Lagos Fashion Week — open designer applications for the runway schedule

Description: Lagos Fashion Week keeps a standing application channel for labels that want a place on its official schedule. Submissions are reviewed by an anonymous internal panel and only successful applicants are contacted. Designers who do not yet meet the trading requirements are pointed instead towards the Green Access programme. Rolling call with no published closing date: the deadline shown here is a placeholder set by our board.

Requirements: Registered fashion businesses trading for at least two years, presenting men's or women's ready-to-wear (accessories-only labels are not accepted). Applicants must show retail stockists, in-store collections or a made-to-measure service, plus evidence of community building such as an active social media presence.

Pay: No fee is charged for applying. The source does not state any payment to or from selected designers.

How to apply: Email your application to designers@lagosfashionweek.ng with documentation covering each requirement and your most recent lookbook. Open on a rolling basis.
