The Council
From Accra to Lagos, one movement.
The West African Fashion Council was formed in Ghana to give the region's designers a unified voice. Its Nigeria chapter carries that mission to Africa's largest fashion economy.
Our origin
WAFC began in Ghana (wafcghana.com) as a council dedicated to developing West Africa's fashion industry through structure, standards and opportunity.
The Nigeria mandate
Nigeria is the fashion capital of Africa. WAFC Nigeria exists to organise that energy — connecting designers to training, buyers, investors and shoppers, and promoting Nigerian and made-in-Africa brands worldwide.
Our pillars
Advocacy
Representing Nigerian designers in policy, trade and the global fashion conversation.
Education
Masterclasses, mentorship and business training for every stage of a fashion career.
Heritage
Protecting and celebrating adire, aso-oke, akwete and the crafts that define us.
