If there’s one takeaway from Osas Ighodaro’s stellar Lagos Fashion Week run, it’s this: Nigerian designers aren’t short on fresh ideas.The Nollywood star turned to five Nigerian designers: Kílèntár, Oríré, Sisiano, LJF Official and Hertunba for a killer wardrobe that was not short on statement-making details.

For Kílèntár, Ighodaro took a more understated approach in an ivory column dress with a softly draped neckline, textured straps and a fringed hem. A structured cream handbag and gold-accented heels kept the palette cohesive and her towering braided updo provided the right amount of drama.

Then came Hertunba, where their signature Dona dress in black offered a striking take on eveningwear. Gold cuffs and statement earrings completed the look.

Things took a more experimental turn with LJF Official. The ivory ensemble played with cascading ruffles, provocative sheer detailing and dramatic pleating that extended al the way down the back.

The finishing touches, pink-tinted sunglasses by Melted Lenses and an ornate clutch added a chic contrast to the romantic silhouette.

Of course, no fashion week wardrobe is complete without a little drama and Sisiano understood the assignment. A sweeping fuchsia gown with an asymmetric draped bodice and generous folds of fabric brought movement and impact in equal measure.

Ighodaro changed things up in the beauty department with voluminous curls and bold gold earrings by Symbols of Authority.

Rounding out the lineup was Oríré. Ighodaro opted for a lime-green fitted dress from the label with dimensional floral detailing and subtle gathering at the hips.

Styled with a metallic gold bag, geometric earrings and a softly curled bob, the look struck that sweet spot between playful and polished.

Can you say range? We love how Osas used each designer to bring a different point of view to the fashion week conversation.
