The Lagos State Government has made moves to spotlight indigenous fashion and textiles on the global stage.
To the effect, the Commissioner for Tourism, Arts and Culture, Mrs. Toke Benson-Awoyinka, hosted a high-level meeting with Her Majesty Queen Ronke Ademiluyi-Ogunwusi, founder of Africa Fashion Week London and Nigeria, alongside the British Deputy High Commissioner, Mr. Jonny Baxter.
The engagement focused on advancing the cultural and economic potential of Adire textiles, an iconic Yoruba fabric, as a major export and symbol of Nigeria’s rich heritage.
During the meeting, Benson-Awoyinka, reaffirmed the state’s unwavering support for creative platforms that empower designers, preserve cultural identity, and contribute meaningfully to the state’s economy. (Guardian)
