, Homecoming has become one of the year’s most anticipated events for the creative community in Nigeria and the diaspora, featuring a range of art shows, panel discussions, and fashion pop-ups.
The streets leading to Alara, the concept store that hosted Homecoming, were filled with some of the city’s most stylish creatives all making their way to the festival—and a quick glance at the attendees was a reminder of how and why Lagos has earned a reputation as Africa’s fashion capital. Many chose to play to the casual cool style of the alté subculture in Nigeria by dressing in cargo pants, T-shirts, and a range of accessories that embraced their individual styles.
