BEAUTIFUL!
Phunkafrique in my opinion is tired. She strtd well but nw,she nids mega inspiratn. Btw isaw sme models with red eyebrw! Kilode??
Nah man, I think she’s picking up again…
Jane where are your own designs? Put them out then you talk. Or at least make it constructive.
so you are saying Jane must have her designs to be eligible to critique a fashion show? that would imply that these designers are designing for other designer not potential buyers abi? you are soo off on that comment. abeg live and let live.
Gorg!!!! rock on Phunk afrique
hmmmnnn…….ok

Gorgeous designs, gorgeous models. Their best accessory, however is their smile. Models should definitely smile more!
Seriously, as far as designing goes, the only interesting thing about this collection is the fabric used. There is no edge to the collection and nothing jumps at you.
P.S
For all you who have a problem with criticism, you need to learn that its a part of the fashion/art business. If your stuff is not criticized you cannot learn or grow so please stop drinking panadol for another person’s headache!!! Typical naija attitude of not telling each other the truth!
lovely design!! thumb up!
nice fabrics..that’s all i see. it all reeks of Tiffany Amber’s flowy concept in my opinion. whihc is fine. i mean there are just tooo damn many designers, it’s hard to be original these days. copy copy make everyone shine. all you need is some clique of friends, start sewing and you will become a designer. nonsense and pounded yam
look get it into ur thick skulls fashion industry is full of plagiarism there’s no originality not even lady gaga’s brand is original. ur high street stores r copycats jane norman gives u marchesa for less, selfridges and co gives u big brands for less and oh asos is d chief copier…lol so plss allow us that like ‘original replica’ to appreciate it. u can get inspiration from other designers with a twist of ur own! i appauld every designer here in nigeria and all sukirat tailors that gives it to us for even lesser….lmao one love
Loving the length and and fluidity of the dresses. Beautiful prints and colours, what’s not to love? #thumbs up. Whenever I look at a collection I always think of how I can translate the looks into something that will work for me and I think that’s where style comes into play, it’s how you choose to interpret the look, I prefer to view fashion laterally.

In my opinion I luv luv everytin extremely nice and beautiful
woo i love this design its cool and sexy i will luv to try one those dress on
I miss the old Phunk Afrique. The fabrics are beautiful as usual. Hope she gets her mojo back or maybe she’s going with what is in trend these days which is long and flowy. I still love Phunk Afrique.
Great job I am always sattisfied with Phunk Afrique designs
Opinion: her stuff has a Tiffany Amber feel to them- which is a GOOD thing
good job!
Fantastic collections, Infact Nigerians are coming up.
i really like ds collection
i like mtn fashion week.hope 2 b da wit mtn
Dear Phunk Afrique, please get your phunk back ASAP!!!
these designs may not have that much edge but they are sooooooo wearable and thats what i like about them!…i can totally see myself in everyone of those pieces!
i don’t think these designs work for pple with some flesh. these skinny models are ok. but not a typical African. though the designs are lovely.
Thank you very much bukioni, its easy to critique any work of art; criticism is good, however i think that creative criticism is better. Style is relative, so making harsh judgement about a designers designing prowess is totally uncalled for. Its either it works for you or it doesnt, shikena. its shallow to compare …
I would soooooo wear all these!. Style edge is a bit blunt a.k.a. safe, but the fabulous fabrics make up for that!
nice collection.
Ur design ar not bad but u need to improve in your finishing and remember in your routine dat fashion isn’t about nudity
This is boring… Just long dresses nothing to write home about. As Lade said clique of friends. Abeg!!! All these people in Nigeria call themselves designers now! Did they go to fashion school? Can they sketch a drawing or better yet can they actually cut and sew? No people just feel because they are fashionista’s they should become “fashion designers” And then the price you pay for this over 12k when you can have your tailor sew the exact same thing for half price or even less. Rubbish and Pounded yam lol
allure!!! very sexy
I agree with Lade, don’t know phunk Afrique, but this is just plain boring!!! Total snooze fest!!! check our Sunny Rose abeg, Now thats fashion
I love this collection!!!!!!!! I love love the designs. Now, I’m just wondering if they can fit me without breaking the bank.
The dresses flow and hug ur curves at just the right places, I would love to rock one of these
Beautiful beautiful! absoluelt gorgeous! and soo wearable.
absolutely*
love her collection….love d 4th pic especially.
where’s THE AMAKA OOO???!!!
i really love phunk afrique and will support her anyday anytime,to be frank the dress in 7th picture is off project runway,but still on still,like what u did to the top to differenciate it.keep it up
the dress in the 7th picture is quite similar to the fabric from marc by marc jacobs sprill 2011 line — http://www.style.com/fashionshows/complete/slideshow/S2011RTW-MARC?event=show2182&designer=design_house58&trend=&iphoto=0#slide=0
Fantstic, That means fashion has come to stay in Nigeria.
Absolutely fabulous!! Kenyan gal loving nigerian gal:))))
Not a fan of her stuff. It has a my tailor sewed it fell to it. She should work on the quality of her fabrics and finishing.
* meant feel
