The commonwealth fashion week and award is designed
by Globe Chamber of Commerce and Industry to recognize and showcase iconic
Fashion designers, brands and textile industries, and put on display their
latest collections of fashions to media and prospective buyers.
Adding the entertainment flair that normally goes
with fashion events aside, the chairman of Globe Chamber of Commerce, Hon. Nwabueze Buchi George has revealed that the
major aim of the CommonWealth Fashion Week and Awards is to give fresh breath
to African fashion, textile and leather industries.
“We want to use the event to promote made in
Africa fashion products, Cosmetics inclusive, fashion has become everything we
do and it is one important industry that grows individuals and economies of
nations” he added.
“We have done a couple of fashion events around the world in the past and this one is really exciting for us”
“African fabrics for instance should be
household items around the continent, but so bad that some of them have hardly
left the shores of the owners’ countries. We want to share their heritage and
we want to see people wearing them with pride around the world because in
Africa, one thing we care so much about is our heritage which is what our
fashion industries connote”, he concluded.
Beyond
having lots of participants, Hon. Nwabueze Buchi George is looking forward to
making the event a fashion fair that will feature many countries of the
continent and he believes that the economic impact will be massive.
Stay tuned as more update comes your way.
