AKPOS OKUDU. SPRING/SUMMER 2009.

 I Really enjoyed working on this collection.Although there was a lot of rush involved; as my(original) photographer was constantly bugging me to round up.But i had loads of fun making these dresses. This collection called 'WHIMSICAL DREAMS' consists of lots of bright and fun colours,with touches of lace,frills,bows and ruffles ; which were my major inspiration.

 All the dresses have been named after strong ijaw women, afterall AKPOS OKUDU dresses are for women who are strong,elegant and confident; but still maintain their soft feminine side.  hope you like. xoxo Akpos.                                 l-r.the bibi,the serena,the ayi,which can be tied in 2 ways,as shown by the fourth model.
