“The partnership with Moda Operandi could not have come at a better time considering our decision to postpone the physical activation of Lagos Fashion Week post-civil unrests in Nigeria in 2020. The success of Lagos Fashion Week’s trunk show in 2020 resulted in Lisa Folawiyo and Andrea Iyamah having their stand-alone trunk shows at Moda Operandi this season,” said Lagos Fashion Week founder Omoyemi Akerele.
This year’s event was held in a hybrid format, with live and digital fashion shows taking place between Oct. 27 and 31. In November, Akerele spearheaded the announcement of a $1.2 million government relief package that provided funding to 30 Nigerian fashion brands to stave economic impacts from COVID-19.
Now with “The Best of Lagos Fashion Week” trunk show on Moda, that plan is inching into action. The six labels participating this year are offering colorful designs with unique silhouettes, all priced largely from $400 to $800. The designs, which are mostly produced on the African continent, will ship to consumers in May.
“We’ve seen standout talent emerge from Lagos Fashion Week and are honored to be partnering with them on a trunk show for the second year in a row,” said Moda’s chief merchandising officer April Hennig. “This year, we’re adding four breakout stars to our curation and continuing to support Lisa Folawiyo and Andrea Iyamah.
