As the show ends today at the Lagos Continental Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos, 45 designers from between 12 and 14 countries such as South Africa, Botswana, Tanzania, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Germany, Canada, France, Morocco, the United Kingdom, United States, the Caribbean and Nigeria will parade the runway.
Since its inception over a decade ago, ARISE Fashion Week has been adjudged one of the best fashion events to come out of Africa. Famous fashion designers in the continent and the diaspora such as Ozwald Baoteng had dazzled the runway with intricate designs.
With over 40 designers from 14 countries for its fifth edition, Arise Fashion Week is poised to celebrate the most iconic fashion designers in the continent as well as in the diaspora. As part of its commitment to empower fashion entrepreneurs, the organisers launched a life-changing novelty known as the ARISE Fashion Management and Mentoring Programme (AFMMP).
Abaya Lagos, a fashion brand that serves as the melting pot of Asian/Arabian fashion, also dazzled the audience with its cosmopolitan styles of Abayas and kaftans, accentuated by turbans and sunshades.
