Although it seems like a cliche – fashion revolves, the relics of the past are transported into the present and sometimes they ooze the most alluring retro charm!
Vintage pieces have made a dramatic comeback to the fashion scene with the “more is more” mantra in full effect. Model, Oyinda Yusuf brings her signature charm and energy to the photo story titled “Vintage Baby”. Wearing pieces by vintage retailer Elsie Vintage, Oyinda portrays a mix of ladylike and edgy personalities and unleashes the fierce in her with an array of neat and structured feminine silhouettes.
Check on it!
Elsie Vintage will be running a blog sale on the 28th of January, 2012.

Love the seagreen skirt. Wish it was full length. I love vintage collections. You either know how to work it or you don’t. Love this one!
http://www.stylebycesca.blogspot.com
lovely outfits, but there is no underlying factor that makes this a collection, it could be very well described as a bunch of nice vintage outfits i bought at a departmental store……. nice outfits, no theme.
Do you guys read at all?
hello but these is not a clothing collection..ELsie VIntage is an online store that sells Vintage Pieces.
the pics were weird, the only pic that was decent was the last one…different doesnt always mean cool people *eye roll*
Very beautiful photos
nice collection and checking out your site right away i love number 4 and 6 best…. http://www.maknisy.com.ng
This model is obviously an amateur, it shows through the pictures and she makes the clothes less interesting
I don’t like some of the shots but I really like the model! She looks like she’s a delight to work with. Her personality shines through the photos. I am tired of seeing “fierce” Nigerian/ black models. Sometimes you just want to see so much personality and energy!
The Model is pretty, I like her style. That being said, this is typical, overdone & totally cliche. Please get over it!! Nigerian brands feel you can buy ‘Vintage’ clothes or sew ankara, jack someone Else’s design, grab a camera man and start releasing collections left & right. Its a joke. A cigarette? Please step it up people. You need more than this to compete on an international level. The fashion industry in Nigeria is fueled by competing with each other, no real original ideas.
You -. This isn’t a “collection”.
gorgeous.
the model is GORGEOUS!!!!!!!! one of the prettiest models i’ve ever seen
collection or not, every photo shoot has a theme, and this has none. I’m not a hater, but i agree with designo’s comment. The competition out there in the fashion world is fierce and if ours designers genuinely aim global, they have to do much better. Nevertheless, there are some who really are good, but for some others, its just a fad. Back to these pictures, taking shots of a model in clothes is not an art, the art is having a vision, and interpreting it with clothes. there has to be a structure, a THEME as far as it’s a planned shoot and some some idle time at the studio. This is what we lack in almost every art in Nigeria NOLLYWOOD inclusive; ATTENTION TO DETAIL!!!
oh please stop with all the holiness!so what if its a cigarette?Half the guys in Lagos smoke weed,most ladies smoke cigarettes,stop acting like she’s doing something that is quite novel.Its called artistic license,free them joor!
anything vintage then im sure in
The model looks uncomfortable is some of the poses and bland in others. Some were okay though.
*quietly walking by* Hmmn…See bad belle!
nice
nice model
home girl, Oyinda, looks gorg.! I see bad belles
