What do you think?
Futuristic or over-the-top?
Creative or dull?
Let us know!
These designs are fab! Luv the way the chick in the yellow combined the yellow ruffled shirt with the ankara skirt! Noticed the high waist band trend.
ReplyDeleteThe NFS has really come a long way. Love these pics bella!!! Its quite creative too...
ReplyDeleteNaija has come far o.. as backward as the crime rate and standard of living may make it seem. Das just flipping kool. A lot of couture fashion shows are Art pieces not necessarily wear to a party type thing.. futuristic? That I'm not so sure of. More ancient interpretation, trying to go back to the old ways..! I like it.!
ReplyDeletesome of the outfits were a bit out of the world...cant really wear them out..
ReplyDeletebut the yellow outfit was HOT..love the combination..pretty girl too...

WOW!...Some of the designs are fab (The first photo, and the high waisted ankara skirt)...while others are borderline...over the top!. But still, i give them props for their creativity, albeit much! Nice pics, Bella!
ReplyDeleteCombination. The off the shoulder figure hugging long ankara dress with a splash of solid yellow is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOther designs I think can be deconstructed. Since it is NFS I guess the creativity leaves room for couture work combined with ready to wear.
Keep it coming baby!
I believe this is more of the ready to wear variety, right? If this is the case , the its very impressive.
ReplyDeleteI would have loved to see something more edge though, like 'couture-ish'. Where is the winners pix?
Look at me talking like I know a thing about fashion hehe.
THAT YELLOW NUMBER IS BUNZ!!!! THE FINESS OF THE BABE MAKES IT EVEN BERRA....HMH... SHALL THERE BE ANY MONEY TO TRIP THIS XMAS BECAUSE I AM JUST SPOTTING ALL THE BAFFS THAT I SHALL BE COPING. KEEP IT COMING BELLS
ReplyDeleteMost of the clothes are cool. But some of them can't be worn and that calabash one is just unrealistic...had me craking up...LOL
ReplyDeletenot everything on the runway is wearable..
