EZNIRA: fashion intern

The Broadway play FELA was recently staged in lagos, it's based on the life of a Nigerian Afro beat Musician and Activist and one of the biggest African Musical Icons. aaaanyway I got the chance to work backstage in the costumes department with a top Nigerian designer and some stylists.

The show was Fabulous and i got a chance to meet soooo many cool people, did i mention the dancers? Wow those dancers! or as they where called in the play 'The queens'. I'll admit it was pretty stressful dressing them and having to remember all the different costume changes and que's. But it was all worth it as i got to play with the awesome custumes.

I put up a video from backstage where the dancers where letting off steam and having fun before they went on for their 1st act, the video is a tad random and sketchy because i used my phone, Hope you guys like it!

This is Nicole, one of the 'queens' she's a FANTASTIC dancer, the way she moves her body you'd think she was born aand bed in naija!

Me, Veno, jil(one of the choreographers), lawunmi and Joke the guys were MIA at this point. they'l probabaly kill me for putting this up seeing how tired we all look.

i look about 16 in this picture, anyway so i finally got to watch the play on the last day of the show and this is what i wore. the necklace once belonged to my mum and it's actually older than i am!

sweater: Random

skirt: Primark

belt: h&m

Watch: Moschino

Bag: Zara

Necklace: Monet

Hey guys so sorry i've been MIA for this long, some unknown person (i have my suspicions) dropped my laptop on the 1st day of Arise Fashion Week and it took a while to get it fixed.
So much has happened since i was here last, i worked as an intern/assistant during the fashion week which was totally fun, i got to meet soo many cool people and some not so cool people(bt we'l leave that one for another day). Had a realy FAB idea for a post about AMFW but it's been so long it's kinda out of context now so i'll just put up a couple of pictures of things/people that caught my eye during the fashion week.

Day 1

some of the interns i worked with, tosin, moi, choima n ala

Day 2
Forgot my camera at home today, felt like killing myself because JBL and Ituen Basi showcased their designs but i couldn't get any pictures! :(

Day 3

The sun was hot, hence the frown

yea i ddn't really get the idea behind the socks and mandals combo either

the guy on the left was one of the models, he had no less than 4 facial peircings! had to take his picture

Met this girl there, LOVE her skirt and her neck piece. i tink her name is tolu not really sure. Aaaanyway she has a fashion website with her friend (kike i think) and for some reason i can't seem to remember the name. so if you happen to know what it's called please write the link in my comments thanks!

closer look at her necklace, bEAUtiful!

this is Dolapo, she's into fashion P.R.....i think. anyway she was really cool and friendly don't you just love her necklace?

Day 4

This is busayo, love what she did to her hair with the ankara head wrap

This is Nina!

This is thelma one of my 'co-interns' she's too cute!

one thing i love about working in fashion you can wear almost anything and nobody even bats an eyelid e.g my white high waisted shorts.

Was bored and decided to drag my friends zainab and itunu down to mine for an impromptu amature fashion shoot in some of my creations. Here are a couple of pictures
