This year, the event is slated to hold from October 23 to October 26, 2019, at the Federal Palace Hotel, Lagos, Nigeria.
The Heineken Lagos Fashion Week is a platform that drives the Nigerian and ultimately the African fashion industry, by bringing together buyers, consumers and the media to view the latest collections of top African designers at a 4-day event in Lagos, Nigeria. Over the years, the event has attracted the best and most talented designers across Nigeria, giving them a wider reach by projecting them to the rest of the world.
Starting off in 2012, the event has grown to include the Fashion Business Series, the Visual Makers Fellowship, Fashion Focus Africa and Green Access, which are talent discovery opportunities; alongside its signature runway shows, presentations and the Heineken Live Your Music after party.
Speaking on this year’s Heineken Lagos Fashion Week, Marketing Director, Nigerian Breweries Plc, Emmanuel Oriakhi says that, every year, many people travel down to Lagos just to witness this spectacle of African fashion and Heineken is always excited to deliver a well-designed experience. He continued stating that; “Lagos Fashion Week has always provided an avenue for Heineken to connect with its consumers. With unmatched experiences every year, we on the Heineken team are sure that this year will be no exception.”
Heineken has a long history of hosting key events across sports, fashion, music, film, and many other aspects of pop culture. The brand often stands itself out with its consumer-centric delivery of these events and has done that over the years in Nigeria, through the Lagos Fashion Week and UEFA Champions League sponsorships.
Last year, designers such as Orange Culture, Meena, Ugo Monye, Tokyo James, Mai Atafo, Gozel Green, and Adama Paris, all had their outfits on the runway; with stars like Seyi Shay, BamBam and Tobi Bakre of Big Brother Naija fame all walking the runway.
