Drawing inspiration from a trip New York, the designer says “Everyone has a New York story – that city that takes you in and makes you see things through a clearer lens and allows you to exist in your most creative element. You find inspirations everywhere – the subway, waiting to flag a yellow taxi, in line to buy a snack. It’s such a vibrant place that fills you up with so much excitement.” More Articles You Would Love VIDEO: Rihanna Show’s Wanna Be Models How To Really Work The Runway Fenty Style Nigeria’s 2207 By T.Bally Drops A Look Book All Women In Leadership Would Love The collection keeps the labels wearability while using more luxurious fabrics. Essentially simple and feminine silhouettes in print and embellished fabrics are made more interesting by modified hems and peplums. The name change is as a result of this shift away from the informal model formerly in place where client would bring in fabrics to the label for designs to suit their taste, the designer explains, “The brand has stepped into the realm of more luxurious and sophisticated fabrics, to mature cuts and aesthetics and overall, more intricate detailing.” Photo Credit Photographer: David Otokpa (@DavidOtokpa) Makeup: Ese Akhetuamen Models: Precious John (@Precious_John) and Joyce Chidebe (@Jade_Zi) Creative Direction: Onyinye Fafi Obi (@OnyinyeFafiObi) For more information on the Funke Adepoju brand, send an e-mail to: [email protected] | Follow Funke Adepoju on Instagram:@funkeadepoju | Call: 08033069807 Source: stylevitae.com african fashionafrican fashion designdesignerfifth avenuelabelnigeriaphunke afrique Share FacebookTwitterPinterestLinkedinWhatsappTelegramEmail Abigail Oluwakemi I'm a fashion stylist turned blogger, I hope you love my work.
