Victor Anate, known widely as Vicnate, is a designer who channels Parisian haute couture influences into a distinctly Nigerian fashion voice. He began designing at fourteen and has since developed a label defined by sculptural elegance and emotional silhouettes that has been recognised by fashion royalty like Naomi Campbell.
He is being honoured for his breakout year. He received invitations to present at London Fashion Week, collaborated with Messika Jewellery for its twentieth anniversary showcase and designed for Asake’s all-female orchestra at his New York Red Bull Symphonic performance. These milestones signalled his arrival as a major creative force.
