This season, as the organizers of Lagos Fashion Week 2022 attempt to set the tone for the future of fashion, and champion Collaboration, Community and Co-creation across all touch points within the ecosystem, they have reassured the ecosystem that they will continue to demonstrate commitment to Funding, Capacity Building across Retail & Manufacturing, Sustainability and Education.
In light of this, Lagos Fashion Week in collaboration with Style House Files and Fayrouz have launched the 4th edition of its talent discovery platform ‘Green Access’ across Africa with BESTSELLER Foundation (BSF).
Philanthropically funded by fashion group BESTSELLER, since 2015, BSF has supported projects and invested in businesses with positive social and environmental impact.
We’ve leveraged the Green Access initiative as a vehicle to encourage and educate budding designers on the need to build economically, environmentally and socially sustainable fashion businesses, which we believe is the future of fashion globally.
It’s very important that they are engaged at a time when they are for the most part still in the start-up stages of their business, but we recognize we need to amplify this message. The partnership with BSF enables us to open the doors to emerging sustainable brands across the continent, making the Green Access programme for the first time Pan-African.”
