Aviation has had quite a blend with fashion during the Lagos Fashion week.
The week gave Business Aviation firm, Vivajets, the opportunity to showcase their newly designed outfit for its crew members on the runway.
The firm was a sponsor and a participant at the Lagos Fashion Week 2024, a development that duely reflects the fusion of luxury travel and high fashion.
At the event, Vivajets unveiled its new cabin crew attire, created by renowned Ivorian fashion designer, Loza Maléombho, who designed Beyoncé’s outfit in the ‘Black is King’ musical drama.
According to CEO, Chukwuerika Achum, Vivajets shares some values with the high-class fashion, such as luxury, exclusivity, elegance and creativity. This informed the partnership with Loza Maleombho and the company’s sponsorship of West Africa’s foremost fashion event.
“With a growing fleet, global routes, and an expanding customer base, we have made a bold statement with our brand by appealing to the young, urbane and stylish. Our Loza X Vivajets collection reflects our connection with Africa and we are proud of this heritage.”
Vivajets offers a comprehensive range of services including aircraft charter and management, fractional ownership opportunities, and aircraft sales and acquisitions. It is a brand under the Falcon Aerospace Limited group alongside digital booking platform, Charterxe; and charter per seat platform, FlyPJX.
“Inspired by the inspirational features of the African Kinkeliba tree, this collection reflects luxury, elegance and the African heritage,” said fashion designer, Loza Maleombho, who flew in from Cote’ d’Ivoire to participate in her first Lagos Fashion Week showcase.
Loza Maléombho is a high-end African designer brand that combines African aesthetics with contemporary fashion. The brand emphasizes unique design elements and craftsmanship rooted in African culture. On Friday night, her models strutted the runway in the aviation crew outfits.
“When you are thinking about traveling you think about freedom, self-discovery and self-healing and I designed the Vivajets cabin crew uniforms within that context,” she said.
According to Vivajets’ Chief Operating Officer, Tejumade Salami, this eclectic fusion of aviation and fashion is the epitome of creativity.
“Currently we do business in several places around the world but we are proud of our heritage as an African company and committed to business connectivity with and within Africa. We are excited about the fashion collaboration and our participation in the Lagos Fashion Week.”
