Nigerian bridal designer, Miracle Folaranmi of TruFlair Bridal, who also had her AFWL debut, gave a breathtaking show at the just concluded event.

Miracle surely paid attention to every detail while making each piece with no dull moment at her showcase.

Renowned Nigerian designer, Zizi Cardow, with an eponymous label has been in the fashion business for over two decades and we can categorically say that Zizi is very much iconic.

She delivered a very memorable showing at the show with her extravagant pieces inspired by traditional African prints.
