The countdown is on for one of Africa’s biggest cultural spectacles — Lagos Fashion Week 2025, a five-day fusion of art, culture, and couture that promises to redefine the continent’s creative identity.
Whether you live and breathe fashion or just love the buzz of beautiful things, this is one event you won’t want to miss.
From October 29 to November 2, 2025, the city of Lagos will once again transform into a runway of bold colours, daring designs, and global attention. Over the past 15 years, Lagos Fashion Week has evolved from a local designer showcase into a continental powerhouse, drawing the eyes of international buyers, editors, and style icons.
This year’s edition isn’t just about glamour — it’s about purpose. Under its acclaimed “Green Access” initiative, organisers are spotlighting sustainability, innovation, and ethical production. Young designers are being challenged to rethink materials, waste, and the creative process in ways that protect both the planet and Africa’s heritage.
“Lagos Fashion Week has become more than a show — it’s a movement redefining what African fashion means on the world stage,” said Omoyemi Akerele, the event’s founder and a leading voice for sustainable design across the continent.
The event doubles as a global business hub, offering workshops, masterclasses, and panels on the future of fashion in Africa. Experts from across the world will discuss digital design, fashion-tech, and the evolving role of African creativity in global retail.
According to a UNESCO-backed report, Africa’s fashion industry could triple its market value within the next decade — and Lagos Fashion Week is at the center of that transformation.
