Fashion Week in Nigeria highlights talent of local designers

When we think of fashion week, major cities like Paris, Milan and New York City usually come to mind. Rarely, however, do places that are on the continent of Africa pop into our heads. However, any preconceived notions that we have about style hot spots may soon be dispelled according to various news sources.

Lagos, Nigeria, hosted MTN Lagos Fashion & Design Week that ran from October 24 to October 27. Buyers and designers from en vogue European labels like Selfridges & Co. and MyTheresa.com were among those in attendance as long-legged models wearing outfits from almost 40 collections, including Africa's own Ituen Basi's, strutted their stuff on the runway.

Local Nigerians have been making a name for themselves over the past few years. For example, talented designers like Duro Olowu has long been considered one of Michelle Obama's favorite designers, and Deola Sagoe was praised by the likes of U.S. Vogue editor Andre Leon Talley and Oprah Winfrey.

Although most Nigerians live on a mere $2 a day, there is a growing population of wealthy residents, many of whom value and love shopping for high-end luxury goods.

"Nigerians are part of our Top 10 highest-spending foreign customers," Selfridges public relations manager Bruno Barba said in a statement. "It felt right for us to try and find a response that would appeal to them, excite them and be over and above what they already buy, almost as a recognition that they're an important part of our consumer base."

As fashion trends continue extending beyond the United States' and Europe's borders, it's important that fashionistas stay in-the-know about what is hot and what is not. Luckily, you can look like a diva without spending like one when you buy from Dellamoda.com. We're an online retailer that sells designer purses, handbags and accessories for a lower price than what you would pay in a department store.

True Religion may be bought by another company, but don’t throw away your jeans just yet

True Religion, the makers of  high-end, hip-hugging denim that has made its way into rap lyrics and department stores alike recently revealed that it is thinking about "exploring strategic options," which in layman's terms means that they are considering putting the brand up for sale. The announcement was made on Wednesday, October 10 in the form of a press release.

According to sources, True Religion implemented the help of Guggenheim Securities and law firm Greenberg Traurig as financial advisers. The New York Times also reported that the denim label received many offers from other businesses interested in acquiring the company.

True Religion was established 10 years ago and was one of the first makers of chic, torn jeans that looked worn but were anything but. Many of their items sold in stores across the United States and online cost more than $300.

However, the market for pricey jeans has become much more narrow as fashionistas know that they can still look good without spending hundreds of dollars on a pair of pants. The company's stock have fallen almost 40 percent this year to just $21 a share.

If you have a pair of True Religion denim, don't worry, there's no need to get rid of them simply because they may be bought by another company. In fact, this denim looks incredible with high heels such as Gucci's black patent leather pumps for women or Jimmy Choo's black leather pumps sold by designer discount retailer Dellamoda.com.

No matter your height, you can rest assured that the combination of your ultra-stylish jeans and high-end shoes are going to make a statement whether you're out with your girlfriends or at happy hour.

3 must-have bridal accessories

If you're getting married, you're likely to spend months preparing for your big day. But while you spend time picking out just the right color scheme, flower arrangements and song for the first dance, make sure you don't forget these three essential accessories.

1. The right shoe. Of course you'll have a spectacular dress for this momentous occasion, but don't forget about your feet! Since all eyes will be on you, make sure that, in addition to being beautiful, your shoes are comfortable and easy to walk in. Don't feel the pressure to get white shoes, since a pop of color in your footwear can be a fun way to show your personality and flout tradition just a little bit.

2. A perfect clutch. You won't need a purse while walking down the aisle, but take a clutch or evening bag along with you to carry your cell phone, ID and a few spare tissues. As the evening goes on, you'll be happy to have these essentials. This Cesare Paciotti clutch is a beautiful sparkly choice.

3. Designer sunglasses. If you're planning to have your ceremony or another part of your wedding outside, chances are that you'll have to contend with the glare from the sun. And while you're not going to want to wear these during the ceremony, they can keep you from squinting in the bright light as you chat with guests during cocktail hour.

While you concentrate on everything it takes to have the perfect wedding, these designer accessories can make sure that you're whole day is fantastic. Buy them from Dellamoda and save money so that you can afford the wedding that you really want.

Before working at Marie Claire, this Brit was a reporter who worked for The Guardian, The Times of London and New York and More, a publication geared toward females over 40 years old.

New editor named a Cosmopolitan Magazine

After more than seven months of searching for a new editor to replace 14 year veteran Kate White, Cosmopolitan Magazine announced yesterday that Joanna Coles, formerly editor-in-chief of Marie Claire Magazine, will now take the helm. David Carey, the president of Hearst Magazines, delivered the news himself.

As the editor of Marie Claire, Cole not only increased the number of readers, but also made a name for herself as one of the regular guest judges on the hit television show "Project Runway All Stars."

Coles has an impressive resume. Before working at Marie Claire, this Brit was a reporter who worked for The Guardian, The Times of London and New York and More, a publication geared toward females over 40 years old.

After beginning her work as editor at Marie Claire, she said that she was shocked at how negative womens periodicals were. The rules were that body issues were to be kept private and sex was thought of as something that couldn't be talked about.

''For me what’s important is to be on the side of women when it comes to sex,'' Coles said, according to the New York Times. "It's very important to have a sense of humor when you edit a magazine — at Cosmo, it is much raunchier. I have a lot of learning to do. There are 365 sex positions of the day here and one of them is called the linguine."

Of course, as the soon-to-be editor of a magazine aimed at fun and fearless women, Coles knows the importance of fashion and you should too. For designer accessories that cost less than at department stores, buy from us, Dellamoda.com.

 
With great shoes, brides-to-be can have that look of confidence on their wedding day.

Looking for the perfect bridal gown? Consider these styles

If you are a bride-to-be, you know how stressful planning the big day is. Not only do you have to worry about who to invite, the type of food to serve and whether to hire a band or DJ, you also how to find the perfect gown.

Many women would argue that finding a dress that is reasonably priced and compliments their figure is the most difficult part of preparing for the celebration. Brides everywhere, however, can rest assure that their are countless resources and bridal magazines they can flip through to get some ideas on what type of frock to sport.

For example, TheKnot.com has some great styles that are sure to enhance any figure, such as:

1) Greek goddess
You don't have to be well-versed in mythology to know that a Grecian-inspired gown is not only elegant but flattering as well. You'll look exquisite walking down the aisle wearing a dress that is made of light, airy fabrics such as chiffon and Chantilly lace.

2) Hollywood glam
You don't have to look like a cupcake on your wedding day. Most of today's dresses were created with ready-to-wear concepts in mind. If this your cup of tea, go for a gown that has 3-D accents, jagged trims and dramatic necklines.

3) Femme fatal
If you're a girly-girl consider a frock that hugs your figure and shows off your curves. Trumpet and mermaid shapes are all the rage right now. Select a dress with tiny bows, lace accents and delicate ruffles.

Of course, whatever your style may be, no wedding day look is complete without gorgeous bridal shoes. If you want a stress-free experience, look no further than Dellamoda.com. We offer Gucci heels and crystal heels in a number of elegant styles and sizes.
