Lagos Fashion and Design
Week(LFDW) has become one of the must attend fashion events on the African
continent. A destination event for many fashion lovers and entrepreneurs across
several cities from Accra, Abidjan, Johannesburg, Capetown, Paris, London etc.
The event ground at the Federal Hotel, where I stayed during the
period was packed with stylists, fashion bloggers, editors, media
personalities, fashion entrepreneurs for the purposes of street style,
interviews, networking and meeting designers behind the brand.
We arrived there on
Thursday hoping to attend the Fashion Business Seminar but missed it as we got
in late. However, we attended the fashion shows on Day 2 on Thursday, Day 3 on
Friday and the final Day 4 on Saturday.
The fashion week span for 4 days with Maki Oh having a presentation at Alara Lagos Concept Shop on the 3rd day after the runway show on Friday.
Interestingly, I ran into several other
Ghanaian fashion lovers there as well who were equally there for several other
reasons.
Sadly, only Ghana based
fashion brand Studio 189 showcased at the LFDW 2016 as had been the case in
the previous years even though there have been some applications from designers
from Ghana. Does it mean, designers from Ghana do not merit such platform or is there another reason I am not privy to.
It’s my fervent wish that
our Ghana’s Fashion Weeks will see the light of the day as the organisers will
begin to learn from these events from and focus more on the business side of fashion
shows by attracting the right organizations, individuals and partners to their
events.
