The fashion week which will run for six days straight will feature 50 designers. The finale of the show will host the spectacular ARISE Magazine Fashion Awards. The very best designers picked at the awards will be invited to participate in the annual ARISE Magazine Fashion Gala at the Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week in September 2012.
Last year’s successful fashion week featured 51 designers, 81 models, 5 musical acts with over 5000 guests attending.
At last year’s AMFW 2011 fashion event, SEVEN designers – Lanre Da Silva-Ajayi, Jewel by Lisa, Asibelua, Bunmi Koko, Tsemaye Binitie, Pierre-Antoine Vettorello and KlûK CGDT were given a golden ticket invitation to showcase their designs in September 2011, as part of the Made in Africa by ARISE Magazine Collective at the Avery Fisher Hall, New York.
‘There is a side of Lagos that chimes well with the international fashion scene. We at ARISE Magazine recognise that the city has much to offer in the way of vibrancy and extraordinary talent in abundance making it the cultural capital of Africa. Once more we are proud to be associated with nurturing new designers from the vast continent – and continuing our support of those who are more well-known in Nigeria and in the diaspora’, ARISE Magazine founder Nduka Obaigbena says.
ARISE Magazine launched in 2008 and is Africa’s first global style and culture title.
