After months of planning and anticipation  the FUTA FASHION SHOW glamorously took place at the Federal University of Technology Akure (FUTA).

The fashion show was conceptualized by Akinwamide Nifemi of futatoday.com.

According to Akinwande: “I came up with this idea to showcase the enormous talents FUTA has when it comes to fashion but I couldn’t have done it alone without the help of my team and friends of Futatoday who stood their ground to make sure the show was a success”.

The buildup to show  started with an equally innovative idea called Street Fashion Naija,where designers get to showcase their works around campus live.

Next was the pre-party and nominees party at Adesuper Hotels on the 24th of July 2015.

The Futa Fashion Show and Gala NIte started on a beautiful Friday on the 31^st of July 2015 with guests, friends and well-wishers expectation in high level as the clock ticks towards the dot of 5’o clock in the evening and all awaiting what the first ever edition of a fashion show in FUTA would look like.
