Africa Fashion Week Nigeria (AFWN) has officially unveiled its theme for the 2025 edition, “The Naija December Experience”, a two-day extravaganza that promises to revolutionize the African fashion landscape.

The event scheduled for December 20-21, 2025, will bring together designers, industry experts, and fashion enthusiasts to celebrate the richness and diversity of African design and culture.

AFWN 2025 aims to transcend the traditional fashion week format by incorporating a range of exciting activities, including curated runway shows, a designer marketplace, live DJ sets, musical performances, sustainable design activations, and exclusive after-party experiences that showcase Lagos’ vibrant nightlife and hospitality.

With a focus on commercial viability and cultural relevance, the event promises to deliver even more opportunities for new and established designers to shine.

As a leading platform for African fashion, AFWN spotlights designers, supports talent development, and connects African creativity with global markets. The event blends runway, commerce, and culture to create commercially relevant opportunities for designers and a large cultural moment for Lagos and the continent.

The event is free to attend, but advance registration is required to ensure proper guest management, traffic flow, and security.

Further information on designer submissions, volunteer opportunities, and accreditation will be published on AFWN’s official website and social media channels in due course.

With its rich cultural heritage and growing fashion industry, Lagos provides the perfect backdrop for AFWN 2025.

The event is expected to attract a diverse audience of fashion enthusiasts, industry professionals, and cultural aficionados, all united by their passion for African fashion and creativity.
