Multiple award-winning Nigerian singer Asa performed a medley of hits at the end of this year’s ARISE Fashion Week- a fitting climax to a spectacular event.
The Europe-based singer opened a captivating, nearly hour-long set with ‘Ife’ and ‘Dead Again,’ both mellow hit singles off her third studio album, Bed of Stone.
She kicked things up a notch with the hugely popular ‘Jailer.’ At the end, the audience – sparse and socially-distanced – were on their feet.
Earlier, the final eight designers, including Re Lagos, Kenneth Ize, Mmoso Maxwell, Lagos Space Programme, Ziva Lagos, TJWho, Onalaja and Ajabeng had showcased their designs on the grand catwalk.
Kenneth Ize was declared winner by supermodel Naomi Campbell and took home the $100,000 cash prize.
The finale brought to a close the 2020 ARISE FASHION WEEK 2020 which defied the odds of the pandemic and was held virtually for the first time.
