Heineken Lagos Fashion Week is officially set to return from October 26th to October 30th, 2022. This season, collaboration, co-creation, and community remain the driving forces as LFW refreshes the focus with a continued resolve to demonstrate commitment to funding, capacity building across retail and manufacturing, navigating the circular economy, and education.

Kicking off this year’s activity-filled calendar was the Press Cocktail held at Art Hotel to mark the beginning of a lineup of activities which includes XRetail in partnership with Zinkata, Folklore Connect, Lagos Fashion Week Swap Shop, Workshops for women-owned businesses with Sunlight Nigeria, FBS with Crossboundary, runway shows (onsite and offsite), presentations, and after parties.

Lagos Fashion Week will embrace a hybrid model featuring digital and in-person runway presentations. Designers, fashion buyers, consumers, and media from across the continent and beyond will reunite once again to view the new season’s collections of fresh talents such as Ajobi, Gëto, Orire, BABAYO, Pepperrow, and more. In addition, there will be digital shows highlighting rising talents from across Africa as well as featuring a distinct exhibition of the selected designers’ collections.

Since its inception, Lagos Fashion Week has been instrumental in facilitating impact-driven conversations with key stakeholders. This year, the event, in collaboration with Crossboundary, will feature a diverse panel of experts who will gather for an intimate discussion on financing the African fashion industry on the 27th of October.

Continuing its ongoing commitment to facilitating new conversations and exchange of ideas surrounding sustainability in fashion in Nigeria and Africa, Lagos Fashion Week will host Swap Shop with Global Fashion Exchange from the 27th to the 29th of October.
