As announced, Banky W was the host on the night |
The first time I heard about '
Music Meets Runway' coming to Lagos, I was super excited..Designers and musicians to feature were announced and Amber Rose (Eccentric model and Kanye West's Ex-girlfriend) was billed to Co-host with Banky W. Well that's what we all believed until Amber tweeted otherwise but in fairness to the organisers, the wrong booking agent had apparently been paid and unfortunately Amber was not going to be coming to Nigeria. As if that wasn't bad enough Darey's team released a press release/disclaimer stating he would not be performing at the event as publicised by the organisers but as disappointing as it all sounded personally, I had a good feeling about the show and
Seriously Doughnuts was going to be there regardless of all the drama ...
And guess what? It was well worth it.. Le Reve Events owned by Jennifer Olize ( daughter of veteran (Newsline) TV reporter/presenter, Frank Olize), certainly pulled off the event with little or no obvious glitches..(asides the really annoying African time start and Tiwa savage and Dotstar not performing)for a first time show it was quite good and even better it was super-packed!
There is sooo much we have to show you from the red carpet fashion to the collections showcased but I think we'll have to do this in phases but first a general pictorial run down and blow by blow account of what went down from 'SD eyes' on duty...
