The global children’s fashion industry is experiencing remarkable growth, and Lagos is set to take centre stage this September. The Jewel International Fashion & Art Week (JIFAWEEK 2025), the largest children’s fashion showcase in Africa, will be held on September 12, 2025, at The Freude’s Place, Maryland, Lagos, starting at 10:00 a.m.

This year’s edition, themed “More To Now,” promises to be a groundbreaking event, bringing together 15 local and international designers who will present luxury, cultural, and sustainable collections inspired by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Beyond fashion, the platform provides children, creatives, and partners with global visibility, fostering confidence and self-expression among young participants.

A Platform for Creativity and Impact
Organised by Woodland Approach Ltd. in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment (FMLE), South West Zonal Office, JIFAWEEK 2025 will issue official certificates of participation to designers, models, and partners—a move that underscores its commitment to professionalism and international standards.

But JIFAWEEK is more than a runway show; it is also a social responsibility initiative. Part of the proceeds from the event will go toward supporting underprivileged children by providing them with school bags, books, sandals, and educational resources—demonstrating how fashion can create real community impact.

A Booming Market Opportunity
With the global children’s fashion market projected to exceed $300 billion by 2030, JIFAWEEK offers a unique opportunity for designers, parents, and investors to engage in one of the fastest-growing segments of the fashion industry. By blending creativity, culture, and empowerment, the event positions Lagos as a hub for children’s fashion innovation.

At its core, JIFAWEEK is a celebration of possibility. It is not just a fashion show—it is a project for every child, and everyone who can contribute should be part of supporting it.
