustainable fashion as it is
also called. More participants
and international media are
expected as well as buyers
from Milan, New York,
Australia and Asia. Nigeria
Fashion Week 2012 ‘going
green 2’ will be declared open
by the President of the World
Fashion Organization, Paco De
Jaimes.
