This season
Made here, worn everywhere.
Season 07 brings twelve labels from Lagos, Kano, Aba and Enugu to one waterfront for four evenings. Half of them are showing with us for the first time.
Every collection is made in Nigeria, most of it in small workshops of fewer than ten people. Between the shows, the Courtyard market lets you meet the makers and buy straight from the rail.
We built the Collective so a tailor in Aba and a house in Ikoyi share the same runway, the same lights and the same audience.Founder, Runway Collective (invented quote)
