In a bid to further help improve the Nigerian Fashion Industry, the FFA team decided to put together master classes to run for two days just before the Epic Show. The master class will run for two days Wednesday, May 23, 2018 and Thursday, May 24, 2018 at NEPC Training Facility, Road, Apapa, Lagos. The topic for the master class is ‘How to transform from boutique to Mass Production” and will be facilitated by Jennifer Sutton and Mabel Doe.
The Epic Show will kick off on Friday Morning, with a Fashion conference where those who matter in the fashion industry will take on panel sessions. The conference themed; “Increasing Nigeria’s participation in the Global Garment Production industry” has Her Excellency Hajia Aisha Abubakar, Minister of State for Industry, Trade and Investment as the Guest of Honour while Mallam Ismaila Zakari(ICAN President) would be speaking at the conference.

All through the three days we will also play hosts to Exhibitors and our marketplace vendors giving the opportunity to fashion lovers to shop till they drop.
The Epic show will continue on Sunday and Monday with a Fashion show featuring Student designers, New and Emerging designers and established designers out of Africa.
After the Fashion show on Monday evening, the Epic Show will be closed with the Fashions Finest Africa Rave where everyone would hit the dance floor and have even more fun with Ace DJ Crowd Kontroller on the wheels of steel.
