ARISE AFRICA FASHION WEEK NOTABLE MENTION: ADE BAKARE (NIGERIA)

while ade bakare's collection featured the occassional white dress that we liked and some pieces we weren't too sure about, we thought he deserved a notable mention because of his use of adire (tie-and-dye) and aso-oke; two fabrics that are often sidelined in the ankara craze. the aso-oke mini is a stunner:

I do like the mini skirt but the rest of his collection leaves much to be desired. Eek!
