Port Harcourt Fashion Week 4th Edition: Day Two Closes With Bold Creativity, Rising Talent, and Runway Excellence
Port Harcourt, Nigeria — Day Two and the grand finale of the 4th Edition of the Port Harcourt Fashion Week which was held on the 15th of November, 2025 delivered an electrifying celebration of creativity, talent, and innovation as designers, models, fashion enthusiasts, and industry stakeholders converged at the EUI Event Center for a night that affirmed the Garden City’s growing influence in Nigeria’s fashion landscape.
Founded and convened by Ngozi Ferrari — Nigerian entrepreneur, former model, and CEO of Wave Model Management — the Port Harcourt Fashion and Design Week continues its mission to amplify local creativity, promote innovation, and reshape perceptions of the region’s fashion industry. Since its launch in 2019, the annual event has empowered designers, expanded market access, and championed fashion as a viable economic driver beyond the state’s oil-centric identity.
