The annual event which showcases the creativity and ingenuity of Nigerian fashion designers, has since inception in 2002 been re-orienting Nigerian designers to look inward for inspiration by using locally made fabrics and accessories in their production line. This has resulted in opening Africa’s largest fashion market to international designers and luxury brands wishing to take advantage therein.
