.BellaNaija Style presents Collection Conversations, a weekly round up of all the collections and look books from Nigerian designers featured on BN Style from the previous week. Collection Conversations features Eki Ogunbor & Richard Akuson sharing their individual thoughts on featured collections from the previous week.
So let’s get started.
Richard: Heyyy darling, what do we have today?
Eki: So first we have Andrea Iyamah and her finding water collection, our first swimsuit review and I love it
Richard: Lord, after reviewing the collection, I literally needed water. Andrea is such a breath of fresh air. The brand has perfected the art of dissecting the female figure in the most flattering way possible. The cuts just fall at the right curves and hollows and it’s interesting how literally they incorporated the inspiration behind the collection into the campaign.
And can I say I’m such a fan of Willy Verse the photographer who shot the campaign. His Instagram feed is all the goodness you’ll need to start your day. I literally stalk him on Instagram (@willyverse)
Eki:
I’m a big fan of his as well and he did very well with the photography and the background edits, great storytelling. If only thirsty people in the desert looked this hot… These ones look like the water is searching for them

Richard: Absolutely. Hahaahah! Lord that line is for the books! Chai, you just always have the perfect lines! 



Eki: Lmao
Richard: But you know, broadly speaking, this goes to show that a successful lookbook or campaign is as much the dependent on the photographer, model, makeup artist or stylist as it is on the designer. And can we please give a moment to the model? She brought everything to life. See those thirsty poses!
Eki: Lol I agree, everyone matters. It takes a village… So pick your fave.
Richard: Urhmm, the long sleeved pair with the red pant and tribal printRichard: I love it too
Richard: Simply luxurious. Detailing was good and well, the abayas interesting
Eki: Yes a lot of that but again, I can’t fault her for knowing her market and giving them what they want. And I can appreciate the attempt to put on something different adding the White top with full sleeves, I’d wear that
Richard: Absolutely agree with you. As for me, I could have used some more fun
Eki: Oliver Twist. But do you have a fave
Richard: Hahahaha, Yes I do, the fringed beige abaya and the stunning green skirt paired with the white vest and black kimono. Yours?.
