It's sad to
announce that Arise Magazine Fashion Week 2013 has been moved/cancelled due to
logistical issues. The company behind the production announced the news in a
press release sent out to designers yesterday.
The AMFW teams
were in meetings all day yesterday regarding the show as so many designers are
experiencing problems in regard to shipping, vaccinations, logistics, visas,
getting the collections ready, etc. Arise proposed to bring 50 designers to
Lagos, however, due to the tight deadlines most people are finding it very
difficult to participate this year.
