Haiti 1

These are a couple of picture I took when I went to Haiti on the Royal Caribbean cruise. It was so hot I had to hold ice to keep cool lool which sounds pretty weird.

Backstage AFWL

These are some pictures we got just before the show of the models and line up. Suprisingly this year backstage really wasn't hectic at all but I think that's because the overall show was really organised and prepared. As you can see this is a mixture of two collections, one being Tumiila for play which was shown at GTB Lagos fashion week and the other being my current collection simple vs complicated which are all the black and white garment all made by me

Pure Tumiila

This is the outfit I wore for Africa Fashion Week, I decided that I wanted to keep it nice and simple so I picked the white top and shorts from the Tumiila for play collection. Which actually went really well with the colour of my new hair which is actually a rose gold/silver colour. I then paired it with some tan sandals from New Look which I would say resemble a dark skin nude which added to the natural light palette.

Jimmy Choo

On the 23rd of June I was honoured to receive the Bursary prize from Professor Jimmy Choo himself. This was granted for outstanding commitment and achievement in my studies (Fashion) in such a short space of time. Some of you know know I moved to at Arts specialist school in January this year to complete my Alevels, which was 4months behind the rest of my class mates as they all entered in September. However with the glory of God despite all the negative talk about the difficulty to catch up and achieve the grades my peers had got due to late timing. I was able not only catch up but SUBPASS the majority of people in my class producing work on a level that they could even comprehend, it really its just grace and thank God for blessing me with the ideas and devotion that won me this prize.

Also due to this achievement I have been given a place to showcase some of my stuff at the AFLW 2015 which is literally a testimony, because the last time I showed their was in 2013 in which I opened the show. Then ever since I said I wanted to show gain but due to education and other matters i was too busy. Then this year came and i wanted to show but I missed the deadline which really upset because it meant i would have to wait till 2016. But this came up so y'all should expect to see me there between the 7th and 8th of August.

Lastly I have had a lot of questions from the press asking what I will be spending the £500 on, and really I do not know yet but I am traveling to Paris in the Fall for fashion show during Fashion so maybe there, then I have changed my plans from going to New york in September till next year so we'll just have to see.

ps. don't mind my face I wasn't expecting an award so I didn't bother wearing make up lol.

Tumisola Ladega is Back!

I have finally finished school and I am back for a summer full of fashion and fun. Its defiantly going to be a busy one as I expect to do a a lot more style blogging, working on a new collection and hopefully an internship abroad. But anyways the return has come and I'm so excited. Also this is a photo shoot I had on the last day of school, the make up was by me and the photos were taken by Tofunmi Ladega. In these shoot I am modelling a chain wear neckpiece I created from my mono chain collection. Email for any orders or questions : tumisolaladega@gmail.com.

Wedding in Tumiila Trousers

On the 30/05/15 I attended a wedding in Holborn. But unlike any other I decided to spout some trousers for my Lagos fashion week collection 'Tumiila For Play' . I designed them with the inspiration of a  black and white staircase from one of my dads houses. I also inserted the picture into the post. I wore it with a black crop top that I purchased from H&M, which I think was a successful match because of the black elastic straps that match the shape of the pattern on
the trousers.

Top - H&M, Trousers - Tumiila
