Nigerian Designers At The Couture Fashion Week by spikedcylinder: 11:52am On Oct 05, 2009
The Couture Fashion Week was held at the prestigious Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City. In attendance were some of Nigeria’s leading fashion personalities like Betty Irabor, Editor-in-Chief and Publisher of Genevieve Magazine and Ruth Osime, ThisDay Newspaper. The stage was set and the first designer to display her collection was Lanre Da SIlva Ajayi (LDA).

Its couture na. tongue
I actually think LDA's designs are stunning. In the Fashion scene, she comes a distant second to Deola Sagoe.

Don't mind max jare, she's usually jealous of shine shine. grin

Zizi's designs are more realistic (and maybe more aesthetically pleasing for Max tongue) but considering the fact that Couture Fashion Week displays luxury couture items, I think most of her designs are fail.

That's the very idea of couture, unrealistic but creative fashion. They were not made for pret a porter.
I like LDA jor! You should see some of her regular designs. Lemme look for them for you.

LDA's display is interesting.

You just spoke my mind.

I don't know why they call all these fashion, sincerely, they are simply not fashionable.
Re: Nigerian Designers At The Couture Fashion Week by gamechange(m): 3:36pm On Oct 08, 2009
@muneer2 et all

You are missing the point, fashion shows are about edginess, uniqueness, pushing the boundaries of what is norm, its that creativity that people are applauded for. Typically what is then available on the high streets are very toned down or slightly similar versions of these creations.
Lets learn to appreciate what these guys do, they effectively determine whats hot and whats not.
