Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu at the weekend joined models on the runway at the Lagos Fashion Week 2023 to close the Emmy Kasbit show.
Closing the Emmy Kasbit show, he said he was reminded of how creativity isn’t just about fashion but an economic force.
The governor described creativity as a catalyst for growth; assuring that his administration will continue to invest in the State’s creative minds, so as to ensure that they have the platform to shine.
He posted on his X account, @jidesanwoolu “At #LagosFashionWeek 2023, I stood proudly in the heart of a city that’s the epicentre of art, culture, and expression.
Lagos is where creativity thrives. We continue to support this vibrant community because we believe in its power to transform our city and our economy.
“Closing the Emmy Kasbit show, I’m reminded of how creativity isn’t just about fashion; it’s an economic force. Creativity is a catalyst for growth. We’ll keep investing in our creative minds, ensuring they have the platform to shine.”
According to him, the creative industry has an opportunity to significantly contribute more to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and provide jobs. “Our government is committed to nurturing this industry’s growth. Lagos and Nigeria are taking the world by storm with our art and fashion. Let’s together build a brighter, more prosperous future.”
He therefore expressed optimism that the event will continue to elevate the city’s fashion scene showcasing innovation and style.
Lagos Fashion Week is a fashion platform that drives the Nigerian and ultimately, the African fashion industry; by bringing together buyers, consumers and the media to view the current collections of designers at a four-day event in the fashion capital of Lagos, Nigeria.
