The Gain and Loss of AMFW '13

Streetstyle, AMFW '11

Relax, it’s okay!

We’ll all be fine in a bit. Not to worry, it’s not the end of the world it’ll just be after the end of this year…

I mean, that it was cancelled this year doesn’t mean we still cannot have fun or any good fashion week at that - Yes, I’m talking about AMFW.

Actually, for as many people like me who continue to complain about this loss, that gain and how boring the rest of the year will be --- oh, plus all the pressures I’ve been through even at a very high level – there’s a reason to be happy, something is cooking. Cooking real fast too and oh yeah you’ll enjoy it. It smells delicious and tastes healthy too.

Watch this space….dazall!

AMFW 2013 CANCELLED

The AMFW teams were in meetings all day yesterday regarding the show as so many designers are experiencing problems in regard to shipping, vaccinations, logistics, visas, getting the collections ready, etc. Arise proposed to bring 50 designers to Lagos, however, due to the tight deadlines most people are finding it very difficult to participate this year.

After much deliberation, the ARISE Magazine Fashion Week management has announced that its proposed AMFW 2013 event, scheduled for March 28-1 April, has been postponed due to technical and logistical reasons. In its place they announced TWO shows; the first will take place during IMG Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week from 5-12th September 2013, showcasing Spring/Summer 2014 collections; and the second event will be the annual AMFW – Lagos 2014, to celebrate Nigeria’s 100th Anniversary.
