"Fashion Is What You Buy. Style Is What You Do With It"

                                        -StyleQuotent

Hello great stylistas and esteemed followers, Happy April!!!. I hope 2016 is going as planned. Thanks for keeping faith with LivingBySunrise. The page-hits quite amazing although I hadn't blogged much lately due to, should I say, 'Biting more than you can chew' episode. e no easy to be super-woman sha . Anyways, you mean the world to me and making time for you is all I'm about now.

So, on this edition of Stylespirationz, I choose to inspire you with the sneakers/canvas trends. As the quote above rightly says, style is what you do with what you buy. This is true of this sport-inspired footwear that has been styled in many unique ways by stylistas and fashion lovers. It appears there are no rules. As you would see below, it can be worn with gowns/dresses, suits/jackets, jeans, ankara print, skirts, shorts etc.  So whether to run errands, catch a plane, have lunch with friends or to attend events, get out of your comfort zone and express yourself in canvas this weekend and beyond. kick it.

Our Nigerian designers over the years have up their games, and many of them can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with their contemporaries from other parts of the globe. the like of Lanre Dasilva Ajayi, Mai Atafo, Lisa Folawiyo, AprilByKunbi, just to mention but a few. There are also new and emerging Nigerian designers who are giving the 'oldies' a run for their money by bringing innovation and norm-breaking concepts and ideas to the runways. The like of Meena, Ejiro Tafiri, etc.

 Nigerian celebrities, mostly the females seem to know this fact, because more and more, they are rocking these designs right off the runways even better than the models(well, more often than not). Nigerians buying(and wearing) Nigerian designs is very patronising and patriotic even.

 

In no particular order, lets look at some fashionistas who made Nigerian designers proud and happy in 2015.
