“So what are you doing December 20 and 21?”
“Honestly? Still deciding. December is already packed.”
“Okay, but hear me out. Fashion. Music. Creators. Food. Vibes. And a runway where you can actually walk.”
“…Wait. Explain.”
That is exactly how most people will hear about AFWN x MBN 2025, and once they do, it becomes very hard to ignore.
Holding on December 20 and 21 at the J. Randle Centre, Onikan, AFWN x MBN is shaping up to be one of those events you randomly attend and then talk about all through January.
So, what is AFWN x MBN really about?
Think of it as the intersection of fashion, culture, and community.
AFWN — short for Africa Fashion Week Nigeria — is a two-day fair that brings together designers, creators, fashion lovers, and small businesses across Nigeria and Africa.
MBN, Made By Nigerians, adds the storytelling layer by spotlighting Nigerian talent, ideas, and hustle.
And this year, Sterling is powering the experience, showing up not just as a sponsor but as a supporter of the creative economy.
Okay, but what will I actually see there?
Plenty.
First, over 50 vendors showcasing Nigerian-made fashion, beauty, food, art, crafts, and lifestyle products.
Yes, you will shop.
Yes, you will probably see something you didn’t know you needed.
Then there’s live music, runway moments, creator pop-ups, and spaces designed for content. If you like taking pictures or just looking good in them, this is your space.
There is also the Sterling Live Runway, which is honestly one of the most exciting parts.
Imagine walking into the event and finding yourself on a runway.
No pressure.
No labels.
Just vibes.
You walk, people cheer, cameras flash, and suddenly you’re living your low-key model fantasy.
Is it just for designers?
Not at all.
AFWN x MBN is for:
-
Fashion entrepreneurs looking to sell, connect, and grow
-
Fashion lovers who want to discover new brands
-
Creators — photographers, stylists, models, and media people
-
Young people who love culture, trends, and good energy
Basically, if you enjoy creative spaces that feel alive, you belong here.
But December is already mad busy. Why this one?
Because AFWN x MBN understands Detty December and leans into it.
Instead of competing with the chaos, it becomes a vibe hotspot — a place to hang out, meet people, network without stress, and still have fun.
It’s also happening during Christmas weekend, which means most people are already outside. You’re just choosing where to be outside.
Do I need to register?
Yes. Please.
Registration makes everything smoother, from entry to the overall experience.
So… are we going?
We are going.
AFWN x MBN 2025 is not about being overly serious.
It’s about celebrating creativity, style, culture, and the people building amazing things every day.
Create it. Wear it. Live it.
Sterling powers the culture you are building.
See you there.
