Le Reve Events, the creators behind the hit stage production, Music Meets Runway
(MMR), has announced preparations for this year’s event scheduled to
take place in just a few months at the Eko Hotel Expo Center, Victoria
Island, Lagos.
Music Meets Runway has set a high bar
with not one but two successful shows; fusing haute couture and
buzz-worthy performances from some of the best artistes and upcoming
designers in Nigeria. This third season will be called ‘The MMR Icons Edition’,
this year the team choose to spotlight, recognize and honor the most
amazing and undisputed fashion & music icons that have changed the
industry and put Nigeria proudly on the world map.
“It’s our third year anniversary so we wanted to do something very inspiring, prestigious and glamorous!” says Jennifer Olize, the producer of MMR. “We
want our guests to enjoy every second of the event and leave with a
memorable experience. This season our expectations are high and the bar
will be unparalleled. So expect nothing but the very best!”
Last year was nothing short of spectacular with the gorgeous Tanzanian model, Millen Magese and Oliver Twist crooner D’banj as the hosts of the show.
Upcoming designers in the fashion industry like April by Kunbi, Kimono Kollection, Tiannah Styling, Nkili, Andrea Iyamah, David Bowler, Shakara Couture, Eclectic by Sasha, Rebahia and Moofa to name a few gave us timeless runway looks that we still see on red carpets today. Similarly, Wizkid, Naeto C, D’banj, May-D and Iyanya got the audience on their feet as they performed their hit singles on the MMR stage.
The Iconic designer, Lanre Da Silva Ajayi closed the show with D’banj performing alongside. It was truly an amazing fuse of fashion and music.
Selected guests were invited to the Music Meets Runway Pre-Party sponsored by Ciroc Premium Vodka, which took place two days before the main event and was deemed by attendees as the most entertaining party of the year.
Who will host this season? What artistes
will be performing and which designers will be showcasing their pieces
on the runway? Stay tuned, because the journey has only begun.

Rationale of the Black Panther and the Iron Musical Throne
The Black Panther signifies power, struggle, freedom and empowerment of the black race. MMR 2013 is celebrating music & fashion icons who have been recognized internationally and as such have put us (Nigeria) on the world map. “Panthers” are known for their extra-terrestrial strength and these iconic pioneers are determined men and women who are not only passionate but believe in hard work.
The Iron Throne represents the political
relationship between both fields (fashion and music) metaphorically.
Fashion has always needed music to get to a certain level of acceptance
by the public. And this year, as seen in “The Game Of Thrones“,
MMR is filled with suspense, intrigue and lots of power; the fashion
gurus will literally ride on music to showcase their inherent
creativity.
