Femme Fetale- Lace Colour Sheer Print Pleats Texture!!!

This words are not normally found in the same sentence. i can imagine you thinking, isn't this a bit much at the same time but i bid you not to be scared, our uber fab naij designers lisa folawiyo and deola sagoe have managed to make this work in their different ways.

I'm fascinated by lisa folawiyos latest collection ''global minimalism'' what an ironic name, there is so much colour in this collection, 

it takes me back to ituen basi's summer collection for 2010. this collection is not for the faint hearted as it is bold. i normally am up for the 50's/ 60's look where feminity was highly embraced. this collection has incorporated sheer, print and colour in ways only a creative person could pull off.

on the other hand, Deola Sagoe has taken a darker approach to this trend incorporating texture creating a stronger look for the trend.

PLEATS PLEATS PLEATS
i'm loving pleats now, they are fun and flirty. you cannot not look like a woman in them except well......... lol! back to my point.

full skirts are girly and fun, you could either dress them down with a tshirt, formal it up with a blazer or retro them out with a chiffon blouse. (btw babushka does amazing longsleeve chiffon blouses)
