Nigerian Student Fashion and Design Week Returns After Five Years

The Nigerian Student Fashion and Design Week (NSFDW) is poised for a grand comeback after a five-year hiatus. As Africa’s premier independent platform for showcasing emerging fashion talents and entrepreneurs in Nigeria, this highly anticipated event will take place in November at the prestigious Oriental Hotel in Lagos, Nigeria.

With the theme “Fashion Forward,” NSFDW 2024 aims to showcase the creativity and talent of emerging designers and fashion creatives in the fashion and design industry. The event will feature runway shows, workshops with industry experts, and networking opportunities for aspiring designers, models, and industry professionals.

“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,” said Abiola Orimolade, Founder of NSFDW. “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.”

Nigerian Student Fashion and Design Week 2024 will showcase an array of designs, ranging from couture designs to cutting-edge contemporary streetwear. The event will also spotlight the latest trends in fashion and design, with a strong emphasis on sustainability and ethical practices, underscoring the importance of responsible fashion in shaping the industry’s future.

As is tradition, the event will recognize designers with the most creative and innovative designs, awarding them cash prizes and the opportunity to showcase their collections at Dallas Fashion Week in 2025. This offers winners a global platform to elevate their brands and gain international exposure.

The fashion event is scheduled to be held from 28th to 30th November with a lineup of activities while the grand finale show will be held on the 30th of November at the Oriental Hotel, Lagos.
