The Afthonia Nigerian Fashion Sample sale, held on Saturday, November 8th, was a huge success, marking a significant milestone in Lagos’ fashion industry. As one of the pioneering events of its kind in Lagos, it showcased the city’s vibrant fashion scene while promoting sustainable fashion practices. The event not only reduced textile waste but also supported local designers and artisans, injecting a boost into the local economy. By embracing slow fashion, Afthonia’s initiative encourages consumers to value quality over quantity, reducing the environmental impact of fast fashion. The success of this event paves the way for future collaborations and innovations in Nigeria’s fashion industry, positioning Lagos as a hub for sustainable fashion in Africa. We look forward to organising more initiatives like this, driving positive change in the fashion world.
