Good old fashion rant
you can't argue to truth to these words. i remember a few months back a designer updated her facebook page saying she contacted a known Nigerian website on featuring her designs and they dismissed her designs as regular and sometime later after she had been featured in the british elle magazine, they contacted her saying they now understood her aesthetic. the main issue here is they saw value in her work after international approval. of course it is not uncommon in countries specially developing countries to appreciate a work more because of international recognition. but is this really right.
it is amazing that as our fashion industry is developing so is the politics within it growing. it is sad how we don't want to appreciate our own, negativity is in every corner of the industry, we are quick to criticise a questionable work than we are to appreciate the good ones.
i think for Nigeria not only the fashion industry to develop properly. we need to be more mature in our thinking and be more supportive of our nation as a whole. there is a whole lot more to be written but i'll keep this short by saying be Nigerian not only in your international passport but by your actions and thoughts. the power to move this country to the next level lies in our hands..

Maju L'amour Collection Launch
The Maju event which held at ember creek yesterday was packed with shoppers just like their le petit marche stall. its good to see Nigerian fashion taking interest in the hearts of many young people. The mc of the event was Mofe Duncan of peak talent hunt show and media coverage of 360 nobs and WOTN (we own the night).
The Exhibition
I.N.O
they deal with jewelry making and also make custom jewels
my favorite
cheetah skin slingbacks |

Of course I copped myself a maju bag (it was the last one of its type, lucky me) as well and carrot pants.
