You already know how big Fashion Week is in New York, Milan and Paris. But from October 23 to 27, all eyes were on Nigeria as celebrities, influencers and designers came together for Lagos Fashion Week. The week was packed with fashion shows from top Nigerian designers, networking events, panel discussions and of course, after parties.
Creativity and color were everywhere. Here are some of our favorite looks from Lagos Fashion Week.
