David Koma

One of my favourite designers is by far David Koma. His work is unusual and original, and just when you think its normal he throws in a splash of crazy. His designs come off quite futuristic and statement so he is defiantly on my best list. I think another really important thing is that although his designs are unique they are also wearable which is always a plus!

Africa Fashion Week

Wow! Its been ages since I've posted. One thing I realized is that I had not actually posted the pictures from Africa Fashion Week in August so this is a really late post :/ But yeah these are the outfits I showed, I actually opened the show for 2013 which was really amazing! The collection was called Monochain and it was created by me. Hope you like and please comment :)

GTBank Lagos Fashion and Design Week 2013 - Tumiila

Tumiila By Tumisola Ladega

So in August I travelled to Nigeria, for audition of the young designer of the year awards. I initially didn't think I got in because they didn't actually contact me till really late. Then half way through the master classes I received an email asking why I wasn't there so I was like OMG. So after all that I had to make a 12 piece collection some for the catwalk and some for the exhibition (i didnt sleep for like a week) , which for me was inspired by PLAY inc. All in all it was the best experience, I got to meet so many amazing designers, models and press! Like I still cant believe my clothes were on the same runway as Tiffany Amber, Tsemaye Binitie and Jewel by Lisa, its just incredible :D

In the end I didn't win the 4 million naira but still I am so gratfull for the experience :)
