ESOSA ANENIH & GRACE OSIME

LATASHA IN HOUSE OF FARRAH

WE JUST LOVE THE BAG!!

We have thought to caption this post- Saving this best for last. This was the last day of the weeklong event, so many of those who didn't come throughout the week, came to see the grand-finale. This particular day's show had been over-hyped as the one anyone couldn't miss. The crowning glory of the whole week's show was going to be the final showcase by none other than Ozwald Boateng himself; we wouldn't want to forget that he has an OBE, which refers to his recognition by the queen- Order of the British Empire.

Ozwald has done very well for himself and we must really commend him, if we are right, he's most probably the 1st black African to be the creative director at a top fashion house- the House of Givenchy. So we believe he totally deserves been celebrated and even the award he won later on this night- AMFW 2012-LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD, was very well deserved.

As always many were dressed to the t, it was like an opportunity for the peacock, to show-off her intimidating plumage to the glory of all. How we wished we had planned very well with photographers everywhere, because many came out on this day. We saw ex-beauty queen Nike Soleye, actress and business woman-Lilian Bach, gorgeous Genevieve Nnaji, top stylist Lilian Unachukwu who now carries a low cut, which just have to commend that body, Sasha Alabi, Buky de la Zaria, Esosa Anenih, Amaka Mbonu, top actress Susan Peters, those everly gorgeous twins- Princesses Nina & Muka and many other usual suspects that you are sure to see at such events like the AMFW were in attendance.

Like we always try to do, we were everywhere doing our best to make sure to get all the right pictures for your viewing delight. We hope we tried. Enjoy!
