THE BELLA DE JOUR EXHIBITION.

2 of the most creative people in Nigeria-Ade Yusuf & Gbemi Johnson joined up together to showcase their new collections to a very appreciative crowd of buyers,stylists and the media recently at an event tagged-Bella De Jour, the beautiful event had so many people in attendance and it was at the swanky-La Saison restaurant, Raymond Njoku,Ikoyi,Lagos.

The inspiration behind the showcase was the imagination about styling a city chic in a cosmopolitan city like Lagos, the designers were inspired by the effortless chicness of the 70's style, the femininity of the elegance of the 50's, combining this elements and adding a modern twist, which is obvious in the use of very vibrant colours,novelty prints,simple shapes and neutral palette.
