Covenant University is gearing up to host a spectacular fashion event, “Retro Revival,” scheduled for Saturday, April 12th. The event, which starts with a red carpet at 11 am, promises to be a stylish celebration that reimagines vintage trends through a contemporary African lens.

According to Professor Olaleke Ogunaike, Director of the Center for Entrepreneurial Development Studies, “Fashion speaks through the ages, and at Covenant University, we’re ready to make a statement that resonates across generations. Our ‘Retro Revival’ concept aims to bridge generational gaps by showcasing vintage aesthetics from the 60s to the 90s, infused with cultural elements that tell a story.”

The event promises to be an exciting exhibition where the past and present collide in a breathtaking display of fashion evolution. Covenant University Fashion School, sponsored by the Covenant University Centre for Entrepreneurial Development Studies, provides students with practical skills in fashion design, styling, and runway production.

The school’s mission is to empower students to explore their passion for fashion, sharpen their entrepreneurial skills, and redefine the future of style and design. As Professor Ogunaike emphasizes, entrepreneurship in fashion is about creating one’s identity and brand, requiring both inspiration and practical knowledge.

The school’s approach combines hands-on experience, collaboration with industry professionals, and digital platforms to prepare students for success in the competitive fashion industry. By incorporating digital platforms into the curriculum, students learn how to effectively market and sell their designs, creating impactful brand narratives that resonate with a broader audience.

The “Retro Revival” fashion show is a testament to the university’s commitment to fostering creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurial spirit in the fashion industry. As the fashion world continues to evolve, Covenant University is dedicated to preparing the next generation of fashion leaders, equipped with the skills, knowledge, and passion to succeed.

The event promises to be a memorable occasion, highlighting the university’s dedication to nurturing creative talent and fostering innovation in the fashion industry. On April 12th, Covenant University will come together to celebrate the “Retro Revival” fashion show, a showcase of style, entrepreneurship, and artistic expression.
