SD Fashion: Ankara Chiffon..Chiffon Ankara, Ankara Silk...Fashion Fabulouscity hits Nigeria and beyond...

Waje rocks Ayanski Chiffon Ankara beautifully in Zen Magazine....!

Last year a friend of mine and I talked about our dream of seeing African print in fabulous breezy chiffon and then spent a bit more time dreaming about the possibility of creating them in even more versatile fun fabrics like sequinned georgette and velvet etc ...We then took it a step further and had some samples made showing them to close friends, family and associates who  loved them so much that needless to say a new trend was born and as they say, the rest is history...

Ankara Chiffon or shall we call it Chiffon Ankara? (What comes first, the chicken or the egg??..LOL), Ankara Silk, Georgette, Velvet etc is now available and is quickly making waves in Naij and beyond and we've started spotting them on Fashionista designers across the board and its so exciting to see. Chiffon Ankara is just so much more versatile than traditional cotton ankara and with the current trend of iro and buba being worn in chiffon and silk combo, the timing couldn't have been better...
Imagine wearing a chiffon buba and a cotton or silk iro in the same or contrasting print as pictured below (last pic)...it's fashion fabulouscity time peeps..

A close up on Monash' top...

We love how she rocks her Ankara Chiffon Top  with traditional Cotton Ankara pants..the texture mix is super cool

Designer, Toks Opaleye of Opal Eye Accessories rocks her Ankara chiffon her way in a simple yet chic flowy dress

I rocked mine in traditional Iro and Buba in contrasting prints at African Fashion Week London 2013..*wink!
I absolutely love Iro n Buba..infact a lil' too much.

BBC London Crew...loved it too :)

The best thing about chiffon ankara is how designers have taken the trend on board creating the most fascinating pieces like the skirt worn by Waje in the current issue of Zen Magazine..I am personally excited about how the trend is catching on and knowing fashion savvy Naija..I cant wait to see how the trend evolves...

Chiffon Buba wih Pleated Silk Iro...with a ToTe Ankara Satchel Bag...Sweet!

With so many classic prints and exclusive prints to pick from, how would you rock yours??
Go on let your creative juices run wild....and when you do, do send us your creations we'll love to see and share...:).. African Fashion is truly evolving....

Happy New Year - Usher 2014 in With Ese by Kemie Kayode

Hello People,
It's been a looooongg time... :) Boy am I glad to be in a brand spanking New Year...Happy 2014 everyone! So I've been a lil MIA but trust me 2013 was one seriously hectic year, so hectic  it was impossible to blog. So I did the right thing and let it go..but here is to new beginnings..Seriously Doughnuts is high on my New Year resolution pick up list.. (Well, high enough..Number 5 is not bad right?)..lets just say Seriously Doughnuts is back..Yeaah I said it (again..Lol)...!!!

Naija was lots and lots of fun while it lasted but I'm back in London doing this and that but hey Nigeria remains on the menu shaaa (we'll see how that pans out)..Let's just have lots of fun this year and as usual nothing needs to be taken too seriously, just fun and games and what better way to usher in the New year than with  praise and thanksgiving to the One who made it possible for us..

Enjoy 'Ese' by Kemie Kayode  Nigerian born, US based worship Minister...I'm a worshipper at heart and I couldn't help but fall in love with the song by Kemi AKA Voicy and I am sure you will too.As we all look back on 2013, we have so much to be thankful for, too many blessing to count and if like me you had a hectic (mixed-up) 2013..I bet you are also just as grateful to have made it to 2014 alive and well..

Listen to Ese and thank God that we made it...Kemie's gorgeous voice and delivery certainly sets the tone for starting out the year with God...

Nigeran Born US-Based Gospel Singer, Kemie Kayode AKA Voicy

 Don't you just love her voice? Here is to a wonderful, prosperous and progresive New Year....Happy 2014 people...!!!
