It was a star studded event of style, class and glamour as celebrities, fashion icons and society buffs like Julius Agwu who wore Teslo̓s creation; Segun Odegbami, who modeled Needles and Stitches outfit, gracefully walked the runway.
Others in the group were Rugged Man; Ebuka Obi-Uchendu of Big Brother Nigeria , Pasuma and Rhymzo, fast rising Afro-Reggae artist who has a unique sense of style. Next were the Movers and Shakers where the graceful Grace Egbagbe who wore her own design dazzled the guests with her sexy catwalk that drew a round of applause from the audience, Kwam 1, Ehimofe Etafe and Lexy Mojo-Eyes. Next to showcase what they are worth under the Divine Divas category were actress Genevieve Nnaji, Omotola Ekehinde, Kate Henshaw- Nuttal, Kaffy, Omowunmi Akinnifesi, most beautiful girl in Nigeria 2005 and lfeoma Williams. The Celebrity Cocktail had the likes of Kojo Williams, former chairman Nigeria Football Association (NFA), Tony Tetuila, Dayo Olomo and the weird Denrele Adun.
Twin X, the diminutive Chinedu lkedeze and his better half Osita lheme of the Aki and Paw Paw fame in Nollywood, were on ground to add colour and spice . The show which was the first of it’s kind set a remarkable standard as everything was right about it, Ronke Apampa along with her production company R70 World , did a fabulous job of transforming the Lagoon restaurant, Victoria Island, venue of the event to a slick, glamorous setting that made the runway come alive. Delivering a key note address at the event, Chief (Mrs.) Oluremi Tinubu, former first lady of Lagos State and chair person of the New Era foundation applauded the initiative of Ronke Apampa for using the medium to raise funds to further support the eradication of HIV/AIDS in the country. A substantial part of the proceeds from the event would be channeled towards building an orphanage for orphans of HIV/AIDS. Quote this article on your site | Print | E-mail
