    Nigeria Fashion Week has

    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."

    organizers points out that
    following the success of last
    year’s theme, this year’s event
    is still tagged ‘going green 2’

    started last season and

    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,
