Lagos Fashion Scene

With globally recognized fashion weeks like Lagos Fashion Week and Arise Fashion Week serving as platforms where designers get to showcase their designs, which draws the attention of international fashion press like Vogue, GQ etc and has featured international supermodel and Vogue’s contributing editor Naomi Campbell walking down the runway of Arise Fashion Week, the Lagos fashion scene is arguably the one of the most exciting scenes to be in at the moment..

This growth and energy isn’t limited to just the fashion industry but is spilling over and into the film and music industry with Davido almost selling out the London O2 arena and Wizkid topping the charts and collaborating with some of the biggest names in hip-hop.

Grace Ladoja, manager of fellow British Nigerian, Skepta, and the founder of Metallic Inc, a talent management and media production company spoke on the changing creative scene and the connections the creative feel and are fostering.

It was a cuss to be Nigerian when I was at school. But now people are looking and what they’re finding is so inspiring…It’s about everyone working together and becoming bigger than just one person could be. It’s so creative.
