Nigerian Student Fashion and Design Week Goes Annual
The Nigerian
Student Fashion and Design Week (NSFDW) might have come and gone but anyone who
was at the Indoor Sports Hall of the University
of Lagos would bear
testimony to the beauty, creativity and elegance that defined the event.
What kicked off
with an empty runway and melodious tunes soon graduated into a potpourri of
designs, colour, creative variation and a fashion spectacle that was thrilling
to watch and exciting to appreciate.
The exhibition of
stylish designs with that remarkable touch of elegance and Afrocentric appeal
that simply cannot be ignored reminded guests at the event that no matter how
far the heart strays; a passion for the arts has a way of gravitating towards a
crescendo of rebirth and emergence.
