Which fashion week is held in the Nigerian city of Lagos and commonly abbreviated LFW?

Lagos Fashion Week is the Nigerian fashion event held in Lagos and commonly abbreviated LFW.

The event provides a platform for African designers, models, photographers, buyers and media. It is associated with Style House Files, the fashion development and cultural platform founded by Omoyemi Akerele. The organization also supports designer development and African fashion documentation.

Lagos Fashion Week is sometimes described as both a runway event and a wider fashion ecosystem. Its programme can include catwalk shows, presentations, talks and commercial activity, rather than one single continuous runway.

The abbreviation LFW can create confusion because it is also used for London Fashion Week and other local events. The city named in the question is therefore important: Lagos Fashion Week refers specifically to Nigeria’s largest city.
