KAREN OH KAREN

We all know Karen Igho!!!
Winner of the recently concluded BBA show. Karen was the life of the Big Brother show and she made us all watch. I was so in love with this energy filled busty lady that all i did for three months was watch her and wait for what she was going to do next.

The show is over now and she won, so as usual its been interview after interview and shoot after shoot. We at hse of nwocha got to work with the reality tv star on several shoots and magazine covers!

When i first met karen she had just gotten back from SA and was still very hyper, she won't stay in a place, it was so interesting watching her live.
I and Karen have since become friends and have worked together on different things. she is a sweetheart, very kind, considerate and as real as real can be.

THE 2011 RESORT COLLECTION

When i started designing this collection, it was an interesting process, because i was trying to make sense of  a very bad situation.

As usual, ill wake up, say my prayers, listen to the news then get on with my day but on this faithful day the news was filled with the floods and landslides aka natural disasters, happening in japan. I was so depressed and could'nt function properly for the rest of that day.

A few days later i started designing my resort collection and i dedicated it to the people of japan.

The TSUNAMI HON resort 2011 collection was inspired by the recent japan tsunami crisis in which many lives were lost. Most of us often forget that water is the strongest element in the world and as much as it seems harmless, the entire world can be consumed by it.

The Tsunami is a collection of simple and fluid pieces filled with emotions and uncertainty but also strength and hope, because after every storm the sun must shine. This collection is dedicated to the japanese people and all strong women all over the world who go through daily struggles and still come out on top, looking fabulous, elegant and graceful.

In this collection i used a lot of marine colors like gold, turquoise, yellow, purple, navy blue etc

  

hope my peace to the world message came across in the pieces.......smiling

HON Pretty Girl Rock  Fall 2011
Hse of Nwocha, recently showed its 2011 fall collection at the just concluded Arise Fashion week.
HON showed its ability to create two piece designs with out forgetting those beautiful dreSses that the label is known for.
HON's collection came as a surprise to most of the attendees who expected to see dresses but instead there was a complete surprise in store for them. Military looking jackets and velvet trousers and skirts graced the runway from HON.
The collection is called "Pretty Girl Rock" which had a lot of two piece military jackets and silk trousers, also the models finished the rock look with leather studded gloves to pull off the rock look. The shoes and studded neck pieces went a long way to make the pieces look so elegant, stylish and modern. This season has a variety of fabrics including damask, velvet, silk, lace, and also featuring a signature spiral detail.
This collection features a lot of belted structured tricked-out jackets, lace and velvet evening dresses, silk cropped trousers.
....simply put WOW
This was very new from HON and wow, it was interesting to watch.

The pieces were officially shot by ELEANOR GOODEY PHOTOGRAPHY
styled by Obinna Omeruo and make up by OMA makeovers...
All the shoes in this shoot were designed and prduced by my friend ESE all the way from atlanta, so check her stuff out on  TUTTIDOLCE.BIZ

I LOVE BACKSTAGE.....

HON 2011 Ad Campaign

When am designing a collection, it is ultimately for the purpose of showing it at a show. After sketching for days and having up to 40 or more sketches it usually has to be cut down to about 20 pieces, then we go into production and start making the actual designs.

After producing and fitting models, the actual day of the show comes and am all jitters cos with fashion shows in Nigeria its crazy but fun.

My favourite spot on show days is backstage cos that's were all the madness goes on. am running up n down, fitting models, talking to hair stylists, makeup people etc. Its always fun but i cant do it alone, always have my HON TEAM.
