Nigerian models taking over the global fashion scene

Victor Ndigwe

Fashion season internationally starts in February and September/October for womenswear and January and June/July for menswear in the big four fashion weeks which occur in New York, London, Milan and Paris. Lagos Fashion Week takes off in October and with fashion shows happening pretty much all year round it is pretty safe to say that fashion never sleeps.  
Strutting on the big runways all over fashion central are the young and beautifully sculpted Nigerian models who have been signed to the biggest agencies and have taken part in major campaigns. Whoever said the beautiful ones are not yet born lied because they have and all happen to be from Nigeria.
