This is about so much more than just selling our products to the market.\u201d says Markus Riedmann, Chairman of the Austrian Embroidery Manufacturer\u2019s Association. \u00a0 Lace is often considered to be “old-fashioned” or something that your grandmother would wear, but the beautiful feminine patterns, and bright, flamboyant designs are something that attract fans of African fashion young and old.<\/p>\n

The Austrian-Nigerian lace partnership has now taken a step into the future and is claiming its spot on the fashion scene.\u00a0 A project known as \u201cAustrian Lace \u2013 Nigerian Fashion\u201d that took place last October aims to celebrate the longstanding history of lace exports to Nigeria, while showing how lace can still be relevant and high-fashion.\u00a0 Four designers were hand-picked to take part in the exhibition, one of which was Frank Osodi of House of Bunor, who also showcased at Africa Fashion Week New York 2010.\u00a0 Osodi’s interpretation of Nigerian fashion with Austrian lace showed a sea of ballgowns, full skirts, and feminine ruffles cascading to the floor.\u00a0 Each piece was unique, feminine, and a mix of modern and classic style that beautifully tied together two cultures that work together so harmoniously.<\/p>\n
