NYFW 2010: Deola Sagoe

OKAY!
I know we have been slacking on the NYFW posts, but forgive us...here's something for you guys...

One of my fave Nigerian fashion designers, Deola Sagoe, showed in the Fall New York Fashion Week!!!
AH-MAZING.
Her collection "Above The Fray" describes a person who is ahead of the game, a level above the rest, and I guess that describes her perfectly!

We stopped by her private viewing in New York at the Loft on Fifth to take a peek at the collection.

The details in the clothes are very well done and professional, and every outfit can be worn on and off the runway.
The recurring theme throughout the whole collection is the gold and black BOLD metallic look, which make the clothes wearable during the day, but also at night! 

Didn't get a chance to talk to and congratulate the designer *sadface*...clearly she was busy with prospective business people.
Here's my fave outfit of the collection, a long metallic evening dress! [you can see Deola in the background...]
