Judging from the exquisite collections showcased over the years and what went down at the 2016 Heineken Lagos Fashion & Design Week, Nigeria is known to house the best designers in the Africa (yes, you heard that right). With beloved brands like Bridget Awosika, Andrea Iyama, Lisa Folawiyo, Mai Atafo, Orange Culture, Tsemaye Binite and more that showcased on the Day 3&4 of the event, we can realistically say there was no disappointment. We saw cutting-edge designs with the high-end appeal, irresistibly beautiful dresses, and even next-level wedding attires that exude wedding-day romance, it’s now safe to say these designers came out to outdo themselves.
