A good story, if told in the right atmosphere, has a lot of impact. This underlines the power of the environment. We often thrive in an environment that gives us the freedom to thrive. That’s something Lagos’ fashion streets are proud of. The celebrities, style influencers and fashionable girls next door all have the same attitude towards fashion—originality and an inability to settle for the basics. Everyone takes from their arsenal the weapons for murder and precise execution in true Naija celebrity style.
The star girls may have been in different parts of the city, but they tied in with the theme of individualistic expressions. Usually the knees were outward. Minidresses paraded in satisfying silhouettes—from office-ready blazer dresses to elaborate birthday ensembles. The tailoring was sleek and had a reputation for elegance. Indeed, looking like a trust fund baby takes a lot more than a little work.
