Amira Ebrahim is the face of Africa Fashion Week Nigeria this year. Amira is a fast rising presenter who got noticed during the AFWN 2016 while co-hosting alongside Derenle Edun on the red carpet.

The main reason why Amira was chosen over 350 other models, who contested for the face of the Fashion week according to AFWN, is because of her contributions to the development of African fashion.
“Amira was chosen because she’s a model representation of today’s young African woman, who is vibrant, vivacious, and who is unafraid to dream, by stepping out of the norm to make her mark in a career and contribute her own quota to the society and events at large.” founder of AFWN Ronke Ademuluyi
