The event is being supported by the Ministry for Tourism who see it as an opportunity to promote Sierra Leone’s fashion industry and creative talents to an international audience and build stronger links with neighbouring countries.

The event is also likely to attract extensive media coverage in Sierra Leone and west Africa. “We would really like to get some more corporate organisations on board. This is a great opportunity for local businesses to support local talent, “ said Lamrana.
