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.

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.

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.

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.

July 25, 2012 at 6:20 pm
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.

July 25, 2012 at 6:30 pm
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

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.

Naveah
July 26, 2012 at 2:06 pm
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.

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.
