Putting the
entertainment flair that normally goes with fashion events aside, Hon. Nwabueze
Buchi George has revealed that the major aim of the CommonWealth Fashion Week
and Awards is to give fresh breath to African fashion, textile and leather
industries.
CommonWealth
Fashion Week and Awards scheduled for June 2021, by Globe Chambers of Commerce
and Industries will be a confluence of Africa’s fashion related industries.
“We want
to use the event to promote made in Africa fashion products. Cosmetics
inclusive, fashion has become everything we do and it is one important industry
that grows individuals and economies of nations” Buchi George said
Billed for Kigali, Rwanda, CommonWealth
Fashion Week and Awards will witness Africa Garments, Leather Industries and
Textile Expo at the same period Common Wealth Head of Government Meeting CHOGM
will be taking place in Rwanda
“We have done a couple of fashion events
around the world in the past and this one is really exciting for us”
“Covid-19
pandemic saw CHOGM postponed to 2021 and we want to also take that advantage to
spice things up with another event that will attract people from around the
world”
“African
fabrics for instance should be household items around the continent, but so bad
that some of them have hardly left the shores of the owners’ countries. We want
to share their heritage and we want to see people wearing them with pride
around the world because in Africa, one thing we care so much about is our
heritage which is what our fashion industries connote”, he said.
Beyond
having lots of participants, Hon. Nwabueze Buchi George is looking forward to
making the event a fashion fair that will feature many countries of the
continent and he believes that the economical impact will be very massive.
