It’s that time of the year again – Lagos Fashion Week. We’re buzzing with excitement, eager to witness the newest collections from our favourite designers. Everyone seems to be outside and we’re loving the scenery. However, amidst all the chaos, there lies a constant pressure to follow the latest trends, to keep up with the Joneses, so to speak.
Last Tuesday, we were at Atafo and it was a great show. The show was a display of creativity, storytelling and music. Not to forget the star studded guest list. If you have any favourite personality in entertainment and fashion in Lagos, they were definitely at the show. That goes to show Mai Atafo’s imprint on the fashion industry in Nigeria.
But let me tell you this, fashion isn’t about conformity. It’s about self-expression. It’s a great time to celebrate our individuality and let our personal style shine. And what better platform to showcase that than during fashion week?
Sure, it’s easy to get swept up in the frenzy of new styles, colours, and fabrics. But we need to remember that fashion is meant to be a fun, creative outlet. We can navigate fashion week with our authenticity intact. You don’t have to follow the crowd if it doesn’t align with your style – stand out, be unique, and own it.
Here at Lagos Fashion Week, we want to create a community that celebrates diversity, where everyone’s style is valued and respected. We encourage you to experiment with different styles, play with textures, and don’t be afraid to step outside your comfort zone.
Fashion is about self-expression, and that means not being afraid to try new things. Sometimes the latest trend may not work for you, and that’s perfectly fine. Remember that your individuality is your strength, and your unique sense of style should be celebrated.
So let’s take on fashion week with authenticity, confidence, and creativity. It’s a time to express ourselves through our clothes and show the world our true colors.
Don’t forget to tag us on the gram if you’re at the fashion shows, or your favourite pieces from the designer’s collection. We want to see all of it!
Happy Lagos Fashion Week, everyone!
