House of Ferrah Couture Fashion Week 2011

House of Ferrah presented a very festive collection with concentration on only three colors: black, gold and red. It felt a little bit like christmas to me. A lot of gowns were tight on top and puffy towards the floor which we saw also with the previous designers. Some of the shorter dresses were wavy on the buttom. Compared to the other three shows before I would say that this collection was more on the classy side.

Berrys Couture on Couture Fashion Week 2011

Berrys Couture show started with some African music and I felt transfered into the rainforest for a moment. Very interesting and diverse collection. I saw a lot of balloon skirts, lots of caro pattern, a mix of gowns, cocktail dresses, pants, skirts, all colors, really everybody could find something to like. And even (like my son called it who joined me this time at the fashion show and actually gave quite some good feedback) a strawberry dress :) Very cute like out of a fairy tale and then with some other dresses I felt like beemed up from Scotty into space. Check out the pictures and see yourself:

This is the 'strawberry dress' as my son named it. 

Scotty, beem me up

Ups, this was a little too much exposure but I guess, it is supposed to be that way.

House of Jola - Couture Fashion Week 2011

The second show I saw at Couture Fashion week was from designer Joan Okorodudu aka House of Jola from Nigeria. Joan was Miss Nigeria Kaduna zone and Miss Nigera 1st runner in 1981 next to being a designer. Definitely a VERY colorful collection. We could see a lot of summery colors like pink, green, yellor, purple, orange and many more with a lot of quillings, sequined fabrics with different patterns, long and short dresses, very intersting. Sometimes I felt like back in the old times in New Orleans with the style of long dresses. What was weird though that the three male models she had were simply dressed in jeans and a summer shirt and running around with a paper bag. I did not really get what that was supposed to mean but anyway. Have a look yourself.

I saw some really crazy shoes (see on my Facebook site). Amazing creativity. Unfortunately, one pair was really difficult to walk on the model actually almost fell. Poor thing.

Designer Reedas' 2011 Fall Collection at Couture Fashion Week

Today, I attended Couture Fashion Week to see four beautiful designers from Nigeria. I was very curious to see their style of fashion. The show started with a live performance by singer Angeles Dominguez who has a beautiful voice. The first fashion show was presented by designer Reedas. She showed a very colorful collection with all different kind of fabrics like satin, chiffon, crep and many more and definitely a lot of quillings. Most of the gowns were very figure emphazised and even though all colors were lined up the designer chose mostly only two for each design. Have a look.

Alisha Trimble Fashion Show

I attended the Alisha Trimble Fashion Show on Thursday. The theme for the hair and make-up of the models was animal style. We saw some 'horns' and wild eyes beautifully done by Make-up artist Wenya Chang who did a lot of fashion shows this week and is also an artist at Fuse TV. Alisha brought out a nice mix of short and long dresses, hip and elegant. You can say anybody can find her favorite outfit here.

I had a nice conversation with this gentleman whose style I really admired and had to take a picture. He even gifted me a bracelet that he just purchased that same day. How nice is that? We just met.

Michael Kors Fashion Show

The video of Michael Kors fashion show was posted today by Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week on Facebook and I have to say I really really liked Michael's collection. You see a lot of long dresses for the women in colors like black, brown and beige with some nice visable effects on the back and the men are wearing long coats with turtle necks underneath. Very chic and elegant collection, totally my style, I love it.

Narciso Rodriguez Fashion Show

Wow, I just saw the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week clip of Narciso's show and those coats are just breathtaking. I love his style. He actually designs clothes that you can wear. Michelle Obama showed good taste by choosing him as one of her favorite designers. I have to admit that I first learned about him by his Perfum line a couple of years ago. It's my favorite perfum. To see the show go on Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week page on Facebook and see the clip.
