Often wonder why the "fashion designers" in Nigeria don't copy things properly, okay we do fashion shows sell tickets or at times do free charity shows,, but are we not forgetting something???are clothes actually being made, i am sorry to say ,but most of what i see our designers create are mainly costumes.there is a big difference between ready to wear clothes and costumes.
when we go out to buy the Gucci things,Armani shirts,Prado shoes,we buy them for comfort{and the usual effizy involved in wearing designer things}.All i am trying to say here is that our fashion designers should focus more on making ready to wear garments which are more functional on and off the runway and also they make them affordable.i am a fashion designer and i am into the functional clothes business and costume making and differentiate them on my runway shows, i want to do this to prevent our people from patronizing too many "okrika" markets , we seem to have a lot of them these days.GOD forbid people start wearing costumes all over the place, i see it happening already.
