LANRE DA-SILVA TO CONQUER NEW TERRITORIE­S

-

Popular fashion designer, Lanre Da Silva-Ajayi, comes across as a restless soul. She is constantly driven by an ambition to rule her world. As far as she is concerned, opportunit­ies abide everywhere except for those who have set some limitation­s for themselves.

In her case, she dreams big. No wonder, having stamped her authority in the nation’s fashion industry, she is set to expand her business empire and further grow her clientele beyond the shores of Nigeria.

Spy glass gathered that the very creative designer is planning to open shops in some parts of East as well as South Africa.

Over the years, her name has become synonymous with fashion and style. This is no exaggerati­on as she has been faithful to her first love, fashion design for many years with several credible awards to her credit.

Since the Lagos State-born fashion designer set out to live her dream, she has been a source of encouragem­ent and great motivation to many younger ones who see her as a good role model.

But for her love for fashion design, she would have been one of the top players in the corporate world, having bagged a master’s degree in Finance from the University of Leicester, United Kingdom.

Even in the face of stiff competitio­n in the industry today, LDA is still a leading outfit in the industry, thanks to her ingenuity.

She is able to combine pattern, print, exquisite and even traditiona­l fabrics to produce day wear, evening wear, gowns and cocktail dresses. She is into formal and casual wears and enjoys designing the formal wears more, as they are tailored for more elaborate events and show more couture which the LDA brand is all about.

She recently showcased her ingenuity with her special collection­s in a grand style at the Arise Fashion Week show, where her outing was applauded by the audience.
