Bunmi Koko previews debut Couture Bridal Collection & shortlisted for Retailer of the Year prize at the 2011 Scottish Fashion Awards

Bunmi Koko is a fashion brand that the BN Style team has followed closely since its launch. The label has transitioned from “one to watch” to a budding powerhouse fashion brand.
In September 2012, Bunmi Koko will be showing as part of the ARISE Magazine Collective Fashion Show at the New York Fashion Week.
The dynamic duo behind the brand, Bunmi Olaye and Francis Udom have a lot to celebrate. They have just launched their first bridal couture collection and have been shortlisted for the Scottish Fashion Awards Retailer of the Year 2011.
The award rewards the endeavors of a Scottish retailer who has led the way in innovative retail concepts, overall retail proposition, merchandising, marketing and brand image to life.
Francis Udom, CEO of Bunmi Koko says: “It’s a thrill to be recognised for our work like this, we’ve all worked incredibly hard at Bunmi Koko to launch the brand nationally and internationally”. Last year was an incredible rollercoaster year for us, but I think 2011 will be the year we really establish ourselves as a global brand.”
The Bunmi Koko Couture Bridal Collection is ethereal and romantic yet captures the high fashion element with intricate details, luxe fabrics and stellar finishing. We love…

Oh these designs are so beautiful!
thumb up
bridal collection? not for naija bride am sure
I dont see why not.
*shaking head* mba!
Maybe only no 3… Definitely not the others…
I can wear the third one.
Lovely designs!
now this is what i call—talent!!!
The only thing I don’t like about this is that there weren’t enough pictures. It’s obvious that some serious work went into these pieces. Loves it!
No 2 looks like a dream that would flatter even my size 16 figure, and what I love most is their uniqueness…I can almost feel like a bride floating on air! lovely, lovely…
Wow! I no fit shout. Wow!
Nope.
really good
Why are some of you so negative? Nawa….@ Tama why can’t a naija bride wear any of these?
cos they like lots of drama on their weddin day…busy gowns #justsayin
lovely collection. I don’t like how the shoulder pads come off on the last dress but the furry skirt is gawgs!
These are all beautiful- you can see the DESIGN in these dresses! However this model is worryingly thin, distractingly so in fact. I know the designer was going for the ethereal look but the young lady looks like she could die at any minute!
Lol. well, it did say ethereal… I think the waif-like/Kate Moss look is what d stylist was gunning for *shrugs shoulders, but as long as her BMI is ok, she is fine. You don’t have to see lots of flesh and she is petite anyway. #IMHO
now this is what i call—design!!!
well crafted pieces
refreshing….the Ankara madness on this site was about to put in a stupor
Great job,love d nos 3 design n style so so much.
Thumbs up.
Nice but is it made for people with Boobs and Bottom????!!!
justsaying!
well designed and unique
Well thought out…well executed….very good craftmanship here although I doubt that its for the traditional bride….I think the target market is very trendy, fashion forward…eclectic gals out there….
Love the first one!
Bunmi KoKo, go girl! So loving them, and congratulations on the nomination..
am definitely getting married to my hubby(dbanj) in wedding dress number 1. oh yes u are invited.
Make Aunty Genevieve catch you plus the thousands of chicks dying for him. I’ll pray for you to survive the wedding day lol….
I really like #1,Perfect for a Muslim bride
outstanding!
Nice, but 3 dresses is hardly a collection.
Nice….very nice.
love the dresses!the model has quite a big head though
Absolutely Stunning – i quite like ‘em – yum yum.
i loveeeee!!! now decamping form camp kosibah!
beautiful. loving it.
Lovely….Ethereal….the first dress took my breath away. Vey Goddess-like
