The much talked about Arise Fashion Week 2011 kicks off today in Lagos with the accreditation of the press at Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island. Several newspaper and magazine reporters, photographers, TV presenters and bloggers came for the accreditation, which eventually was delayed due to what an official described as hitches.
Journalists arrived the Federal Palace Hotel, venue of the accreditation as early as 9. am and were told to wait till 2 P.M. News later came that that the people that were supposed to be in charge of accreditation were yet to arrive. Newsmen started dispersing in the afternoon and were told to come back the next day to collect their accreditation materials. Gistmaster later gathered that the accrediation was later done at a time when most people had left.
