One Nigerian Boy goes into the closet of Nigerian Fashion and lifestyle blogger Adaku Ufere, a.k.a Daks of Third World ProFashional for the first feature in this ‘In The Closet’ series. I first met Adaku at the monthly Le Petit Marche trade show and I was a bit flattered when she professed her love for my blog, now that I’ve been reading her blog for some time now, I’m equally smitten.
Word has it that loads of people go to these fashion trade shows and event to pose and interact without buying stuff but my wandering eye has caught Adaku picking up stuff on several occasions and she was even wearing a Deola Sagoe polo the first time we met which proves her #BuyNigerian ability not just liking.
I asked Adaku to show me her favorite pieces from Nigerian designers and other stuff she’s obsessed about and about an hour later after loads of choco milo, water and shots it was a wrap.
Odio Mimonet Bag: I love the colors and excellent craftsmanship. You can see all the hand detailing and amount of time that has been put into this bag.
Meena: I own 4 Meena pieces, which makes it one of my favorite Nigerian Fashion labels, if not my favorite. The first 2 and the last one are from her debut collection, the 3rd one is an old dress I got years ago when she was not a fully established designer, but I still rock it!
Babushka: I love Babushka because the clothes are trendy and affordable. You don’t have to break bank to cop a few cool pieces.
Lanre Da Silva Ajayi: My mom gifted me this dress years ago and it’s still treasured as if it’s new. I like the vintage vibe it’s got.
Ejiro Amos Tafiri: I copped this months ago at LPM, it was on sale.
Jini: This is a new label with cool clothes for very pocket friendly prices. I got this dress for just a little above ₦5,000.
I love love love Adaku's style. Been following her blog for a couple of yrs now so iv seen most of these outfits. Shes one of my fav naija fashionistas. You rock girl!
ReplyDeleteEm, why exactly is this girl here? Is she a celebrity? Been rich, being able to afford stupidly overpriced clothes and going to events shloudnt make one a celebrity. I just read her blog now and its full of accounts of her self indulgent lifestyle. People whos fathers stole Nigerias money
ReplyDeleteyeah she is just unique
ReplyDelete@Anon This why pple fail exams, did they say she's a celebrity? Shes here because she has a great sense of style and she supports the Nigerian fashion industry heavily. Smh at some people
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, I've been following TWP for a couple of months now and you must have missed all the obvious post she made about being a barrister. Not everyone is living off their "rich" parents' money. And the clothes are regular priced, if not underpriced when compared to the global market. I live in the US and if I was to buy a designer dress it would cost at least $120 regular priced!
ReplyDeleteNice writeup, i luv the direction onenigerianboy is taking. This girl is a popular face on the lagos social scene but i didnt know she had a blog or that shes a lawyer. Big ups to both of you
ReplyDeleteAnonymous @ 1.20pm, that was a very ignorant comment to make. I've met the young lady ain question a few times and if you think she puts way to much effort into her wardrobe and social life then she puts the same effort into her professional goals. Plus I know her family, her father is a hard-working professional who has earned his stripes. The fact that you signed off as "anonymous "shows that you experienced some chagrin at the thought of being identified with the level of idiocy in your post.
ReplyDeleteLooking great. She's fierce!
ReplyDeleteYAY! for Daks!! Love her style!
ReplyDeletethe legs don't cut it at all. a bit of a wannabe she is... you'll get there one day:0)
ReplyDeleteWow some people are just BITTER. What A has to do with B is mind-boggling to me. Who said she was a celeb? You are an idiot "Anonymous" and honestly, you need Jesus lol . What the hell does a style-spotlight have to do with her father? Lord Nigerians will ALWAYS amaze me .
ReplyDeleteanonymous if you knew ur comment wasnt so ignorant why didnt u leave ur name behind, mschew. rubbish person. luv daks, and they never said shes a cele, luv the support shes giving the industry
ReplyDelete*sigh* too many ignorant people on the interwebs.
ReplyDeleteNice feature.
