Hudayya
An aspect of Nigerian fashion that sadly doesn’t get as much attention as it should is what the Northerners offer and Hudayya has chosen 2016 to cut through that.
Led by Huda Fadoul Abacha, Hudayya has being positioned as the face of bridal fashion in Nigeria; her latest achievement being the representation of Zahra Buhari as the perfect Fulani Bride in no less than four gorgeous outfits.
Huda has also trained a new set of fashion designers that should soon propagate her legacy as promised through each of their collection seen at their fashion showcase/graduation ceremony.
Also to Hudayyah’s credit is the fact that the focus on bridal outfits has not limited the brand to that niche. In every piece is a promise of a designer that can do more, if we only paid enough attention to ask.
Sisiano
Think frills, think the most fitting pants, individual pieces that always find their match in your existing wardrobe, pairs that will take you everywhere – then Sisiano is your bet.
His Desert Rose collection which debuted at this year’s Lagos Fashion and Design week is a testament to his appreciation and complete understanding of the feminine form. So much so that only he can take the brightest of colours – red – and the most flamboyant of detailing – frills – and create still create wearable and flattering pieces. The only other brand that gets away with this is Viktor & Rolf and that says a lot about Paolo Sisiano’s daring approach the simplicity.
