2011 Arise Magazine Fashion week(Lagos): Day one



Arise Fashion Week officially kicked off yesterday in Lagos Nigeria. This was one of the most anticipated African fashion shows of the year so far. There was some mixed feeling on the first day because shows were moved in the last minutes , lack of Pr but nonetheless the excitement was still in the air.It is indeed difficult to get any type of info or pictures about shows taking place in Africa .This time, the team of fashion Africa was there to keep us up to date via twitter and their website. I have selected 3 of my favorite pieces from each of designers but you can see the entire collection of each one here. I could not help but notice some familiar faces in the modeling industry :Ajuma Nasenyana ( have not seen her in a while) Flaviana Matata, Georgie Badiel, Aminata Niara, Nana Keita, and many more .... Enjoy !!!
