Styling by Toubie Solanke of OL.IL

We tried to create a story with the pictures, hopefully, you'll get the gist, XoXo

He came from the water…

I guess she didn’t!?

Hmmm…

Woooshh! Oh my!

And so some other day…

Who are you?

Wait.

Well, obviously she didn’t wait!

… The moral of the story is…?

IAMISIGO - Make Up

This shoot was done About the month of September, 2010.
OL.IL did the make -up

The Outfits were created by none other than IAMISIGO.

She was also the stylist. Please find more images HERE.

Independence Project - Agbani

The 50th Independence of Nigeria was commemorated by the First Lady of Nigeria by bringing together 50 Nigerian women who have made a difference. Photo shoots were done, videos were taken, and Kelechi Amadi-Obi's studio was where it all went down.

I was priviledged to style Agbani Darego ( One time Miss World and former Miss Nigeria) as she was one of the women selected for the coffee table book the images were for.

The main look we were looking for was "regal" and the Featured designer was ROUGE.

Here are some of the images from the shoot.

The hair pieces provided:

However, you would see that we didnt make use of them because the shoot was really about her, and not the clothes. Using them would over power her personality, making her the model of the designer's work.

Slight complications with the hair stylist, but that worked out. Make up artist, Bimpe Ogunmakin of Elite Makeup was also there to complete the process...

The first outfit was the preferred one (naturally) a high necked victorian looking piece, selected by Dimeji Alara.

No foot wear was included because the outfits were floor length. Naturally, Agbani's posing was all natural.

Touch up by Bimpe...

The second outfit as you can see, is very creative. I wasnt so sure about the fabric used, but when the shoot was all done, the best pictures were in this outfit.

And yes, many years after her reign as Miss World, Agbani is still beautiful as ever!

Saeon... June 2010

My first job... 

Aspiring and Upcoming Songwriter, Singer and Rapper, SAEON allowed me work with her face, her body, her clothes and her posture. Here are the results! Enjoy!

raw picture on the way to location 3... This bowler from MANGO is to-die-for... not literally of course. The bigger floppy hats are also hot this season, dont miss out on that! perfect for our 'summer' here in Nigeria if you ask me..

CHANGE YOUR STYLE...

Pearls with bows are a hot fashion accessory this summer, an attempt to look classy without looking stuffy! you gotta love it. The pearl bracelets were not all off-white in color, there was also light brown in the mix... awesome! 

ANOTHER ONE...

This one i'm particularly proud of, some crazy shots were taken ere (your everyday parking lot), but you have to look out for this upcoming artiste to see the rest! The ankle high heels, i'm not sure Nigeria is ready for, but i've fallen for them, i hope you get to see what i love about them!

GBAM!!

The use of the mixture of pearls and beads in this shot was inspired by the bowler hat which had a pink bow as well. the use of pink shoes would have been extreme thus the toning down with denim colored foot wear.

C'EST BEAU! :)

This shot i find particularly colorful, the model has on all the complementary colors ans she wears them well! the make up was plain smoky with a hint of pink on the lips. gorge!

This boyfriend blazer is definitely a must-have!
