Noticeable Features at the LFDW 2013- Custom-Made Prints

Designers in Nigeria are doing everything humanly possible to notch up their game to meet and possibly surpass world fashion standards.

Gone are the days when designers relied solely on Daviva, Vlisco, High Target and the rest of the makers of African prints popularly called Ankara to make outfits, these days beautiful pieces of customised prints are daily churned out by various designers, making it possible to have both an exclusive design in a exclusive print too! isn't that good news??? To me it is!
I remember vividly a jacket made from Ankara by one of the top designers in Nigeria (lipssealed on the name of the designer)  in a particular African print, the print was as ubiquitous as mosquitoes in water logged area in an under developed country and to top it all, the boyfriend blazer was about N30,000!!!
At this year's Lagos Fashion and Design Week, I was impressed the large quantity of custom-made prints in all types of Fabrics.

GTB Lagos Fashion & Design Week 2013: Xclamations!

 Xclamations blew me off at the day 1 of the LFDW2013. I sat there and I totally forgot that I was meant to put down notes for my blog on each designer. These designs inspired me and straight away I was able to come up with a few designs of my own.

Xclamations brought her A-game; couldn't have expected less anyway. She designed well tailored pieces that could easily become your wardrobe favourite, nothing ridiculous but still with desired cutting edge. She worked with all sorts of fabrics from silk to lace to cotton etc that has left me covetous since that day.lol

My love for Xclamations isn't just about the designs but also designer-Mrs Tomi Rotimi. She's such an affable, pretty, ever smiling woman and my God! She's so humble.
