Christie Brown is one of the breakthrough African designers who have a rising Pan-African and international profile as well as a devout group of fashionistas fans.
At the 2012 Arise Magazine Fashion Week in Lagos, Christie Brown presented a collection which the designer Aisha Obuobi christened “XUTRA“. Click HERE to see the runway presentation.
Months after that showing, we get to see the collection amplified via the lookbook. There is something about the sleek styling and presentation here that ramps up the ante of this collection.
Check on it.
All so beautiful.
The only person that deserves props os the photographer.
The model is weird with her head always down, almost like she is ‘trying’ to do the effortless candid shot…
The clothes are bleh! except for the mini coat dress… This strappy design thing wih ankara is PLAYED out. We’ve seen it with Ituen Basi and Dionne Mauve before abeg…
I think the model knows she doesnt have strong facial features so she tries to hide it and uses her body language.
Uhmmmm tweeter ” U iz a HATER!!!!!” designs are lovely……
I love every piece. Finishing is key and she nailed it. Very beautiful collection and even a more beautiful presentation.
wow!! nicceee
beautiful beautiful beautiful i love it
Very nice clothes but am not feeling the model!!!!
R u wearing the model or the clothes? The clothes are beautiful, the model does an excellent job showcasing the collection. Bravo!
I think the strategy is to have the model sell the clothes, not her face, or makeup.
I think she does her job flawlessly. Look at the pics.. do you focus on her? or what she’s wearing.. even down to the accessories.
absolutely loves it. the model brings the clothes to life!!!!
Eve,ur outlook is fine but?no take fashion lose ur pride as a woman

Lovely classy pieces and I dig the model’s looks too. Ive got to step up my weight loss game so i can give iya Ruka my tailor the pic of my fave piece to knock out for me ; )

Love, Love, Love!!!

What do you want to feel about the model? Free speech ..eehh or something to moan about?? Great collection.

A suggestion though, the model’s feet are not the best looking(whose is?LOL) so you might want to keep it out of sight or give her an excellent pedicure.

these pieces are soooo lovely. i like, i love, i want!!!
For all those complaining bout d model, please look well. it was def a conscious part of the shoot for d model not to look it into d camera. Think she looked into d camera just once.
I like the fact dt its different.
and i personally love d models hair-do. Looooooove it!!! kudis to whoeva did it!
Lovely collection and d model on point………Naija pple y una like to see fault every time ??? *eyes rolling*
WoW! I must say she’s done a great job! Love the use of prints and fabrics! Excellent!

Every collection is on point. The model as far as I’m concerned has on of the hottest bodies. I love her poses. I enjoy every bit of the shots.
I know, I know thou shall not covet thy neighbor’s goods… But I want!!!!
FANFREAKINGTASTIC!!! TALENT ABOUNDS IN AFRICA, JARE!
Exactly my thoughts. Wowzaa!!

Lovely!
Very unique. I like!
I love every piece. the model just stole my heart. *my tailor as some work to do*
Very beautiful and wearable.I loved evry peice
I rarely comment on designers.. but this is really nice
I adore every piece of this collection. Everyone of them is wearable. so cool.
Screaming my heart out and having “headache”the best I have seen ever,luv every damn piece,if I wear dat green panty,no one dare touch it! Clean and smooth skin model,what cream is she using??
loves it
Model on point,collection on point.
I don’t see anything wrong with the model. I think it’s intentional holding her head down and to the side. As a matter of fact her best profiles are the head turns and down. These really bring out her sharp features.
I love the collection, and the pictures are beautiful quality, however i wish the director would choose a better background/environment to better the shots to create a perfect shot, the garments and model look lovely, but its not complete because of the scenery!! Good work christie brown
I love everyone of them esp the green pants.
I love every piece, the model wears it well. I just hope it will look that good in person. The model has those strong features perfect for modeling. Her skin is beautiful.
While accepting that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but more importantly acknowledging the fact that i cant even create a strand of hair, I say the model is hot, hot, hot. Nice clear complextion, toned body and the clothes are beautiful. Great job as always Aisha.
lovage!!
I would wear every single piece!
The designs, the cut and fit, the finishing, the delivery. Beautiful.

where and when can we buy it. Also what is the price range??????? beautiful
Breathe taking! The model had an unsusal look which made the presentaion even better. Totally on point!!!
i like the Ankara shorts!!! and the blazer with yellow shirt!
i want them all… luv luv luv this collection : )
Now this is beautiful unique fashion! Every piece is exquisite, the designer came “correct”. More grease to your elbow! Oh and yes, the model is STRIKING!
I love the green pants
Triple Wowza
the model has a very nice body but her nose is arrrgghh!!! The clothes are all lovely
Flawless! Christie Brown has clearly vexed and upped her game. Love every piece! WELL DONE! My fave is the 6th dress!
They are sooooooo fab and nice. Haven’t seen anything as gorgeous as this before. Thumps up dear
I’ve been to this designer’s website and i think this is one of teh African Designers to look out for.
All this people here saying negative things about the model. Una get eyes so? Or you just delight in being negative , blinded and unconstructive? These clothes are super fine! Correct! No complaints abegg. Who no get better thing make e shhhhhh………..pls
WOOOW THE clothes are perfect for our african fashion………kudos to christie brown and the photographer too………wish we wud such designers in uganda too……..we lack in creativity and organisation
So lovely….
Wowwwwww!!! All I can say is wowwww.. D designer nailed it beautifullyyy, she deserve a standing ovation 4rm me…Muahhhh..pls 4get abt d model and focus on d designs..
Folks, I am pretty sure the Christie Brown would LOVE feed back on her designs more so than on the model she CHOSE to use to display them. The model was more than likely chosen for her height, shape and how the clothes fall her body more so than her facial construct which is of God’s making so take your complaints to the Bureau of Creation located on Judgement Lane, Heaven.
OH MY! MY!!
my oh my!!!
this is beautiful mehn!
Love every piece! Sassy with a capital S
Beautiful & Neat….love them!
yea realy d model was tryin 2 pic smtin on d floor y.

Lovely pieces, impeccable finish. Great job Christie
i like all dem designs maine !!!
@ tweeter I think the model did a great job. The focus of the shoot was on the clothes not the person wearing it.
I love it all. So so nice!
i lyk the fact that the collection revolves around a particular theme,which i am guessing is black,its very organized,and the model did a good job(except for the part where she had to take off her shoes,all in all 7/10
9z wears….n’ gud looking skin….its luvly…..i tnk d model hs also contributed a roll model to d beautification of d concept…..its 9zzzz
i love every piece.***thinking**what is there not to love

This is one of the few African designers who actually deserve to be labelled as a designer. I’m sick and tired of all these Nigerian designers with their no talents asses bombarding us with their mediocre designs… Btw… sewing an ankara into a western style doesn’t make u a designer, cos every girl in najia is a pro at that. You have to be creative and come up with sthg diff and preferably classy to earn the name.
Love the collection (love every poece), gorgeous model. I can only see creativity, precision and beauty. Well done!
