There was glamour, creativity, joy and excitement when Africa Fashion Week Nigeria (AFWN) marked its 10th anniversary in partnership with Sterling Bank, during which exquisite and elegant creative fashion designs were showcased on the runway.
The AFWN milestone edition had the theme, “African Fashion and Economic Impact on Art, Music, Film and Technology” and held at the iconic Oriental Hotel, Lagos.
For three days, emerging designers participated in a design competition, which was won by Adesua Ella Impens of Lambert Fashion. Her prize is a Staycation at KAP Academy, to be sponsored by Sterling Bank. She also got an all-expenses paid trip to showcase at the 2025 Africa Fashion Week London, to be held later in the forthcoming year.
Sterling Bank’s partnership with AFWN was a demonstration of its commitment to supporting Nigerian businesses and the economy.
In her remarks, Founder of Africa Fashion Week Nigeria and AFWLondon, Queen Ronke’ Ademiluyi Ogunwusi, said: “The competition is part of AFWN’s ongoing mission to spotlight and nurture fresh talent, giving young African designers a global platform to showcase their work.”
The creme de la creme of the society attended event.
