Lagos Fashion Week

Lagos Fashion Week (LagosFW) is a multi-day fashion week held in Lagos, Nigeria and founded in 2011 by Omoyemi Akerele. LagosFW provides a platform for African designers to present their collections to buyers, media and fashion enthusiasts through the platform’s initiatives.

Lagos Fashion Week has also expanded its scope of work by creating two main platforms that run concurrently with fashion week - Fashion Business Series, Fashion Focus Africa, Fashion Focus Fund and Lagos Fashion Week Presents. Fashion Focus Africa offers industry master classes and Fashion Focus Fund provides incubation support for emerging talents across the continent. Through Fashion Business Series, LagosFW advocates for support for the industry from the private as well as public sector.

Lagos Fashion Week (LagosFW) is a fashion platform that drives the Nigerian and ultimately, the African fashion industry; by bringing together buyers, consumers and the media to view the current collections of designers at a four (4) day event in the fashion capital of Lagos, Nigeria.

As LagosFW celebrates it's tenth year, the platform has solidified it's place as a leading fashion event on the African fashion calendar with initiatives that supports, strengthens and develops the fashion industry. Beyond the runway, the annual event provides a physical platform that’s gradually repositioning fashion as a useful tool for commerce and creativity on the continent.
