Lagos in the summer!

Lagos was gracious once again, as it played host to our summer show. Of course, this was a show with a difference as we unveiled our young desingers creative competition, which serves to foster creativity in the design sector in Nigeria. I never cease to point out how i started with a competion myself, Nigeria unfortunately hasn't a facilty like the Prince's trust; not until recently.
It was refereshing to see all those ideas displayed as the up and coming showed in Lagos. Perhaps even more important, was the emphasis of mentorship in our society; or even a lack of! One can only hope, our little contribution will affect a few lives.
On a lighter note, it is quite clear to see that the elegance of the Nigerian woman has no match. Off all ages, their style is peculiar to their own. This was evident as the Ita-Giwa's, Helen Ajayi's, Mrs Ovia's and Mrs Tinubu's swept in! Each holding their own. I am delighted the show was well recieved and look forward to doing another very soon.
