IN LOVE WITH...KIM DAVE DESIGNS #2


Hello Beautiful People!

Once upon a time, there lived a girl who loved to stand out among her peers so she designed clothes and wore the prettiest of clothes. One day, there was a ball in the land and among all other girls she was crowned the best dressed maiden of them all. After that day, with her tiara on her head, she gladly made other maidens look as trendy as herself and she lived happily ever after. The end!

Okay, for real, this is true! lol.

Here’s introducing Priscillia Okpan, the Owner and Creative Director of Kim Dave Designs, a women’s wear fashion label. Priscillia studied Microbiology at the University of Benin and yes, she did love to dress up and won an award for the best dressed female which made her take a closer look into fashion…what she found intrigued her. Told you this was a fairytale, lol.

Priscillia took a foundation course in fashion at Martwayne Fashion School in Lagos and went on to start her label, Kim Dave Designs. At the time, the name of the label was called ‘Colour-Me-Design’ but she soon decided on a change and by combining both her and her father’s name, a brand was born and she was called Kim Dave Design- two generations tied by fashion.

Kim Dave Designs is a fusion of retro and vintage style with a modern twist. Priscillia and her team of young and passionate designers take pleasure in making trendy designs and telling stories with each and every piece and collection. At the moment, the brand is working on a new collection called Omotena which means 'girl' in the Urhobo language and the collection is aimed at celebrating African mothers!

So, why do I love this brand besides the obvious? Kim Dave Designs is not only dedicated to glamming up her ‘beautiful’ clients as she calls them but she is also dedicated to giving back to the women and children in her community. On February 14th of this year, the Kim Dave Design team visited the Faith Orphanage, Awka, Anambra state and shared some love.

Before I leave you to pictures of Kim Dave Designs, you should know that Kim Dave Designs in collaboration with other designers and business owners will be at the Designers Marketplace which holds every first Saturday from 12 pm to 7 pm  at City Park, Wuse 2, Abuja, so if you are in Abuja be sure to go to the ‘Powerful Quad’ stand for some trendy clothes and accessories – buy, buy and  buy some more!

CROP THAT TOP


Hello Beautiful People!

So this post has been on my mind for such a long time; I wont say I have been lazy cuz lazy just aint in my vocabulary. Okay, so crop tops are back! Pretty much since last year and they are still trending.

So what is the general idea of a crop top? Its simple. Pretty much any top that ends above or on your waist...showing off some skin...it can be fitted or loose. With crop tops, you can be nutty or nice. You don't have to go out of your personal style when rocking a crop top; whatever your personal style is, be it chic, hippy, classic, sporty or street, be sure that you can still crop that top.

For anyone looking to crop that top, here are some crop top looks and combinations and if you have rocked the crop top in the past or plan to...feel free to send me a picture and I will be glad to share your crop that top style.
