Who Wore What: Kadaria Ahmed x Ituen Basi

The May issue of TW Magazine features Kadaria Ahmed, Editor of NEXT Newspapers, decked out in a colourful array of distinctly Ituen Basi accessories. Needless to say, very few designers have the balance of traditional and contemporary down pat like Ituen Basi, whose work ranges from elaborate and intricately detailed frocks to multi-purpose bows.

Kadaria Ahmed won many hearts when she moderated Nigeria's NN24 Vice-Presidential and Presidential debates. She wore Ituen Basi both times, so the choices for her TW cover shouldn't be much of a surprise.

Each piece Kadaria wears is available online courtesy of our friends at My Asho, so your  first or next Ituen Basi purchase is just a few clicks away. Happy shopping here.

This month's True Love West Africa cover girl is none other than the uber talented songstress, Lami Phillips, whose CD is in very heavy rotation at the SLiq headquarters [*coughs* one day]. Her sound is an eclectic mix of neo-soul with a dash of spoken word and uptempo lyrics that are bound to get you singing along. We dare you not to like her album, Intuition! She's certainly more than a pretty face and sings like she believes and means what she says - but don't take our word for it. Buy her CD and buy this month's True Love to see her FANTASTIC fashion spread and to get some insight into one of our favorite discoveries so far.

What do you think of her cover?
