The Must-See Moments From The VVS Lagos Fashion Show Debut
On Saturday, July 16th, the VVS Lagos Fashion Show made its premiere with a beautiful opening that put all facets of art and culture at its center. Lagos is now the site of various possibilities to share a taste of its rich history with the globe. That was grandly commemorated by VVS Lagos in the areas of fashion, art, culture, lifestyle, and technology.
The trunk sales and art exhibit were held at Mera Mera beach home, which offered tranquil and magnificent decor, while the runway show was staged at The Good Beach. Ifeanyi Nwune, founder of VVS Lagos, teamed up with Eyowo in response to Nigeria's expanding fashion-related interest among the general public and the industry's constant change. Thus, VVS Lagos was established to have a fresh fashion week format in order to boost participation and expose designer enterprises to new markets.
The show was open to all attendees. The collaboration of fashion industry professionals and customers allowed for the development of a more robust creative platform for a developing community. Don Jazzy, Olamide, MI Abaga, TG Omori, Asake, Hanu, Noble Igwe, Nengi Adoki, Dj Caise, Stephen Tayo, and TSE were among the performers at the event.
The relevance of technology and new, cutting-edge styles has been demonstrated by the way the art world has changed over the past 30 years. Designers like Anthony Azekwoh, Yusuff Aina, Ifeanyi Nwune, and Ken Nwadiogbu are making art accessible to everyone while maintaining the same fine details and design quality through the development of NFTs. By providing a venue for this technological development in Lagos, VVS Lagos showcased the brilliance, diversity, and values of being visionaries.
The program did include a physical art exhibition, which was organized by young Nigerian artist Ken Nwadiogbu and featured works by Ayanfee Olarinde, Emma Odumade, and Wasiu Eshinlokun. Participants were able to connect and engage with artwork that represented the idea of freedom thanks to the in-person format.
