hello, like i mentioned in my last post i and a couple of people (chidi of lexash, Demola Mako of Makography, mide coker, kachi of black faboulousity, cassie of cassiedaves and millicent of millare fashion) came together to plan and organize the first of many fashion day out for young creatives. it was on sunday the 11th, the dresscode was ECLECTIC RETRO and it was a picnic/hangout setting. the event was timed for 11am but people didn't show up till about 3.30pm, which got me fidgeting at some point...our Nigerian time mentality is epic and should be worked on and changed. the idea was for everyone to bring something to the table and i'm super thankful that everyone did, we had so much to eat, sandwiches, chips, biscuits, snacks,drinks, wines, ice cream, sweets, punch and about 7 cakes. i can't even say enough thank you to everyone who came with something. when we finally got started, i got everyone to introduce themselves and share what they will change in Nigeria if they were in a position of power for one day, this question gave birth to a lot of hilarious answers that made me laugh my butt off. we moved on to discussing issues that we face as creatives and bloggers, covering topics like replying of comments, getting sponsorship and even getting paid for services rendered. my best part of the picnic was the fashion show, we had everyone split into 4 groups ( disco puff puff, monochrome, regal, inscribed ) we had the group leaders pick some materials to design a look, the materials included some makeup, pins, polythene nylon, tulle, scizzors, belts and ribbons. the result of the four groups can be seen above in the pictures. why this was the highest point of the event for me was Team Monochrome actually named their design after me and they won the competition. everyone had fun and at a point i was practically rolling on the floor. Also no one had an accent at this event unlike alot of fashion events that we attend. Everyone built friendships that i hope will last forever. see you at the next one if you missed it and if you have ideas for the next one mail me at Makodesola@yahoo.com or on instagram @dee_mako XO
