Take a cue from the runway shows of Donna Karan, Rick Owens and Nicole Farhi. Lip colour for spring have an array of reds, oranges and browns. Go matte for a day look or plump it up with a shiny finish for a night time look. Rock all these shades like Alex Nwokedi. Products available at Sleek Studios in Lagos.
Scarves are a great accessory to try this season, you can either go retro with silk scarves or traditional with ankara print headpieces.
Silk scarves available at The Style Boutique

Here are some of my favourite looks from the designer Kola Kuddus - this collection reflects a cool, suave and understated love for fashion, a man who is composed and confident in his skin. Looking forward to his next collection.

The inspiration for this collection was taken from the silhouette of the Great Gatsby from the period of the 1920s. Silhouettes then, represented a lighter and free spirited time. This new collection modernizes the fashion of the roaring twenties by adding a burst of color using color blocking and intense vibrant prints.
Fearless Evolution represents the ajePomaa Gallery woman as bold and reborn, having evolved from her past self. The use of chiffon fabric represents a light and unrestraint feel, combined with bold complex wax prints, to show an explosion of vibrant colors such as canary yellow, heather grey, apple green, bright blue and burnt orange. This represents an intense evolution.
Adding soft detailing such as neck ties, knife pleats, and flowing silhouettes gave a bit of feminine panache to the collection; a contrast to the androgynous style of the Twenties era.
“Fearless Evolution” is the sixth pret-a-porter collection for ajePomaa Gallery with an affordable price range. Most of the designs come in different sizes ranging from a UK size- 6-20, to a US size- 2-16.
