As part of the countdown to the first ever World Fashion Week in New York, the World Fashion Organization (WFO) organizes an Asian continental fashion event/reception to be hosted by the city of Shanghai, China on the 22nd and 23rd October, 2010 at the Shanghai International Fashion Center. It is during the United Nations Millennium Development Goals Award Dinner which is part of activities of the Shanghai Fashion Week. For this Asian continental fashion event/reception, a designer from one country is expected to represent each of the 5 continents that are members of the World Fashion Organization. United States of America represents North America, Argentina – South America, China – Asia, Italy – Europe and ahead of South Africa, Senegal, Ivory Coast and Kenya, Nigeria was selected to represent the African continent.
The Nigerian victory was made possible by Lexy Mojo-Eyes, Chief Executive of Legendary Gold Limited who is one of two Africans in the International Committee of the World Fashion Organization. Since the beginning of the year, he has been working from the headquarters of the WFO in New York, Paris and Milan respectively where he is a member of the core committee which have the responsibility of putting together a successful World Fashion Week and Asian continental fashion event/reception.
