Getting Wu - oed
Give me any piece from this collection and I'll rock any time of the day- day, evening and night because I'm all about functionality, being chic and comfortable.
Jason is one designer who has continued to create a spark with each collection he has made to fat; his spontaneity thrills me specially. Looking through the entire collection one piece at a time makes me marvel at his level ingenuity; he passes a strong message across with so much ease and simplicity that makes me appreciate his style of design.
Jason Wu successfully wooed his audience - again, with this collection which consists of different materials, ideas and cuts which somehow he constructed carefullly to make a fantastic story all together. After all amongst the things that determine a great collection, good construction, proper placement of cuts, fabric choice, and overall, neat finishing go a long way.. Jason Wu didn't fall out on any of these, I am beyond impressed and I hope that somehow I get to own one at least one piece from this collection.

Jason Wu has definitely developed past the young designer who made that spectacular dress for Michelle Obama...perhaps she will wear one or two of these unique pieces. Amazing is not close to a description of Jason Wu's collection and show

The Woman on Top; DVF Makes Forbes 100 Most Powerful Women List
I'll definitely not argue DVF on any 'Powerful List' with anyone...need I say more, it's a #fact.
On second thought, she should actually top the list ...
The annual Forbes list of the 100 most powerful women in the world, out today, honors a few other stylish women with the attention they so deserve. No surprise here, but CFDA president Diane von Furstenberg came in at number 33, above one of fashion’s other most powerful ladies, Anna Wintour (#51). In June Diane von Furstenberg entered her fourth term as President of the Council of Fashion Designers of America, a position she'll hold at least through 2014. In her capacity she oversees the 427 fashion designers on the group's board. Read more about DVF - http://www.forbes.com/profile/diane-von-furstenberg/
Joining the list are fashion favorites like Michelle Obama, Lady Gaga, Queen Elizabeth II, Beyoncé, and J. Lo.

Toyosi Akerele Wins "Entrepreneur of the Year" Award
The reward for diligence is not far-fetched when zeal and passion is involved. It was a moment of fun and excitement on Saturday, 12th November, 2011 at the 15th Success Digest Enterprise Awards held to recognize and honour outstanding Entrepreneurs in the society who have made landmark achievements in their chosen fields of endeavour.
The awards which held at Oranmiyan hall, Lagos Airport Hotel, Ikeja had in attendance high-calibre guests and the crème de la crème of the society. The CEO, RISE Group Ms. Toyosi Akerele was awarded the “Young Entrepreneur of the Year” in recognition of her passion for the development of Nigerian Youth.
Toyosi Akerele basking in the euphoria of the honour and encomium thanked the organizers for the honour and recognition she was accorded at the event. She also used the occasion to encourage Nigerian Youths that with much determination, faith in God and Integrity, they can be whatever they aspire to be. The Founding Executive Director of RISE could not quantify her gratitude in words as she humbly stated that “I put all Men given accolades at the feet of Christ, it’s only his Grace that has brought me thus far”
Her success strides have been clearly visible since the start of the year.
Between 22nd through April 14th May 2011, Toyosi was the only Nigerian selected for the International Visitors’ Leadership Programme that held in the U.S. : The International Visitor Leadership programme is an initiative of the U.S Embassies around the world.
The thoughtful selection came as recognition of her extraordinary capacity as a Young Enterprise Builder, hard work and resilience towards ensuring that the voices of young people are heard and that there is visible transformational change in Nigeria. This year alone, RISE has hosted very successful Sessions of her annual National Youth Forum in 10 Universities cut across all the 6 Geo-Political zones of Nigeria.
In similar vein, she was also the only one from Nigeria nominated to join other Young Women Leaders in South Africa during an official visit of the Wife of the President of United States, Michelle Obama to Africa from June 21 – 26 with focus on Youth Leadership, education, Health and Wellness.
Mrs Obama in her words during her Press Briefing preceding the event said “Everywhere I have gone during my time as First Lady, I have been inspired young people like Toyosi who gathers 50,000 Youths every year for the largest Youth Conference in Nigeria.
For Toyosi, it has been a Year-round celebration; In her words she stated “God’s work done in God’s way will never lack God’s supply!
