Ready-To-Wear brand Alainé by Celine recently released its new collection titled Virgo featuring a range of pieces which put a new spin on the traditional Nigerian womenswear classic, the iro, and buba.
The brand channeled its passion for the richness of African fabrics and styles into creating a collection that cuts across cultural divides. The focus of the range is its faux wrapper: skirts and dresses sewn to give the illusion of an iro, without the hassle of tying a traditional one.
It is a fusion of Western and Nigerian styles, including a mix of Ankara, crêpe, organza and striped shirts. Taking its inspiration from Nigerian women and their different personalities, the brand seeks to provide women with pieces for every mood: from simple and elegant, to sexy and fierce and everything that embodies the Alainé woman.

Lovely piece
Anita is pretty and just right for this shoot.
So lovely. I love everyone of them.
Absolutely stunning pieces. It has been a while since I have seen originality from our designers. This is so original and beautiful. I hope these designs are trademarked so you can profit from copies made by other designers.
The rich keeps getting why cant an upcoming model be the muse.. Ps am not hating
I know you aren’t hating although the chic is right for the shoot but I can’t but ask myself why not an upcoming and she the makeup?
This is really beautiful. Kudos Alaine by Celine
Classy, decent, beautiful. The designs still manage to be sexy at the same time.
This is absolutely amaaaaaziiiing!

Fantastic!
The originality
The creativity
The versatility
The muse ???
Iya mmi!!!
Simple and straight to the point. It is ridiculous to suggest trademarking designs. Everyone copies from everyone and this is not an original design. All the up and coming tailors in Lagos have made and are making this style..No one trademarks any design utterly ridiculous…Uber designers in the West whom Nigerians so love to copy have not trademarked their designs how much more these designs……
Letty Letty ? You never disappoint
