This October, the much-anticipated Heineken Lagos Fashion Week is set to make a grand return, bringing with it a vibrant theme that encapsulates the spirit and vision of African creativity.
From October 23rd to 27th, 2024, fashion enthusiasts and industry leaders will come together under the theme “COMMUNE,” celebrating Africa’s leading talents and showcasing the creativity that defines the continent’s fashion landscape.
The theme COMMUNE is not just a call for unity but a celebration of a shared vision for the future of African fashion.
Over the course of five days, Lagos Fashion Week will highlight the integral role of the entire fashion value chain in driving innovation and sustainability across Africa. This year’s event will serve as a platform to showcase how African designers are pushing boundaries and redefining fashion on their own terms.

Lagos Fashion Week 2024 will prominently feature the Green Access finalists — Dimeji Ilori, Garbe, Malité, Oya Abeó, and Revival. These innovators will debut collections that have been meticulously developed over months of mentorship focusing on responsible production and sustainable sourcing practices.
