HauTe’s Fantasy50 Designers for Arise Magazine Fashion Week’s Debut in Lagos, Nigeria ’11.

Award Shows & Fashion Weeks are just some of our Favorite things to look forward to in the beginning of the year, but this year hit us with more exciting news. Another guilty pleasure had been added to the list, and that’s the debut of Arise Magazine Fashion Week in Nigeria. YES, ARISE MAGAZINE, Africa’s first global style and culture magazine as with ARISE AFRICA FASHION COLLECTIVE, this showcase will come as the fitting end to the traditional fashion season after Paris Fashion Week and is designed to compete with and complete the world’s global Fashion Weeks. The ARISE MAGAZINE FASHION WEEK will end with the ARISE MAGAZINE FASHION AWARDS on the night of 13 March 2010.
