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.

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

    ReplyDelete
  51. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  52. 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.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  54. I ll be there.

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  77. 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
