100 Years of American Fashion

100 years of American fashion in 2 minutes! 

I really like this video, and it's the 4th of July anyway so I might as well celebrate the country's fashion!

We need a Nigerian version! :)
Just in case you were wondering, I couldn't pick a favourite year. I just couldn't, I liked almost every year chameleon life. Lol
Maybe it's because the fit and flare cut is one of my favourites and it features in 1915, 1935, 1945, 1955. Hmm...

Here's a clearer picture from the fashion show, I went with my dear friend Sa'a.

Minimalist With A Twist

"A minimalist with a twist, she isn't boring with her simple style. Dressing simple makes Phuong feel more comfortable but she always has a statement item to make her outfit unique. 

That's the beauty about personal style, injecting that one thing that sets you apart from the rest of the world through your outfit. 

Not a heels girl, she says "shoes are something I can make a statement with but yet still be practical", Phuong is all about comfort. 

Her wallet must also be comfotable, the 34 year old believes in stretching her money. She's conscious about what she spends on and that's an intelligent way to shop. 

According to her, "The key is to buy what you need, invest in items that will stand the test of time""

The Aventure suit, Dior Haute Couture collection spring-summer 1948 

One of my fave from Patrick Demarchelier for Dior haute couture, he has more amazing pictures but I'm more drawn to this one at the moment, I've fallen in love with black and whit all over again. I've bought almost 5 new jumpers all monochrome print and I'm loving the houndstooth on that jacket, it's such a classic. See one more picture after the cut.

GTBank LFDW

Well hello there Friday! I almost didn't see you!!

Been so busy this week, but I thank God because some people are looking for work and things to do so I cannot even try to complain. 

As you all know I'm currently working at Xclamations as an in-house designer and we just recently showed our new collection at GTBank LFDW on Wednesday the 23rd. If you missed it I have all the pictures from our collection but I'm sure Bella Naija and the official LFDW site have pictures from other designers as well. I've also been for the different days so I'll update the blog with pictures from those but I've interrupted my scheduled posts for the blog to update you guys on my over all experience on the day of the show!
