THE NEW FACE OF HAWKING. FEMALES SELLING THEIR WARES HAS GONE CEREBRAL NOW

IMAGINE RAKING IN ₦20, 000, 000 PLUS MILLION YEARLY, just for accommodating young girls.

Every quite often, a game changer comes into the market place and brings in little changes that would totally revolutionise how things are done, bringing with them more ease to the way old things are done and once people see or experience the effect of those little tweaking,  immediately afterwards, the bandwagon effect comes into play and every other person also follows and wants to do such things too.

Young, very beautiful and somewhat street smart girls are always evolving daily. With money not that easy to come by as it used to and them needing to always represent very well, needing to look good, carrying the latest bags, wearing the latest outfits, going to the so called right places, where all the so called right people converges, they are willing to go to any length to up their game and rake in the money from the game too.

There's now the new way to hawking (that is selling wares). Selling wares? Yes, selling wares! Just in case you are still wondering what commodities we are talking about here, it's none other than the ladies putting themselves out there, for any that can pay!

Just in case you are still pretending not to understand it, let us explain. Dotting several places on the island now, are the "new types of brothels in the name of hostels". A madame or a businessman, would rent a space. It can be 2, 3 or 4 bedrooms and then totally turn it up or remodel the space to accommodate bunk beds.

More after the break.

OUT & ABOUT AT THE GRAND OPENING OF TRISH 'O'COUTURE/ LUXURY INTERIORS


Adaobi Nwakuche and Ndidi Obioha


Mr & Mrs Osita & Patricia Onumonu






Wow! Wow!! Wow!!! The excitement has refused to subside since Saturday, July 29, 2017 which was the d+day of the grand opening of the Trish 'O' Plaza on 27, Karimu Kotun Street, Victoria Island, Lagos.

That date was the official opening of the new HQ of the top Nigerian fashion brand Trish 'O' Couture. It was also the day of the official launch of the brand's new business venture, which is "Trish 'O'Luxury Interiors", a brand strictly into the best of Italian furnitures and furnishings and all of the first class home accessories that makes every home a stand out and not ending there, it was also the Celebration of the birthday of the creative director and MD of the brands, in the person of Patricia Onumonu better known as Tricia or Trish 'O' by most.

To show that even the heavens approved of the day and all that went on, there was a very healthy "showers of blessings" that poured relentlessly from the sky, till just about the time that the building and business was going to be declared opened. At first everyone had felt that the rain was going to mar the event and stop people from coming in high numbers, but in less than 2 hours after the outpouring, the venue was filled to the brim.

The avalanche of beautiful, very stylish and the very well heeled was unprecedented. Like some would say figuratively, they came in torrents and relentlessly.

The beautiful event was organised by the supremely gorgeous (a supremo fashionista to the core) and award winning "event queen"- Ndidi Obioha of Enthyst Events, who put her expertise and experience to great use, space was very well managed and decoration was on point. Arrangements to say the least was top notch, kudos Enthyst

The whole ambience was "gobsmarkingly beautiful" and very welcoming at that too. The canapes were totally and scrumptiously on point, imagine such delights like "chicken lollipops", "prawn cocktails", "jollof rice in cocktail cups", "Shrimp Irie" and "Chicken Wrap", so well named, totally exotic and yummy that we had many helpings and was still not satisfied.

All of these items were coming out one after the other served with delight to the guests.

While the fashion section was on the ground floor, and people were very mesmerised by the colours and the cuts and style, the furniture explosion of the very best of Italian craftsmanship was upstairs.

So while people were picking their delights, they were also networking and backslapping in a beautiful environment.

The event afforded the brand the opportunity to also unveil the season's new collection to the delight of all, as there was a mini fashion show, where the daughter of the creative director dazzled all like she was a professional model, though she's just 10!

The models that were picked to showcase the collection were specifically picked to be as close to normal sizes as much as possible, though the outfits were all already exquisitely made, their (models) carriage added value to what they wore too, so they shown like stars on the mini catwalk.

All in all, it was a very beautifully colourful event, that all who attended commended.

JEANS CULTURE MOVES TO NEW LOCATION


A few years back on the island, this fashion store by name "JEANS CULTURE" was the Mecca for all the Celebrities and stars. At many occasions we had had the honour of seeing and meeting many of the stars/celebrities making purchases as they went on a buying spree/binge, picking this and that. Likes of Caroline, Ruth, Linda and very many others were regular clients, fast forward to now this store still packs a punch.

The fashion outler stocks the latest and most trendy of fashion apparels, be it bags, shoes and clothings of different brands Gucci, Versace, Louboutin, Prada etc from all over and even some not any popular names from America etc.

Brand's strength is majorly in the mix of their different collection from around the world, so there is always something from somewhere for everyone.

In order to be much closer to her clientele, the fashion merchandiser just over the weekend, moved from her former location at Murphi's Plaza on 27 Sanusi Fafunwa Street, Victoria island to the newly opened, Trish 'O' Plaza, which also houses the fashion label Trish 'O'Couture and Trish 'O' Luxury Interiors, now on 27, Karimu Kotun Street, Victoria Island, Lagos too.

At the re-opening on Saturday, July 29, 2017 it was good business as usual as customers stormed the place in torrents picking up many of their favourite brands, saw the former chairperson of a now defunct bank going Gaga as she picked many things with her Abuja based friend.

RENI FOLAWIYO's ALARA CONCEPT STORE GRADUALLY GETTING READY


The eagerly awaited concept store is located at plot 296, Akin Olugbade street, Victoria Island, Lagos just 2 houses away from Folly Coker's Brown's. Just like we told you before, it is one concept store that would give all others a run for its money, it would have all the top lifestyle stores located inside. Work is presently on going at a frantic pace, at least so that it would open before the end of the first quarter of the year. 


Like we also informed in our earlier report the idea of how the place would take shape is by the award winning architect of note, the incredibly talented David Adjaye, you would even see the names of those involved in the building of the concept store on the sign board outside.

Check out the place above.
