THE CRÈME OF AFRICAN CRO EVENTS a moel with Deola Sagoe David Tlale Deola Sagoe Deola Sagoe, David Tlale, Tiffany Amber, Lola Maleombho, Andrea Iyamah, Style Temple, Paradis, Okunoren, Papa Opong, Selam Fessahaye, Tokyo James and Mai Atafo to name a few all gathered over a span of 3 days to showcase their AW19 Collections. For many Young and Old, who’ve followed the launch, growth and prominence of many of these Designers it was indeed a moment of pride. Seeing African Design move from its largely bespoke beginnings; navigating through a phase of almost Independent exhibitions within one singular collection to this place of pure professionalism with regards to cohesiveness and aesthetic management, not to mention artful story telling is nothing short of awe inspiring. To see younger designers like; Andrea Iyamah and Tokyo James who in a short amount of time have achieved Global Acclaim alongside Pioneer Brands like; Deola Sagoe, David Tlale and Tiffany Amber certainly inspired optimism amongst viewers and commitment among Fashion Insiders to see African Fashion become all that it should be. A particularly emotional moment was the Tiffany Amber AW19 show. The designer reminding audiences that Nigerian and African Fashion did not just arrive at this point but is the product of over a decade of commitment of Designers like her; took us down memory lane by sharing video highlights of the Tiffany Amber Journey. From CNN Features to their first time on the New York Fashion Week Runway to Condenast Luxury Speaking engagements to Vogue Italia and British Vogue Features and a particularly sentimental moment for all Fashion Insiders, local or International a visit from Franca Sozzani a dedicated supporter of the brand. More than show just one brand’s history it was essentially a message that even Contemporary African Fashion was exiting its Start Up stages, moving into establishment and possibly even a heritage season.

EVENTS THE P Tiffany Amber Okunoren Tiffany Amber THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL DESIGNER AT ARISE David Tlale Taking yet another step towards establishing the Arise Fashion Week as a truly International Fashion Week beyond its Continent wide appeal, was the presence of an International Designer. Robert Cavalli Junior, Sartorial Spawn of Global Fashion Powerhouse Roberto Cavalli was more than just a guest in attendance. Presenting his very own Triple RRR collection and carrying the fullness of the Roberto Cavalli walked the Arise Fashion Week Runways. This seemingly Isolated event and crowd pleaser for those who understand the global fashion landscape is more than just that. One of the key markers of a successful Fashion Capital or Platform is its ability to draw in noindigenous Designers of Repute. New York, London, Paris, Milan, Season after Season all play host to some of the World’s finest non-indigenous designers, so seeing the Arise Fashion Week and Lagos no less take a step in that direction speaks Volumes.
