Hey beauties,

Welcome to Fashion week season

It’s that time of the year that you have fashion week put together by different organizers takes center stage. We have 3 major fashion week series that hold every year. As it is customary, the Lagos Fashion Week proudly kicks off first; it showcases all the talented fashion designers the industry has to offer.

Yours truly was at this year’s Heineken Lagos Fashion Week which held at the prestigious Federal Palace Hotel, Lagos. Most importantly, I think it takes its rightful place as the foremost fashion show in Nigeria.

I am a huge fan of fashion shows, just too much fun to go around. You don’t believe me? Click HERE to see

If you are by any chance a fashion lover and you couldn’t make it down. Trust me, you missed a lot. It provided an amazing platform for networking and inspiration.

I worked mainly backstage which for me most of the real action went down. After that, I also found some time to peek at the runway real time. The makeup looks were all keyed by the super talented Bimpe Onakoya.

The official hair sponsor for the event was Darling Nigeria . They made it a point of duty to glam up the hair of all the models in attendance.

To sum it up, this year’s event was indeed top-notch. In other words, it was lit beyond measure.
