Dress (worn as top), Primark | Skirt...forgot shop | Faux Fur Coat, Beyond Retro | Wedges, Sole Footwear | Bag, Vintage

The show took place at the Charing Cross Hotel, Strand. The venue was lovely, warm and cosy with candles lit up the stairs. With a smooth que and Champagne reception, everything was well organised and started on time. Checkout my quick snap with the gorgeous Nollywood Actress- Genevieve Nnaji.

I have much appreciation for uniqueness, creativity and vision outside of the box. With Nana's Closet, I loved the grid details added to a few pieces. It was almost like inside of a tennis racket. Some pieces were quite Chic.  The line was very wearable and would suit any occasion.

Unfortunately my camera died after Nana's Closet :-(

However, I will have some video footage of the final walks asap.
