1. It’s that time of the year again
   when lovers of beauty and
   fashion roll out their eyes in
   search for thrills and
   creativity to satiate their
   aesthetic cravings. All over the
   world it is happening and
   Nigeria is definitely taking up
   centre stage with numerous
   shows coming up. The Nigeria
   Fashion Week 2012 is here
   and Designers from all over
   the world are set to garb
   stunning African models in
   their own of kind threads and
   stitches. The models are also
   set to run the way more than
   we have ever seen as models
   of Nigerian descent around
   the world are flying in to
   graze this event.
   The Nigeria Fashion Week has
   continuously provided the
   platform for Nigerian
   designers to rediscover
   themselves and make success
   of their creative talents. The
   Fashion week has been able to
   re-orient Nigerian designers to
   look only inward for
   inspiration by using locally
   made fabrics and accessories
   and come up with a range that
   has global appeal. It is
   opening Africa's biggest
   fashion, hair and beauty
   market to international
   designers and luxury brands
   wishing to gain the Nigerian
   very large market.
   Those expected to participate
   includes Fashion designers,
   Textile, Garment & leather
   products manufacturers,
   Makers of wedding garments
   and accessories like cakes etc,
   Producers of lingerie/under
   wears, Jewelleries, wrist
   watches, shoes, bags, hats,
   Manufacturers of cosmetics,
   make-up, hair and skin care
   products, Producers of Zips,
   buttons, threads, tape rule,
   Manufacturers of various
   industrial sewing, embroidery,
   pressing and cutting machines.
   Nigeria Fashion Week has
   always featured bold colors,
   but this year, just like last
   year the focus is on one color
   in particular — green. The
   2011 event with the theme
   ‘going green’ presented 42
   designers and 39 exhibitors
   from 22 countries. It
   attracted both national and
   international media. The
   highpoint of the week was the
   ‘going green collection’
   where most of the
   participating designers
   presented special garments
   made from recycled materials.
   It was to draw awareness to
   climate change issues. For the
   second time in a roll, Nigeria
   Fashion Week will showcase
   collection specifically to
   create awareness of
   environmental issues. The
   president of Nigeria Fashion
   Week Lexy Mojo-Eyes , said
   "The whole world is going
   green and that means the
   whole world is thinking about
   sustaining our environment.
   We thought this is our little
   contribution. The idea of
   Nigeria Fashion Week 'Going
   Green' means asking
   designers, to use recycled
   fashion accessories to be able
   to make collections that will
   help us project the idea of
   going green, to help in
   bringing awareness to people
   in Nigeria about the
   importance of a sustainable
   environment."
   In a press release, the
   organizers points out that
   following the success of last
   year’s theme, this year’s event
   is still tagged ‘going green 2’
   in continuation of what was
   started last season and
   promises to create a bigger
   platform for eco-fashion -or
   sustainable fashion as it is
   also called. More participants
   and international media are
   expected as well as buyers
   from Milan, New York,
   Australia and Asia. Nigeria
   Fashion Week 2012 ‘going
   green 2’ will be declared open
   by the President of the World
   Fashion Organization, Paco De
   Jaimes.

2. I am pretty sure that this year's event will be a great success with what we saw last year.
   The Nigeria fashion show organised every year is now promoting Nigeria in the fashion world.
   This is a good one for the organisers.
