Hi Lovelies,
I hope everyone has been enjoying their week. Over here in London, the heat wave has given way to cool drizzles showers of rain which I don’t mind if I am in bed under my duvet but alas! it is a mighty inconvenience when I am rushing off to work. Regardless, I have had an amazing week so far with all my deadlines slowly coming to an end. I have some exciting news which I want to share..I would be attending the African Fashion Week London on Friday 2nd August 2013. I am ecstatic!!! First off, this would be my first fashion week in London; I have only attended Fashion weeks and shows in Lagos, Nigeria and I loved every one of them.




African Fashion Week London (AFWL) was founded in 2011 by Ronke Ademiluyi whose desire was to promote and support African inspired designers, and London, being one of the quirkiest and ethnically diverse of the Fashion Capitals, proved to be the perfect place for this show…and Voila!! AFWL was created. So far, there has been two editions of the AFWL all held in different choice locations in London including Gibson Hall, Bishopgate(2011) andSpitalfields (2012) attracting over 20, 000 guests. Spanning these two years, AFWL has hosted and showcased over 200 budding and established African Designers making it one of the biggest single African Fashion event outside of the continent.
