Lightup Concepts

Funke Adepoju ’s collection at the 2015  Heineken Lagos Fashion & Design Week  was everything! We love the exquisite embroidery and the soft colours she used for a truly feminine collection. For her Spring/Summer 2016 collection she embraced sequins, lace, floral elements. The collection featured peplum blouses, asymmetrical hemlines, cut-outs, tulle skirts and many more fabulous pieces. Just when we thought she was done she sent models out in the most gorgeous silky print dress. Check out the collection below. Photo Credit : Kola Oshalusi (Insigna)

At  Heineken Lagos Fashion & Design Week , we got to see creative director,  Omowunmi Owonifari , deliver structured peplum tops, shirt dresses with stunning embellishments, structured capes, blazers and tuxedo dresses, and 2 beautiful wedding dresses. The collection was a great continuation to her rise to fashion stardom, and the brand has definitely come a long way since it first caught our eye on the  Fashion Focus  finalists list of 2014.
