**Nigeria can use fashion to create wealth, employment – WFO **

The week put together by the World Fashion Organization (WFO) allows fashion designers, brands or “houses” to display their latest collections in runway shows, and buyers and the media to take a look at the latest trends.

Most importantly, these events keep the industry as well as the people abreast of what is “in” and what is “out” for the season.
Nigerian designers are no doubt drawing their inspiration from years of cultural fashion history and refitting it for modern-day life, creating apparels that can actually sell at home and abroad.
Owing to the success of AFWL, the Africa Fashion Week in Nigeria (AFWN), Nigerian Fashion Week and other Fashion shows were created to give platform for talented young and emerging designers, who have not been privileged with the opportunity to showcase on an international platform.
