I love the designs. Very original & I can see the point of view.
Being a fashion designer is not just about sketching designs because that can only get you so far.. Its also about managing a business. It definately helps to know how clothes are made and how to draft patterns & sizes because when u maufacture clothing, bags or shoes u have to be able to have the necessary specifictaions for your manufacturer/ contractor.

‘Addy’s defense of the Unsung Heroes of Fashion…. the tailors in the backroom and in the sweatshops(where they apply) who most of the time never get any credit for bringing the designers vision to light.

Errata you’ll be surprised at what some Suras can do with ‘their own vision’ and ‘anybodys’ for that matter. By the way some nigerian designers (with the exception of a few) don’t do any sewing or cutting so they hire and over see ‘sura-the-tailor’ to bring their vision and drawings to life. Correct me if I am wrong but I seriously doubt Ms. Lisa (or any other designer for that matter) did all the cutting and sewing herself. So do not underestimate Sura o, afterall before we young and trendy discovered fashion designing can be a career, it was the Suras at the street corner-shop that were clothing our mothers.

By the way it pleases me when a designer takes the time to learn and hone their craft by taking a year or some to go to fashion design school as some of our new breeds are doing… very refreshing… the more they do that the easier it will become for nigerian parents to say ‘ok ngozi you can go to fashion academy/eauty school and be a designer instead of Harvard to be a doctor’… (a stretch but y’all can feel me …ok this is comment #3…i’ve become moderator o…lol)

I honestsly dont think sura’ish tailors can get cuts, styles and fits down pact like someone who has an innate vision and passion for mod/couture pieces. & please dont mock us for being blind in the case we were, as was repeatedly said, the designer & pics dey emit FLAMES for ontop p.c.

Errrr.. blah blah blah or whatever your name is… calm down before you start raining abuses on anybody… the contact was not there earlier hence the inquisition. Anyways Bella thank for the info gurl… now go do what you do best and dig up for more… If you run out don’t hesitate to try the tailorents and Sura the tailor et al (new word for them/PC term–stylists) because they can be quite creative and ingenius with their styles and cuts…tee hee hee

I really like these designs. The only problem is that I am all the way in the U.S. & I don’t know where or how I can get my hands on these items. If anyone knows let me know.
