Favorite Looks From HLFDW (Heineken Lagos and Fashion Design Week)

Hey fashion lovers!!!! our verdict is in!!! here are our top favorite looks from the just concluded Heineken Lagos Fashion And Design Week...  

day1

and yes , you guessed it!!!! Vonne Nwosu of  Vonne couture was definitely our best dressed for fashion week , she slayed in four memorable outfits back to back and possibly started a trend. we absolutely loved all four of her looks.
 Day 1 she came in a very popular African traditional style  "iro and buba", the style was in a colorful orange and blue floral print fabric, she styled this look with a cute pair of orange sneakers, We love this look, the color mixture and the idea of mixing a traditional look with sneakers, it gives the look that extra feel of edginess or else it would have been a basic iro and buba look with a slit lol and oh I also loved her hair.. I mean my my look at it and of cause she designed what she's wearing VONNE COUTURE
day 2
 Day two the beauty came in a white long sleeve shirt that she tucked into a white see through skirt, she came looking fashion week ready in this number, I loved the element of surprise with the the skirt.She paired her look with clear glasses frames, white sneakers and a black purse.                                                                                                                            

day 3
Yvonne definitely slayed on day 3 of fashion week in this metallic number. The interesting part about this outfit is that it ultimately wasn't too much even with the bold monotone hue, this look was simply chic and gorgeous and she looked every bit a star,she styled this look with gold hoop earrings, gold shoes and a black chanel bag with gold detailing which are all available at VONNE COUTURE

day 4    

 Finally on day 4 she came to slay with a blue jean jacket, a red rose bud inspired crop top paired with a black skirt that featured rose detailing as well as a side pocket and black socks with purple shoes , she killed it and we could literally imagine people stopping to stare at her because who wouldn't look at this twice? Lol and I am crowning her as THE BEST DRESSED LADY at fashion week 2016. Outfit from VONNE COUTURE

                                                                                                                           


Denola Gray                                                                                                                              
Our second favorite look of fashion week  is fashion blogger and tv host , Denola Grey, every outfit he wore was absolutely dapper. we loved the fitting of all his outfits. he looked effortlessly smooth!!!
 Denola  joined the LFDW 2016 fash pack on the day 2 and boy did he bring it!.. He wore a brown wool two piece suit by JZO, he paired his suit with a shirt he describes as his dad's Mandela shirt pinned into a tunic and brown shoes by JESU-SEGUN LONDON and dark sunglasses by DAPMOD,
We loved his neck pieces, the unbuttoned sleeves of the shirt basically we loved this outfit.


And then in Day 3, he came in this amazeballs tuxedo jacket by FRATRESCLOTHING that was belted on his waist, he paired his tux with white pants, white shirt, a printed scarf around his neck , shades and black shoes. He's been rocking these belted at the waist blazer looks for a while now and he sure knows how to work them, he is one who obviously knows what works for his body and so everything fit him like a glove.. he looked picture perfect.


And for Denola's last look to the day 4 of fashion week he came to slay head to toe in an ORANGECULTURE number well except for his shoes lol

Urgh!! The blast of purple everywhere, those short pants, his neck pieces and again with the unbuttoned shirt sleeves, We loved this so much ,it almost beat his first outfit hands down but we still love that one more lol even though he's shoes were blue, they actually worked really well with the purple hue of his ensemble... this is what you wear to shut down fashion week... we love, love his fashion week style and we are am crowning him as THE BEST DRESSED guy at fashion week 2016.

Akin Faminu

Akin Faminu is like the poster boy for men fashion, he's got the swag ,the body to pull off almost any look . we loved all four looks , except for the aldo chelsea boots he wore for the military inspired look on day 3. now the shoes are cute , but we felt the pants should have been longer or slimmer , then it would have worked better. however, we can get behind that because the outfit gives us sooooo much life.

except for stephanies day 4 look we loved all her outfits to fashion week , especially day 2, that outfit right there had "style" written all over it, it was something out of the box.

... also guys there was someone we noticed during the fashion week , he's a fashion rebel and we love that about him . he comes up with lots out of the box concepts  and the rules don't  apply to him. Except that most of his outfits are not thought out correctly and just needs a little tweaking.
we've got our fashion goggles on him though.

day 1

Day 1 he came in a white mesh/netted top that he paired with pink pants, while some people may have an issue with the color, we actually do not mind this because obviously he has an androgynous style, so it is well within his style jurisdictions lol. What we do mind are his sandals ,we ain't really feeling them ,maybe a pair of white sneakers or flat shoes would have worked better for  but we do like that his bag is black which kinda balanced the look.



day 2

Day 2 he wore another mesh/see through outfit , now we do like this look, love his hat and the stuff on his face but we feel as though wearing the see through both ways wasn't so great. His pants should have been solid material all through or the solid part should have been equally as long as the netted part and then what's with the huge scarf over his shoulders? lol and then he added the bag and those shoes... there was no balance with this outfit everything was full on dramatic and a little too outrageous but then if he didn't do that we wouldn't be talking about him ,would we? Lol


day 3

And then there was day 3 ..Oh Lord!! He wore this white kimono that featured a kente material attached to it at the waist line ,he paired this look with green sneakers and a confusing red Santa clause ish kinda bag lol.. We mean c'mon.. this could have been perfect... This is when he should have worn the white sandals first of all then loosed that outrageous bag lol and this would have really been a moment. 

We honestly love the whole creative aspects of his looks but he sure goes a little too extra and tends to ruin the beauty but still the fact cannot be denied that he knows fashion and is a style star in his own way.
