                           Bolanle Olukanni

our first must see look is the gorgeous Bolanle Olukanni,  this look was fresh off the runway !!!
,guys we all know that she stepped up her fashion game last year and has since been dazzling us with amazing pieces, well this right here is one of such, she looks gorgeous in this see though dress with colorful floral patterns by Abuja based esigner DZYN, our best part of this gown is the exaggerated sleeves, we loved how she styled the look with just a simple nude sandals, simple ponytail and a simple nude Makeup, way to go gurl!!! 


                                           Yvonne Nwosu


#slayage!!! yvonne Nwosu of Vonne couture definitely lit up day 3 of fashion week in this metallic number. interesting part about this outfit guys is that it wasn't too much, we felt this look was simply chic and gorgeous. she styled this look with gold hoop earrings, gold shoes  and a black chanel bag with gold detailing.


                                                             Lily Afegbai


                     Lilian Afegbai

We absolutely love this outfit from the infamous elegantebyTiannahStyling design label, this yellow transformer set can be worn in different ways, as we've seen from their Instagram page. We absolutely love the cutouts and how this lady styled the look. Yellow is such a hard color to pull off guys,especially when you're styling the look with not black but yellow shoes. Kudos to her. It didn't look too much, love that she went for a simple  bun hair style. She looks beautiful.

Mariam Adeyemi  is giving us so much life with this chic and simple outfit. The color compliments her skin tone perfectly, we love this jumpsuit from fashion brand ElegantebyTiannahStyling ,she styled the look with  a white shirt and a simple slick back hair do.

LOOKS WE DISCUSSED

    sporty chic!!! I absolutely love this trend guys, and she definitely delivered on this, the only thing I might take away from this look would be those shoes, a single strap heel would have worked better. She rocked the look with and without the jacket, and both works. 

  • She has the perfect body for the midriff trend but for me this trend of mixing sporty pieces with a formal look would have made more sense if she didn't add the ivy park pieces both up and down like that, to really let the beauty come through she should have picked one of the sporty pieces or wore both pieces and loosed the jacket.

     

  • Ruth Otori

  • Ruth OtoriRuth Otori
    Fashion designer Elie Kuame, so basically his cap and slippers are similar to a Ghanaian traditional look.popularly worn by chiefs or more like sort of, someone royal. he designed the caps, I've always loved mixing traditional looks with other casual pieces so his look to me is like a casual royal affair.






  • Davisfierce SaniDavisfierce Sani  it seems like he will become a frequent on our worst dressed look
  • Davisfierce Sani

    Davisfierce Sani

    then he added the bag and those slippers, like

    really??

  • lol, the pineapple purse though,  the slippers is part of the concept he was trying to bring to life .it's a Ghanaian royal trad attire. if he probably styled the look like he did here on day 4  i think, it'd have been better

    Lace on velvet ?? hmm, okay , this is a case of individual pieces combined wrongly. again this is fashion week, yes we expect risky and edgy looks, but also creative and on some level relate able. now that lace top would have worked with  white pants in another fabric possibly linen for a palazzo style ,it's giving me that " Hawaii beach event" look. the lace top is manageable but that hat looks funny on this outfit .definitely not my favorite look for the night but not that bad either, he was giving us that retro vibe, only it wasn't executed well.





  • Davisfierce Sani

  • I actually really like this look, he looks very trendy and old school chic. From the hat to the lace top with the sheer sleeves and those boxy but very tailored to perfection velvet pants, he is giving me a blast from the past kind of vibe but with a major modern twist to it, thank God he stuck to this alone and didn't incorporate anything more which would have ultimately made it a little overdone or totally ruin the beauty of the look

  • Ruth Otori

    This guy in the gold color outfit lol his shoes... I think he is well on his way to a really good look

  • Davisfierce Sani

    Davisfierce Sani

    lol the guy in the gold look is Jordan Abiola, I know him through Instagram
    he looks good, he suit is by Emmykasbit.
  • Ruth Otori

    Ruth Otori

    Outfit yeah... The shoes, I don't know joor.... i'm on the fence with that one lol




  • Davisfierce Sani

  • Davisfierce Sani

    he sure knows and has style but he isn't completely thinking through his outfit choices



  • Ruth Otori

    Ruth Otori

    Yeah, he should have worn sandals tho
  • Davisfierce Sani

    Davisfierce Sani

    oh! yeah the shoes don't work for this look

  • I really think this his kimono  is a little too big and too long,
  • a little more fitting and sandals and I would be fine with it
  • Ruth Otori

  • yeah , its tooo big on him, we know that kimonos arent exactly fitted but this was definitely toooooo big. Then the red bag, like a freaking Santa clause bag. Where?! Did that come from biko
  • Davisfierce Sani

    Davisfierce Sani

    oh my God! I totally just noticed the bag
    he tends to go too extra and then ruin his looks,I actually like his friends look but would have preferred if he wore a trench coat to match his long fringe neck piece and not a blazer
  • Ruth Otori

    Ruth Otori
    You know, I swear I was gonna root for this look like an Africa meets Japan thingy with the mixture of the kimono and the kente he's holding, as for his friend the fringe detail on the dress  is gorgeous, i loved it. love the color as well and how he wore all black letting that detail do all the talking

    It's like I always say about Nkiru Animudu, who I call the queen Mother of Nigerian fashion.
    she always does the outrageous/crazy looks too
    but she always has the right amount of everything, nothing is ever too much that it ruins the entire beauty of her ensembles 
  • Ruth Otori

    Ruth Otori

    Nkiru Animudu my love lol,
    Stylishly  stylish, she is so the perfect example.

  • Ruth Otori

    Lol denrele is a drag queen already like we've always known that 

  • Davisfierce Sani

    Davisfierce Sani

    denrele has done it too much now that I have gotten over it
  • Ruth Otori

    Ruth Otori

    it's not as creative anymore, it's not pretty
  • Davisfierce Sani

    Davisfierce Sani
    I see him now and think... NEXT!!!
    I TELL YOU, he's lost the creative part and gone full on drag 
  • Ruth Otori

    Ruth Otori
    sometimes just tone it down
  • Davisfierce Sani

    Davisfierce Sani
    As in shock us and tone it down sometimes
  • Ruth Otori

    Ruth Otori

    I felt without the corset we might have made a head way, even in the drag,


  • Davisfierce Sani

    Davisfierce Sani

    Yeah and also the knee high boots.. like really?? In the first photo when he's just standing doing the fierce pose, the whole ensemble actually looks really nice but the minute he went Baam!! and popped his legs out, he just lost me there
  • Ruth Otori

    Ruth Otori
    it's not pretty anymore , drags are always channeling a celebrity Tina turner,
    Marilyn Monroe or someone lol
    like it guides them through
  • Davisfierce Sani

    Davisfierce Sani

    lol yeah there is always an inspiration but this has basically turned  into cross-dressing
