Lagos Fashion Week kicked off once again last week cementing its position as a platform for Pan-African designers. Brands from across the continent came to the Nigerian metropolis to present their Spring/Summer 2025 collections, including Boyedoe and Ajabeng from Ghana, Lilabare from Kenya and Loza Maléombho from Côte D’Ivoire. The five-day event, which ran from 23 to 27 October, had nearly 4,000 people in attendance and over 60 designers on its schedule.
