There’s something about the last day of September that makes you pause for a moment and look at how far the year has come. The final quarter is officially here, December is suddenly within reach, and before we know it, Lagos will be buzzing with the energy, colour, and excitement of Detty December.

For fashion brands, this is more than the end of another month. It is the beginning of the most exciting season of the year — a season of celebration, discovery, shopping, and being seen.

And this December, Africa Fashion Week Nigeria (AFWN) 2026 is creating the stage for African fashion to take its place at the centre of it all.

Calling All Designers, Creatives & Exhibitors: End the Year on the Grandest Stage

While individual pop-ups and standalone events will happen across Lagos, Africa Fashion Week Nigeria (AFWN) 2026 stands alone as the official fashion week taking place right in the thick of the “Detty December” festive rush.
