Duchess, Nigeria’s premier luxury fashion retailer is starting a series of fashion incentives to place the Nigerian fashion industry on the international map. The store will be hosting clothing brand Issa, in an exclusive soiree, themed ‘The Issa Dress Party’. England’s princess-to-be Kate Middleton wore a long-sleeved silk-jersey dress by Issa when she and fiancé Prince William broke their engagement to the world, stamping the clothing label as a definite choice for royals and A-listers.

The Issa Dress Party will be holding at the Duchess Boutique on Ajose Adeogun Street, Victoria Island, Lagos on Sunday 15th May 2011.

Duchess boutique also stocks Badgley Mischka, Marchesa, J Brand, Paciotti, Baldinini, Marc Jacobs, Giuseppe Zanotti and other high street brands.
