FLAME WEDGES
Runway Dubai 2018 recently wrapped up its sixth season with gifts of inspirational satisfaction and positive messages in the community. The very colourful event was held last weekend, at the Marriott Al Jaddaf in Dubai. The industry has seen creative performance from designers and artists around the world that carry the message of positivity in creativity. Runway Dubai, a fashion networking platform has in the past, carried out campaigns around fitness, health, Down syndrome, and alopecia awareness.
This year was no exception, with the beautiful model and actress Natlaie Oden with autism who launched the autism campaign on the Runway Dubai platform with a moving speech.
The shows included a lot of fashion activities that were highly engaging and motivating like fashion competitions and best dressed contests. It also saw creative designers and artists from all across the world displaying various fashion ideas inspired by culture and style.
Established designers that participated this year were equally captivating with their pieces on the ramp. They all had their individual stories; Nkechi Harry Ngonadi for NHN COUTURE who has been named the ambassador to the Runway Dubai show in Nigeria, closed this year’s event with a big bang as promised. Her collection named KALEIDOSCOPE was nothing short of colours with a splash of beautiful models and African dancers. The event also saw four women who walked the ramp with NHN for a cause, Rev. Laurie Idahosa (OVERCOMING INFERTILITY), Barrister Gozie Udemezue (WIDOWED BUT NOT WITHERED) Makosi Musambasi (BREAST CANCER SURVIVAL) , Ijeoma Ndukwe (YOU CAN BE MORE) . They each had empowering stories of survival and perseverance which gave an impactful meaning to the importance of platforms of this nature. Nkechi also won the Most Influential Designer of the year.
