The Jaguar
Lagos Fashion Awards (JLFA) in collaboration with Jaguar Lagos unveiled
the list of nominees of the 2015 Jaguar Lagos Fashion Awards at Maison
Fahrenheit, Victoria Island.
Emerging
designers and artisans engaged the distinguished guests while congratulating
the newly recognised nominees in the different categories.
The Jaguar Lagos Fashion Awards recognises and celebrates
the extraordinary ground covered by innovative professionals in the Nigerian
fashion scene. The awards were created in response to the absence of indigenous
platforms highlighting and rewarding the efforts and skillset in the local
fashion industry.
"We’re pleased to partner with a brand that recognises the
burgeoning Lagos fashion scene and highlights the continuous efforts of the
local fashion industry,” said Creative Director of the Jaguar Lagos Fashion
Awards, Bolaji Animashaun. “This couldn’t have happened at a better
time especially now that Lagos has gained standing as one of the global fashion
capitals."
