Spread the love


The fashion icon and designer of Nigerian Agbani Darego’s evening gown at the epoch making Miss World Pageant, Frank Osodi, is set to work with Best of the World(B.O.W), Standards Organization of Nigeria(S.O.N) and other industry stakeholders to rebrand Nigerian fashion for the export market.
Speaking at the Second Advisory Board Meeting of Fashion and Textile Stakeholders forum held at The SON Lekki Lagos office last week, Frank said Nigeria has all it takes to conquer global fashion business, estimated to rake in an annual income of over 15 trillion.
Frank assured board members that his designs will be on parade at the forthcoming November 11 Fastins Forum event holding at LCCI Conference and Exhibition Centre, Alausa, Lagos. Besides working with Nigerian prints (Ankara), the upscale designer assured members he was set to take Nigerian traditional fabrics such as Aso Oke, Akwaocha, Adire and Akwete to the next level by creating high street designs that will be freely patronized by Nigerians and foreigners alike.
He said he was motivated by the current effort of B.O.W to refocus the fashion and textile sector for employment and foreign exchange generations and therefore encouraged other stakeholders to rally round for an effective rebranding that would boost the national economy. He therefore called on fashion designers, textile manufacturers, government, ministries and agencies to support the forthcoming fashion and textile industry stakeholders’ forum so as to take the industry to the next level.
