Designers: Jewel By Lisa's SS 2012 Vintage Love Collection

If you paid any attention to the ARISE Made In Africa Spring 2012 Fashion shows at NYFW, you would have noticed Lisa Folwaiyo's Spring Summer 2012 Vintage love collection. The lookbook is here and its as colorful and glamourous as it was on the runway.
The collection is described as "A time characterized by independence and growth, a time of change and promise. With the emergence of great novelists Chinua Achebe and Wole Soyinka and the development of musical genres highlife and afro-beat with the masters Victor Uwaifo and Fela Kuti danced and swayed to at soirees; a time when modern architectural influences paved new streets – this collection immerses itself in this time."
Its a blend of ethereal fabrics, ankara menswear and colorful pieces! As an avid fan of dresses, i must say the gowns are really calling out to me!

Check out this exclusive behind the scenes video of designer Lisa Folawiyo talking about the creative process behind the collection and preparing for the show! Check out more pictures at Style Pantry.

Fashion At The 2011 Headies

The Nigerian Hip Hop Awards were held recently and there were some hits and misses on the Red Carpet. My rule of fashion has always been "elegant simplicity". Most times when people try so hard to be edgy, they end up falling off the damn cliff. These looks capture my fashion mantra.

Sorry but there is no reason to wear a bomber jacket in Nigeria. I dont care if its sleeveless!



If you are wearing a "statement necklace", why cover it up with long hair? A pulled up hair do and a less heavy bag would have made this a stand out look. Love the dress though.

All pictures were fapped from Bella Naija.
