The MTN Lagos Fashion and Design Week (LFDW)
will take place in October 2012. In addition to showcasing the best of
the Spring/Summer 2013 collections from Nigeria’s premier designers, the
week will once again present The MTN LFDW Awards where cash awards will
be given to the Young Designer of the Year, Young Creative Entrepreneur of The Year and the Young Model of The Year.
With the success of last year’s events
still fresh in everyone’s minds, the MTN LFDW team couldn’t wait to
start the journey to this year’s LFDW! Travelling to different parts of
Nigeria to screen candidates for each category played a huge role in
setting LFDW apart from other fashion events. This year, judges
travelled the country again looking for the future stars of the fashion
industry. Port Harcourt, the Treasure Base City, was host to the first
screenings.
Held at the Le Meridien, Ogeyi Place on
the 8th of August, the city welcomed the team with open arms. The LFDW
Port Harcourt judges included Akpos Okudu, a MTN Lagos Fashion & Design Week 2011 finalist; Ijeoma Arugba from British Council; Kester Osahenye from MTN and Wadami Amolegbe of HauTeFashionAfrica.com.
