Creative Collaboration: The Garment Factory & Aima's

Hey Guys!

Remember how I mentioned that I met up with a friend and blogger in this post. Well, now you find out what we got up to. It was a wonderful lazy Tuesday afternoon and Feyi messaged me that she was at my dad's office. I invited her over and she was like, in fact I should come meet her at Aima's and be their model. I quickly showered, shaved my legs and hurried over to their flagship store on 32 Alexander road, Ikoyi. (It's like a walking distance from the link bridge) The owner was really sweet and filled me in on the concept of the shoot. She also gave me two really cute hair bows like the one I'm rocking below.

Aima's is collaborating with The Garment Factory, which is a Nigerian Based Textile Company that specialises in Unconventional Ankara and Adire Prints and Fabrications. The prints are in luxe Crepe, Jersey and Soft Fluid Georgette fabrications.

This fun, vibrant and contemporary collection is called the 'Mix and Match' Olekus. You walk into the store, pick from one of the beautiful fabrics, choose a style and your outfit is ready with a seamless finish in no time. The wonderfully talented Feyi Adesanya took the pictures and it was the fastest shoot I've ever been involved in, 30 minutes tops.

The red one is definitely my favourite, I love the sleeves and the colour too, which one is your favourite?
