In the words of the organizers, "The first-ever ARISE Magazine Fashion Week is coming to town. We’ve invited 50 top African designers, including Tiffany Amber, Jewel By Lisa, Klûk CGDT, Christie Brown and Xuly Bët, to grace our runways with their autumn/winter 2011 collections. This prestigious event will be held at the Federal Palace Hotel from March 10 –13, culminating in the ARISE Magazine Fashion Awards (http://www.arisemagazine.net/)"
Over 50 online magazines and blogs such as Bella Naija, Haute Fashion Africa, Y! Magazine,etc covered the event with hundreds of more people re tweeting the links on twitter and sharing the link on facebook.
