FROM THE RUNWAY TO THE SIDEWALK.

Fashion in Nigeria has never been so amazing.Every envelope opening in Nigeria is like a fashion show.This i find, oh so alluring.The outfits barely leave the runway before my fabulous fashionistas have them on their backs.There's a misconception that Nigerian designer's are expensive and really don't sell.
I'm about to correct that.

NOLLYWOOD DIVAS.

I Love everything Nigerian.As a result , i cease any chance i get to show off how fabulous Nigerians are.Nollywood our Budding movie industry is great* and all.But i think the Nollywood stars are anything but great when it comes to Fashion.A lot of our Nollywood celebrities somehow never get it right.( Celebrity stylists* aren't exactly common around these parts.)
So, when a few of them get it right you know i'm going to be musing about it.So, with no further ado i present the best of Nollywood.

*story for another day.

Nigerian designer's jazz up ankara.

I have longed,to write a piece that would Portray the ingenuity of Nigerian designers.Almost every Nigerian designer worth he's/her salt,has an Ankara outfit in their collection.Gone are the days when Ankara was only used for bou-bou's[fuss free Tunicy gown's] or buba's[skirt wrap and billowy top].Ankara is now considered chic.Designers have revamped them into beautiful,flirty dresses,Uber cute shorts,jackets that could be considered classics in the future.
Here are some of my Favourite.
