The eyes of the world would be focused on Lagos, Nigeria from tomorrow, Tuesday, March 6, 2012. We hear the world's media from far and wide are either here already, or would be arriving tonite and for those not coming, technology would afford them the opportunity to see the goings on wherever they are.

Things would start happening from tomorrow, starting with press registration from between 12 Noon and 4PM, thereafter would be the lighting of the fashion torch, which would then be followed by a seminar on the business of fashion and a special welcome VIP Cocktail reception an invites only event, then would begin the meat of the matter itself, the fashion show the next day.  Frank Osodi should have opened this year's fashion week, the extra-ordinarily talented couturier of note seems to have a special understanding of the female form, and therefore knows how to drape it fantastically well, and his showcase would have been followed by that of South Africa's Kluk CGDT, made up of the duo of Malcom Kluk and Christiaan Gabriel du Toit according to the initial schedule of events.
