Adebayo Jones is a London-Based Nigerian designer, his focus is primarily occasion/formal wear and wedding dresses. I like to think of Adebayo as a bespoke dressmaker. His designs are all about clean lines, expert tailoring and precision finishing. I luv his work and admire his resilience as he was one of the pioneering African designers in Europe. This fashion spread is from my fav magazine, True Love West Africa. ENJOY.
Clothes – Adebayo Jones
Model – Felicia Ogunkoya

Stylist – Omoyemi Akerele @ Executive Styling & Image Consultants
Location – My mechanic, Oga Basir’s workshop….LOL…Just Kidding!
Luv the red dress! I have to say that Yemi Akerele is a fantastic stylist….the location adds an unexpected element to the spread….I also luv the rusty, earthy tones and lights that the photgrapher used…….U know I luv to hear ur opinions! so what do u guys think?
Those red shoes are 78,000 NAIRA?!?…….LoL, WHOA!!!
Anyhooo, How come it took a SOUTH AFRICAN Magazine to showcase all this beautiful Nigerian talent?…..Where were they all this whileeeeee?!?………..
WOW.the shoes r expensive ooo.when they r not laboutins or manolos. location is great, concept nice, model is pretty. clothes r alright.
lol i know..the shoes are hella expensive….i like the model and the clothes are ok.

Abeg no toasting on the site MR kooldigest..lol
LOL @ no toasting, it seems Adebayo Jones is the best so far ooo….I think you have inspired me to do a post on fashion, never knew much abt naija fashion until bella naija and true love and thisday style/city people fashion/encomium style came into my life
Adebayo Jones – heard lots about him. Has a good profile here in the UK..Top Man
na wa oh. person no go fit ask a sista for number without another person thinking it toasting.. .LOL. anyways, its the world we live in… I just want a colabo with the sista (not on the bed oh)… see http://cooldigest.blogspot.com

Mmmhmmm “colabo” Yeah right!! LOL
psst..Bella!!! We don’t want to share you O…LOL
keep up the good work bella check out my blog I have updated it!
“Naijagirl”……What’s with the discrimination on ur blog? So if we r not bloggers we cannot comment?!?………LoL
really? I did not know that? what discrimination??:) let me know so i can fix it
sorry I have fixed it please post your comments!;)
im feelin the corset and skirt 100% and those red shoes..HOOTT!
o am digging the out fits– not sure that the model ‘sold’ it–seems like the clothes are wearing her– her features are very hard, rugged and defined that ther hair is just out of place. A bald look or a jagajaga hair style would have done more for the composition. Anyways that’s just my litte aside critique, the spread and whole get up is still dope sha…..does anyone know Mr. JOnes? please tell him to holla at me for a collabo
am not taking her away, am just trying to make some of her creativity rubb on me… haba! put me down oh, I no wear pant!
No be somebody wan colabo with Mr. Jones? abeg, Bella, what do you think? as innocent as a baby’s question..
cheers everyone!
I like the red top but that model……eesh, someone needs to sort out those poses…i’m cruel..
hmmmm
