The much anticipated upcoming fashion show in Abuja, geared at promoting and showcasing African designers and vendors was 1st of July postponed by its organizers. In the bid to ensure that (last minute) international-based designer obtains their visas in a timely manner and that all other designers effectively participate, the organizers decided it was best to move the show to September above slated instead of July 14th to 15th 2017 as initially planned.

As a result of this shift in dates, the AFWA & AFCW Brussels will eventually be pushed. As disappointed as the citizens of Abuja & Amsterdam may be, it is best to give a hundred percent than zero percent.

According to Maimuna Abubakar CEO of Tozali magazine she subscribes to the postponement as a “deliberate yet effective strategy to truly gather artists, designers, and vendors for the best possible outcome”.

The new dates scheduled for T-AFCW Abuja is now September 14th to 16th 2017 at the Exhibition Pavilion Art gallery located at Area 11 beside the International Conference Center Abuja.
