We have had so much to do that we forgot this great event, that took place a few weeks ago. The MTN supported Lagos Fashion Week 2012, was a success in all ramifications. A vast improvement on last year's edition in all department. Kudos to the organizers for a job well-done. It's very obvious that they know what they are doing and what they want and we are so sure that next year's edition is going to be far better and a bigger slam-dunk, than this one.
The occasion had the head fashion reporter and editor of the International Herald Tribune, Suzy Menkes, OBE as a special guest. She was a fantastic soul and so welcoming. For someone of her caliber, who has written over 1.7 Million words in the International Herald Tribune, since 1988 that she's been with them, to be so humble, says so much. She wasn't the only one from across the ocean who graced the showcase, there were others like top British Designer of note, Matthew Williamson who closed the fashion week to very loud ovation and very many others, so many that we cannot name them all.
Many well-known designers had glorious showcases, while many upcoming ones, who are stupendously talented also showcased, and signposted that they were ready to take over from the well-known brands. Most importantly, apart from the gathering of designers, models, fashionistas, artists and guests that converged at the event through the days of the fashion showcase. One major thing we are happy about is that, such fantastic showcases like this helps to bring positive attention the way of Nigeria. We are seen by those who came in from other climes, as very talented people who can rival others from other parts, given little chance.
