Lagos, the Nigeria’s sprawling metropolis, home to around 24 million is fast becoming a Couture powerhouse. Designers and celebrities recently showed on the AMVCA Red Carpet why this city should take its rightful place at the fashion table.
The only word coming to mind is “Startling”. Breathtaking creations transcending certain Aesthetics pushing boundaries of what a fashion designer would dream to create. As corporate bottom lines dictate creative choices at major Western houses, this diverse African nation is now a breath of fresh air scented with vivid pomp. Authentic, confident looks, reflecting a society readying itself for the global runway. A certain lavish ceremony in New York City should take a class from Lagos on the definition of groundbreaking fashion.
