MTN LAGOS FASHION AND DESIGN WEEK 2011: NO SHOW FOR OKUNOREN BROTHERS BUT MTN LFDW DID GO ON...

I love the medley of colours of outfits showcased by KoKe

 These days in Nigeria, fashion shows are expected to be of a particular standard and calibre and the MTN Lagos Fashion and Design Week (MTN LFDW) was not going to be any different. So, as expected, DAY 1 delivered the goodies just the way we like it, starting off with a video presentation by one of my favourite designers ; ITUEN BASI, followed by  MANGO on the runway( Yes o the retail outlet MANGO) and then,  Phunk Afrique, Xlamations! and Koke
I was personally disappointed that the OKUNOREN TWINS didn't show up..I love their work and was really looking forward to seeing their unique runway antics as they did at ARISE Fashion Week but hey, it wasn't mean to be...On the whole though, MTN LFDW was a great night out . It was lovely seeing all my favourite Lagos peeps so I got carried away gisting a little but here's a quick peek at what went down today..

Seats were filled to capacity 

MTN LFDW got an official Lagos stamp of approval as the First Lady, Mrs Fashola and
