House of Divas

House of Divas is a clothing and styling center run by Toke Oyegoke and Labake Ojutalayo.  They focus on designing and producting high quality outfits that are exclusive and mind blowing, for all walks of life.  They work with each client to create an individual style that suits them perfectly.  While most outfits are custom made, they provide off the rack clothing that can be tailored in case of an unplanned or unexpected event.  House of Divas' goal is to make "YOU" a DIVA in your own right.  After all "IMAGE IS EVERYTHING"!

Labels to Know - GREY

Fashion label GREY is made up of the trio - Rukky Ladoja, Obi Obioha, and Tola Ayanwale (where Rukky does the majority of designing).  Based in Nigeria, the vision of GREY is to provide daywear that makes women feel special.  Everyday clothes are what you live your life in.  GREY is unique in that they strive to offer their clients a range of chic fashion staples at reasonable price points.  These designers work to fill the gap for fashionable yet comfortable clothes for women who are interesting, intelligent, and capable. 

This label currently does not have an online store, so getting merchandise is a bit challenging for those of us who live outside of Lagos, Nigeria; however, their contact information is provided on fashion fashion blog.  Here are a few recent designs from their 2012 collection:

Ok these are from the 2011 collection but just too fabulous not to post!!  LOVE!!

Meet - Adama Paris

Meet Adama Amanda Ndiaye, the designer behind label Adama Paris.  Born in Kinshasa, Congo to Senegalese diplomat parents, the young creative made her home in several international cities allowing her to witness a great variety of cosmopolitan trends throughout the years.  This global fashion odyssey inspired the birth of the brand Adama Paris.

She currently lives between Dakar, Los Angeles, and Paris.  Large urban cities are the source of inspiration for her.  Not only a dynamic and stylish way of dressing, Adama Paris also reflects the spirit of young contemporary women. She bridges cultures and walks along all women who refuse to be defined by one limited image often controlled by one brand and one culture.

Fueled by her desire to share fashion and create multicultural bridges, she launched many events including Dakar Fashion Week and Afrika Fashion Awards.  The latest Adama Paris collection was shown at the Southern Sun Swimwear Show in October 2011.  Clothing from the Adama Paris label is available in Senegal, the US, the UK and France.  Here is a peak at some of her designs:
