Africa Fashion Week Nigeria promotes the beauty of Africa,
from the creative side of fashion to the business of it. Ronke Ademiluyi founder of AFWN said ‘This
year, we chose someone who embodies the true African woman. A strong, intellectual
and musically inclined woman; her music reflects what's good, what's great and
what's best about the motherland. We
couldn’t have chosen anyone more suitable to be our brand ambassador’.
Known to the world as Mama Africa, but known to us as Yemi Alade.

About AFWL & AFWN
Africa Fashion Week London is the
biggest African-inspired fashion event in Europe at the moment. It has
been running for five successful years. The project has successfully
launched the careers of over 400 young fashion designers of Nigerian
origin in the Diaspora. AFWL discovered, nurtured their careers and shot
them into the limelight, and are ensuring that they stay there for
good.
Having
succeeded in London and seeing that most of the show’s talent finds are
Nigerians, we decided to bring the project home and in May 2014, we
launched Africa Fashion Week Nigeria. It was an explosive success, long awaited and became the most anticipated fashion runway in Nigeria today.
