A Platform for Rising Stars
NSFDW has long been a cornerstone for nurturing young Nigerian design visionaries. This year is no different. Prepare to witness collection unveilings by a new generation of designers, each pushing boundaries and redefining what Nigerian fashion can be.
We are thrilled to bring back the Nigerian Student Fashion and Design Week and provide a platform for young, emerging Nigerian designers to showcase their work.
Over the years, we’ve seen incredible talent rise to prominence through this platform, with notable designers like Hauwa Liman of Afrik Abaya, Bibi Lawrence, Faith Oluwajimi of BLOKE and Vovwe Omoko of Ovem making their mark in the fashion industry.
This event will not only celebrate the talent of emerging designers but also contribute to the growth and development of the Nigerian fashion industry, fostering innovation and creating opportunities for the next generation of fashion entrepreneurs.
