The event, powered by Foremade Nigeria, will take place on Saturday, 27th September 2025, at the iconic Lagos City Mall, Onikan.

Billed as an open cultural experience for fashion enthusiasts and music lovers, the Open Mall Fashion Show is one of the most anticipated creative showcases of the year. With 12 elite Nigerian designers gracing the runway, including award-winning fashion houses Azach, De ExquisiteMo Luxe, and House of Triniks, the event promises to redefine the intersection of style, sound, and storytelling.

Hafrikplay’s Involvement: Music as the Pulse of Fashion

As the Official Music Partner, Hafrikplay will infuse the event with vibrant African rhythms and spotlight the next generation of music stars.

In addition, Hafrikplay will extend its cultural influence into the exhibition area, collaborating with the Muson Music School live band to provide a soulful, interactive experience for attendees exploring fashion displays and lifestyle exhibitions.

This partnership aligns seamlessly with Hafrikplay’s mission to empower independent African creatives by bridging music and culture. Through the event, emerging and established artists in Hafrikplay’s ecosystem will gain valuable exposure to fashion audiences, media partners, and brand stakeholders.
