In Nigeria’s ferocious fashion scene, three designers fight to escape erasure and reach Lagos Fashion Week’s runway — where visibility means survival. A story about who gets seen, who remains invisible, and the fragile ecosystem that depends on them all.

Last Weekend in October is a documentary film in production by Black Gazelle Productions & Raconteur Productions. Set against the high-stakes backdrop of Lagos Fashion Week, the film follows three emerging designers navigating an industry where creative talent alone is never enough. Blending observational storytelling with intimate character portraits, it explores ambition, identity, and the unspoken politics of visibility in Nigeria’s fashion world.
