UK X Factor Finalist Rachel Adedeji For HVS De Luxe Collection

HVS Blog recently released its highly-anticipated cover in celebration of the newly launched HVSblog.com. Rachel Adedeji, a former UK The X-Factor finalist, poses for the cover of HVS Blog in HVS : De Luxe Collection. For her feature, Rachel represents why HVS started – to inspire the modern day fashion-forward woman with chic use of rich fabrics and fine detailing. Gazing confidently at the camera Rachel wears a unique sapphire sequin tulip skirt dress, with chandelier earrings.

Bukola Are, Creative Director, Founder and Designer behind the HVS De Luxe Collection, equally shares her excitement for Rachel appearing on the inaugural cover; “Such a shinning star she is , I enjoyed working with her .Amazing work ethic, I am honored she posed for HVS” -Bukola

Although her claim to fame is her appearance on The X Factor, Rachael has gone to not support the latest in African fashion but also focus on her true passion -being a talented singer/songwriter. Rachel plans to release her independently-release record Follow The DJ. 2011 is truly her year to shine and we couldn’t agree more with Rachel’s musical ambitions!

      I really like x factor. That’s what I watch when I’m in Uk. I love the jacket in the first picture btw and I think she looks really pretty. I love the subtle make up.

      Cool.

    • Anon September 2, 2011 at 1:08 AM

      Why do nigerians like to revive the careers of failed stars? I can name a few but i’d rather not. Also the make up on Rachel isn’t fab neither is the weave (not hating, just observing o)

    • Flo | Nigerian Recipes September 2, 2011 at 11:20 AM

      This girl has a powerful voice. Sure she will go places. Looks so much like Rihanna :)

      • cuz-cuz October 2, 2011 at 12:55 AM

        er “…looks so muck like Rihanna” ??? pure jokes this individual looks nothing like Rihanna. Also concur with the above comment about the whereabouts of the said “sapphire sequin tulip dress”
