Other segments of fashion such as merchandizing, branding, product placement, media relationship, PR, photography and so on, were also discussed by Emmy Collins during the course of the workshop.

One of the major resource persons at the workshop was ace photographer Kelechi Amadi-Obi, who brought to bear his weight of experience to the workshop and was present to sensitize the attendees on the essence of talent, passion and confidence in any creative industry be it-Photography, Fashion & other creative endeavors. 

The workshop was divided into two sessions, morning and afternoon as more attendees than expected registered and it was absolutely at no cost to those who attended.

Partners to this event were BellaNaija, Aero Contractors, Hillside Guest House, Emmy Collins London, PassionistaHub.com and Mania Magazine.

The workshop will be rotated from City to City commencing from the first quarter of 2013 as we believe ardently that talents could be discovered in the most obscure locations imaginable.
