“We are excited to be a part of this unique experience once again as Lagos shows the beauty of African fashion to the world and how Africa will shape fashion’s future. We are even more excited to showcase the first ever Heineken Africa Inspired Fashion Collection at this year’s Lagos Fashion and Design Week, a demonstration of Heineken’s appreciation of African designs and designers, made possible through a collaborative work between the Heineken East Africa team, global Heineken design team as well as the Nigerian team.”
“The same way Heineken has broken borders from its birth place in Amsterdam, Netherlands to 192 countries around the world, is how we see the African fashion industry and its players breaking boundaries to make huge impact around the world. The Lagos Fashion and Design Week is indeed a highly significant platform for Heineken to support African fashion designers to perform their craftsmanship and make their mark in the fashion industry,” he added.
This year’s event will feature exciting four-day line up themed Africa: Shaping Fashion’s Future. Designers set to feature at the event, particularly from the East Africa countries, were selected through a highly competitive ‘Africa Inspired Fashion Challenge’ which motivated the best and most innovative, emerging designers to create a truly Heineken inspired African fashion collection.
The two highly talented winning designers, Lulu Mutuli and Azra Walji, supported by the Global Heineken Design Team and LEW design house have created the Heineken Africa Inspired Fashion collection, a unique brand fashion collection, truly Africa inspired, to be showcased at the Heineken LFDW 2017.
