Native & Vogue PH International Fashion Week 2014 - Creating A Fresh Runway

Native and Vogue Port Harcourt international Fashion Week is the most creative and innovative fashion event in West Africa. It is an assembly of top designers and models across Africa, to celebrate the totality of African Fashion. 

Designed as a dual platform to groom emerging designers and showcase established designers, Native and Vogue is positioned to drive and grow the local fashion industry into sustainable globally competitive brands. Continue...


On a wider perspective, Native and Vogue equally serve as a medium to further develop and influence tourism as more African designers now infuse African inspired themes and fabrics into their designs. This has expanded the fashion industry tremendously; making it a highly exportable sector.

From the 19th – 21st of September 2014,Port Harcourt will host distinguished guest from the local and international fashion scene in a three day affair of incredible spectacle and an awesome display of the vibrant Nigerian and African fashion style.

This is cool ooo. A fashion event with a difference. U hardly find fashion events that aim to empower young entrepreneurs as well. This is nice.

timi said...

Can't wait till Nigerian fashion designers start getting mentioned among the likes of Versace, YSL, and the rest.

Dipson said...

Nothing for those of us who don't do fashion?

chinwe said...

Anonymous said...

Soji said...

Roli said...

after seeing last year's event, i think native and vogue's new theme should be "we came. we saw. we fashioned"

Anonymous said...

seems like the event of a lifetime.

tomiwa said...

this native and vogue ain't a bad idea ooo; but why only Rivers indigenes?

ezekiel said...

something to help out young fashion entrepreneurs if surely a good idea. i hope there would be more of these kinds of event soon.

Anonymous said...

this seems like a very creative event, and I bet it is going to be quite artistic and entertaining. I sure hope this event goes on for many years to come.

joseph said...

some of all these fashion shows sha. u dey hardly see person wear the clothes that they displayed, on the streets. or is it just me? native and vogue is still a nice idea though.

Anonymous said...

Hmmm are we sure they will live up to their words? This one that they are saying only Rivers indigene. Abeg, it sounds political jor.

Anonymous said...

they have come again with another fashion event. na fashion person want chop? abeg make we rest.

Anonymous said...

bisi l. said...

the fact that they said the competitions are only open to Rivers idigenes makes it very uninteresting. abeg, i don waka pass.

Anonymous said...

adewale s. said...

good luck to all the fashion designers and models who will be taking part in the competition. if this year's is anything like last, then this is bound to be a great event.

JOY said...

Clifford guru said...

pls let this competition be for real ooo, not the one that after the event, the winner won't get the prizes as stated.

Oluwadare said...

Is the event free?

Anonymous said...

the organizers of this event shld try n reconsider this their only indigenes of river states thing. other designers like myself wld love to partake in the competition. thanks!

Amaka Ane said...

well done to the organizers of this event. i'm not particularly moved by the fashion event, but by the fact that they are aiming to empower young entrepreneurs. kudos to them.

atinuke said...

RUME said...

WHY PH? SO OF ALL THE BETTER STATES IN NAIJA, NA PH DEM CARRY THE EVENT GO? ABEGI!!!

ELIZABETH said...

i just hope it ll make sense sha cus most of the fashion shows i ve attended, not even halfway into the show, and i am already feeling sleepy.

Unknown said...

Must be an indigene of Rivers State? This is crab.

Pamela Lewis said...

This is all nonsense, the lady who won the best designer last year has not even been given her N3million prize scholarship to South Africa or kobo as cash prize. I hope the rivers state government is not part of all this wash wash crazy shows by so misleading the youths of the state, and you wonder why there is so much violence in the niger delta region, when na your own people they wound you. Governor Amechi has good intensions for the state but not his so called cabinet ......Linda post dis ooooo
