I wasn’t really surprised about this invention”.

Also, Nollywood actress, Yvonne Jegede, who spoke about the price and the colours of the clothes said: “The prices are very affordable.

I see a lot of summer colours here, so yeah I love the colours all of them, everything”.

The prints are 100% Nigerian made and they were all sewn by a Nigeria, Ayo. Omoni who also intends to take her clothing line international stated

I feel awesome; it has been an amazing night. We have sold hundreds of pieces, it’s unbelievable. Pretty much everything is gone; we’ve sold over 80% of what we had here. It’s amazing. I think that colours make the world beautiful. Imagine the world without colours? It will be a very dull world. So, when I had the concept for the line, I wanted it to be bright, to be colourful, to be sunny, and to be something that you will wear and instantly feel happy because happiness is important. Everything you see here is proudly made in Nigeria and it looks like what you can pick up in any store around the world. It is amazing”.

The highlight of the event was when a couple got engaged and Nigeria’s talented singer, Humblesmith performed his hit tracks, ‘Focus’, ‘Attracta’ and ‘Osinachi’.
