Lagos Fashion Week has established itself as the fashion event of the continent. Here are some looks we saw this year.
Following a year where fashion week in Lagos had to go on an unplanned pause — due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Nigerian END SARS protests against police brutality — Africa’s fashion capital has opened its doors once again to welcome global insiders for Lagos Fashion Week 2021.
Regardless of these changes to the flow of Lagos Fashion Week, the event remains, at its core, primarily the same: a platform for designers to showcase their work to a global and local audience. This year, to adapt to the restrictions of COVID-19, Lagos Fashion Week took place in a series of digital showcases, off-site runway presentations, and a physical runway show at the Federal Palace Hotel on Lagos Island from the 27th to 31st of October 2021.
