The organizers of Africa Fashion Week Nigeria & Africa Fashion Week recently
unveiled sensational singer,  Yemi Alade
as its official brand ambassador.
They had this to say;
“Our distinct journey as a proudly Nigerian, proudly African and an
international brand began about 6 years ago in London. What we started then as
a small brand to satisfy a niche, has now gone on to become an award winning
and very well recognized brand which is the biggest platform of its kind in
Europe showcasing African designers and African-inspired fashion. The
popularity and success of the Africa Fashion Week London brand was what
triggered us to bring the brand home to Nigeria.
Africa Fashion Week Nigeria, now in its 3rd year has been a memorable and
very fulfilling journey. In just a few months, we will not only be celebrating
our 3rd anniversary but it will yet be another Africa Fashion Week from 1st
July – 3rd July 2016 with a fashion exhibition and showcase of upcoming and
established designers.

From the word go, our mantra was to discover young new exciting brands by
providing a platform to build and promote them to an international standard.
Africa Fashion Week Nigeria promotes the beauty of Africa, from the
creative side of fashion to the business of it. Ronke Ademiluyi founder of AFWN
said ‘This year, we chose someone who embodies the true African woman. A
strong, intellectual and musically inclined woman; her music reflects what’s
good, what’s great and what’s best about the motherland. We couldn’t have
chosen anyone more suitable to be our brand ambassador”.
The ‘Johnny’ crooner is a great addition to the Africa Fashion Week brand
as she’ll bring a lot of energy and drama to the upcoming AFWN from 1st July –
3rd July 2016 and AFWL 16th September – 17th September 2016 at the prestigious
Eko Hotel & Suites and London Olympia, West Kensington respectively
