ALL THE GIST YOU MISSED AT #LFW2021’s GRAND FINALE

The Grand Finale of Lagos Fashion Week 2021 kicked off with about three different collaborative presentations, but let me not bore you with mundane details and skip right to the crux of the matter! Let me give you the scoop on the most memorable moments from the runway shows, one of them been Lush Hair’s show. The show was inclusive in that it had both svelte and plus-sized models as well as cute junior models. June Wisse, Little Miss United Nations NG 2021, stole our hearts as she confidently strutted down Lush Hair’s runway- sealing it with an air kiss as she twirled towards the end of the ramp, to the loud cheers of mesmerised spectators. For a girl her age, her poise and composure are super commendable…

We thought we had seen it all till the unexpected happened; TV personality cum Nigerian king of razzmatazz, Denrele Edun took the runway by storm in a pink cape jumpsuit. His hair was styled with Lush Hair’s natural hair extension which he wore in a halo of bouncy puffs. Denrele captured the attention of the hall with his vivacious presence and energetic moves whilst playing runway “commandant” to the other models after his own walk. We were thrown into a fit of excitement by Denrele’s animated antics, a much needed relief from the displeasure caused by the long time lapses in-between some of the previous shows.
