Lagos Fashion Week Announces Woven Threads V:  Exploring the Power of Community in Fashion

Lagos Fashion Week will present the fifth edition of Woven Threads from April 19th to April 21st, 2024. This season's showcase, themed “Commune”, goes beyond the runway, shining a light on the individuals and communities that contribute to the artistry.

Sustainability is often viewed through the pillars of economic, environmental and social development with culture taking a back seat. This season “Commune” takes an exploratory dive into the work of creatives on the scene through the African cultural lens of Community, the starting point of our creative process.
