Yay! Finally my much talked about premiere contribution to Ovation magazine finally hits the Newsstands in Lagos and beyond...I used to say that I would retire from styling after I get to style my favourite fashion personality and ex-beauty queen, Nike Osinowo-Soleye..Errrm.I think I'm gonna do a Jay-Z ...let's just call it a working retirement..LOL! cos guess what my first task at OV was to style Nigeria's No.1 Fashion and Style icon, Nike Osinowo-Soleye and the current reigning Miss Nigeria, Oluwadamilola Agbajor with style assistance from Hauwa Mukan, BoFinni and Bola A. Thanks a million Chicx.
Makeup and Hair was by my favourite girl, Becks Buki Hair and Makeup and Photography was by the fabulous, Jide Alakija...Thank you so much for adding your magic.I really appreciate you guys and you know, I've got mad love for you both..

| I love the detail on this fabulous Ituen Basi dress.. |
What I loved most about the shoot? Nike Osinowo-Soleye is truly beautiful, her skin? flawess and best of all I worked with a team of true professionals...we worked about 10 hours straight but still we had a ball..it was a fabulously, fashionably mad day!
Special thanks to:
God Almighty for his continued inspiration and for making even my fashion dreams come true (He hears every prayer...)
Designer Ituen Basi for her amazing designs and for taking time out to create some fabulous designs especially for the shoot.
Tope Adeboye @ Duchess, Awolowo Road for opening up Duchess boutique for me to pick from their fabulous range of one-off designer pieces..(I was like a kid in a sweet shop...I love that shop!)
"Do grab a copy of Ovation Magazine to see the rest of the shoot and read the interview too..it's seriously enlightening..."
Nice work and good luck to you all on your professional journeys.
