Nigerian contemporary brand Wanni Fuga celebrated its 10th anniversary in spectacular style on
Sunday, October 27, 2024. Themed “The Garden of Fuga,” the show marked the brand’s debut at the
prestigious Lagos Fashion Week with its SS25 collection.
Held at Centrepoint, Ikoyi—which was transformed into a botanical haven of lush greenery—the event
served as the grand finale of Wanni Fuga’s ‘Journey to 10’ campaign, a fitting tribute to a decade of
innovative design and a bold vision for the brand’s future.
The collection featured Wanni Fuga’s signature elegance with a fresh, modern flair and introduced the
brand’s new logo, symbolizing an exciting new era. Nigeria’s most influential fashion figures and
celebrities, including Mo Abudu, Rita Dominic, Veekee James, Hilda Baci, and Erica Nlewedim, attended
in Wanni Fuga pieces, further establishing the brand as a celebrated name in African fashion.
Hosted by acclaimed actress and presenter Nancy Isime, the evening began with a welcome address
by Idris Aregbe, Special Assistant to the Governor on Culture and Tourism, Lagos State, who
highlighted Lagos Fashion Week’s role in establishing Lagos as a global fashion capital. This was
followed by a heartfelt address from Senator Florence Ita-Giwa, who honored Wanni Fuga for its
impactful contributions to Nigerian fashion and culture, setting an empowering tone that highlighted
the brand’s dedication to uplifting women through style and creativity.
Esteemed sponsors played an essential role in bringing the event’s vision to life. Darling Hair and House
of Tara provided flawless styling and makeup that perfectly complemented each runway look, while
Schweppes and Laurent Perrier, the evening’s official drink sponsors, delighted guests with premium
refreshments.
Models walked down the runway gracefully, serenaded by a live musical performance featuring a
captivating piano accompaniment. The show concluded on a high note with a surprise runway
appearance by host Nancy Isime, followed by an electrifying walk from Chioma Ikokwu—widely known
as Chioma Good Hair. Her unexpected entrance in one of the collection’s standout pieces captivated the
audience, delivering an unforgettable finale.
Founder and creative visionary Toluwani Wabara closed the evening with heartfelt gratitude, reflecting
on Wanni Fuga’s extraordinary journey over the past decade. She remarked, “Celebrating 10 years of
Wanni Fuga is a dream realized, and our SS25 collection is a tribute to the journey and growth we’ve
experienced. This collection represents the evolution of our vision—embracing timeless style with
boldness, grace, and purpose.”
The commemorative collection—a tribute to Wanni Fuga’s legacy of timeless elegance and innovative
design—will be available for purchase starting November 2024 on wannifuga.com and in-store at 40
Alexander Road, Lagos, Nigeria.

5 ways to de-stress – 5 ways to de-stress…
5 ways to de-stress – As the year gradually…
As the year gradually comes to an end, life can feel busier than ever. Between holiday preparations, tying up loose ends at work, and setting goals for the new year, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.
For many, this time of year brings not only joy but also stress. The pressure to make everything perfect, reflect on the past year, and prepare for the next can be exhausting.
But the end of the year doesn’t have to leave you feeling drained. Taking some time to de-stress is essential for your mental and physical well-being. Think of it as a gift you’re giving yourself, a chance to reset and start the new year feeling refreshed.
Here are some simple yet effective ways to reduce stress before the clock strikes midnight on December 31st.
1. Reflect, don’t ruminate
It’s natural to think about the highs and lows of the past year, but there’s a difference between reflecting and ruminating. Reflecting helps you learn from your experiences and plan for the future. Ruminating, on the other hand, traps you in a cycle of overthinking and regret.
Set aside 10–15 minutes to write down your biggest achievements and lessons from the year. Focus on gratitude and what you’ve learned, rather than dwelling on what went wrong.
2. Declutter your space
A cluttered home or workspace can add to your stress without you even realising it. Clearing out physical clutter can create a sense of calm and make you feel more organised going into the new year.
Start small; pick one drawer or one section of a room to tidy up. Donate items you no longer need and organise the ones you use.
3. Prioritise self-care
With so much going on, it’s easy to neglect yourself. Taking time for self-care isn’t selfish, it’s necessary.
Schedule at least 30 minutes a day to do something just for you. It could be as simple as a walk, a face mask, or journaling your thoughts.
4. Reconnect with loved ones
The holiday season is a perfect time to strengthen your bonds with family and friends. Feeling connected to loved ones can lift your spirits and help you feel supported.
Make time for a date, a phone call, or even a loving message to someone you care about. Meaningful conversations can be a great way to release stress and build positive energy.
5. Plan for fun, not perfection
Trying to make everything perfect for the holidays or the new year can lead to unnecessary stress. Instead, focus on creating joyful moments without pressuring yourself.
Write down a few fun things you want to do before the year ends. Whether it’s watching a festive movie or cooking your favourite meal, make enjoyment your priority.
