I am a fashion student and about to go Uni but before I do I want to do abit of a work experience in the summer holidays, you know to learn about the fashion industry in Africa( possibly nigeria). I would like to be based in Africa when I said my business and  also to get contacts. If anyone knows of anyone in Naija(possibly Abuja) who works in the fashion industry and as their website, facebook or some way I can contact them please do not hesitate to comment.
   Please they have to be genuine not yeye business. Thanks alot 

Ruff n Tumble, sofisticat,

Do you have their websites?

It not good to downgrade people,s businesses,which one is yeye business.The fashion and grament industry in Nigeria is underdeveloped.so dont say that atleast they are doing something,there was a time fashion people were seen as not to good.

Do not get me wrong I said yeye business because I do not want posters posting rubbish on this thread,

I am sure If I did not think nigeria was up to it in the fashion industry I would not have chosen there to do my work experience,

just google ruff n tumble and put Nigeria infront, sofiticat as well, odua creations, vivid imagination,Adebayo note etc.where did you study?

Alright kl, Thanks, Uk

Here are Nigeria's top ten fashionist / Tailors / designers. they are in no particular order.

Alright, do you have a website?

Yep,kandikane,a web page of 'Oussce clothing 'on facebook.

Hello Samme,
I have a friend who is very creative but needs to learn about designing and the fashion industry. She has a lot of potential. Please will it be ok if I ask her to contact you?

kandiikane, what fashion school did you attend in london?
and what aspect of fashion did you learn about? modelling? or clothes designing? etc

West herts college. I learnt womenswear but I do model

I'm pretty sure there are many african fashion designers based in UK that you can apprentice with. You don't need to move to Africa to do that unless you are planning to move anyway then I will suggest you find designers based in the UK and use their connection to meet someone in Nigeria/ other parts of Africa you're thinking of.

I am travelling to nigeria in the summer anyways so I decided to just do the work experience there. I would like to be based in Africa later that is why I want to see what its like to work in that particular fashion industry.
