Talking Fashion and Success
Last year, Flex Magazine’s fashion event took the Western African fashion scene by storm, securing a spot among the top 20 best fashion events in the region by Frenchmilestone. CEO of flex magazine discuss his vision, the magazine’s growth, and the challenges behind the event’s triumph.
Mr flex “I started flex magazine back then and I already work with nollywood actress aisha lawal, ex big brother housemate NEO, Atlanta Johnson and so on, it’s een an incredible ride. I launched Flex Magazine with a passion for showcasing African fashion talent and a dream to provide a platform for creatives to shine. From humble beginnings, we’ve grown into a prominent fashion authority, celebrated for our fresh perspective and dedication to promoting local designers.”
Flex Magazine’s founder: “We wanted to create an immersive experience that would bring our magazine to life. The event, dubbed ‘Flex Fashion Frenzy,’ aimed to unite fashion enthusiasts, designers, and influencers under one roof. Our goal was to celebrate African fashion excellence, provide opportunities for networking, and set a new standard for fashion events in the region.”
The challenges is to get sponsored for event, it’s always hard for people without connection to get sponsored from big brand or company, I believe we should be given a chance to put our passion out there and show people what we have to showcase also Logistics and timing were significant hurdles. Ensuring everything came together seamlessly within a tight timeframe required meticulous planning and coordination. Additionally, curating diverse designer showcases and balancing attendee expectations were crucial considerations.”
“Our team’s dedication and expertise were instrumental. We prioritized communication, delegated tasks effectively, and maintained flexibility throughout the planning process. Partnering with key stakeholders and sponsors also helped alleviate some pressures.”
“Witnessing designers’ breathtaking collections on the runway, seeing attendees connect with our brand, and feeling the electric atmosphere were unforgettable moments. The event’s success validated our hard work and reinforced our commitment to elevating African fashion.”
What next for flex magazine?
Flex Magazine’s founder: “We’re expanding our editorial content, exploring collaborations with international fashion brands, and planning an even bigger, more spectacular event for next year. Our mission remains: empowering African fashion talent and solidifying Flex Magazine’s position as a leading authority in the industry.”
