Gayeon Lee ; A Presentation

When I received the invitation for Gayeon Lee’s London fashion week presentation, I was excited to see that there were going to have dancers and i wondered how the presentation would be.

It really was amazing and dreamy with ballet dancers doing this routine while the models walked, such a calm and transcending scene.

I really loves the shoes and the details on some of the garments.

To see more of Gayeon Lee ,head on to their Instagram.

Do you love this collection? Please share your thoughts.

DeWe DeWe Woman

I recently came across an Asian women’s luxury brand that creates such beautiful garments for women of all age and color.

Each piece has been carefully made with the best of fabric, detail and cuts, elements that would make you not sleep well at night if you don’t own one of these verstile and timeless pieces.

This was how I felt when I saw the DeWe DeWe garments. They are so luxe, and breathtaking.

I personally love clothes that are timeless, where you can wear them multiple times in different ways and they make you feel so beautiful and powerful.

I really do hope DeWe DeWe will come into the Nigerian fashion market as they sure have what we need.

See some of their new spring summer 2019 collection which just featured for the first time during London fashion week.

To see more of DeWe DeWe please go to their Instagram page to see more.

Would you wear their pieces? Do let me know your thoughts.

London Fashion Week 2018; Day One

This year’s London fashion week started on a very good note. I got invited to a number of runway shows and presentations as well as connecting with incredible creatives from the London fashion industry, Asian and African countries to mention a few.

There was some what of a uniform trend which I believe will soon become a cult for this season, a trend that a lot of designers have infused into their collection and will have us end consumers craving to be on the beat dress on- trend club for a while to come, this trend is the decontrusted trend. It is an infusion of different textures and elements together to make one garment and quite a number of designers came out with such amazing pieces.

WEN PAN spring summer 2019

This season’s trend has alot of floral dresses , puffy Victorian sleeves clothing, over size bags , patterned jackets and pants, loosely fitted clothes is the new sexy and the colors are going loud and proud as well from pink, to red, neon is also a hot trend this season.

I’m pleased to say I am ready for spring summer 2019… Are you?
