Earlier Today, The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall hosted a lunchtime reception at St James' Palace for members of the British Nigerian, Gambian and Ghanaian communities. As Lagos Fashion Week begins today, we were given the opportunity to highlight the work of platform. The designers showcased are a reflection of our ethos. Nkwo, whose designs are made in Nigeria from end-to-end with fabrics locally sourced from communities in Northern Nigeria. Eki Orleans who straddles, born in a rural town in Germany, raised in Nigeria and now residing in London, her designs are heavily rooted in Africa and a celebration of the links between Nigeria and the UK. - Lagos Fashion Week represented by @ArietaWho.
