THE NFB AWARDS: RECOGNIZES SUCCESSFUL NIGERIANS IN THE FASHION INDUSTRY
The NFB Awards is an event which has been set up by the Office of the Nigeria Fashion and Beauty to anually celebrate the best  of Nigerian fashion designers (in diaspora) and beauty related success and accomplishments amidst celebrities and personalities within the industry. The event usually includes fashion exhibitions, cultural displays, the best of Nigerian music and traditional dancers and ofcourse award presentations.
The event will be hosted on Friday May 27th 2011 in the city of Houston – Texas, USA by the Founding Fathers Incorporated (FFI). Founding Fathers Incorporated (FFI), backed by the full faith and credit of the Nigerian community will recognize and honor 12 Nigerians in Diaspora who have been working generously to promote our ethnic fashion values at the 4th edition of the annual event.
These prestigious NFB awards will be shared amongst stake holders in the dynamic fashion and beauty industry namely Fashion designers, Style analysts, Fabric merchants, Hair stylists, Fashion boutiques, Accessory designers, models/modeling agencies, Make-up artists and other beauty industry insiders, Fashion and entertainment enthusiasts.

As the nomination criteria for this award remain stringent, the award becomes difficult to obtain for all but the socially prominent figures. Simply put, only a select group of people who have positively influenced the Nigerian fashion scene will ever carry the NFB Awards Trophy. It instantly identifies them as mouthpiece for the fashion industry, and most importantly their names will be written in the annals of Nigerian fashion as supporters and promoters of its great ideals.
The 2011 award night is envisaged to be an evening of music & dance, high fashion, beauty.
Sizzling side attractions include stand-up comedy, dinner, cocktail/champaign receptions, various fashion show, cultural displays, traditional dancers and much more.
This year’s event will also witness the investiture of four Nigerian women as fashion icons of all times.

It is a highly anticipated event for all involved in the Nigerian fashion industry and its ever faithfull onlookers.
