Best Dressed Celebrity (Fashion101 Ghana Season1)

Best Dressed Celebrity (Fashion101 Ghana Season1)

I am extremely excited that I won best dressed celeb! i feel honoured by Fashion101 and very motivated right now to maintain looking and being fabulous! Thanks to all who love my style and voted for me for the vim! Whoop! Whoop!

MY STYLE:

I tried to develop a personal style that works for me instead of following fashion trends. I use comfortable styles and always add a pop of colour and great accessories to create my signature look: casual but elegant with a hint of quirkiness. I use accessories like a pair of sunglasses or a great bag to transform the look from chic to trendy, to effortlessly glamorous. I get a lot of inspiration from the 20s and the 50s for a distinctive and sophisticated look which suits my creative free spirit.

MY PRIZE:

I get a Fashion101 plaque with the inscription ‘best dressed celebrity', an Aya Morrison swim wear, and an outfit by Nelly Aboagye of Duaba Serwa from her latest collection, Dzune. Yipeee!

Post the Dzorwulu Armed Robbery

After I gave up on Ghana Police, this is from my facebook fan page (www.facebook.com/deborahvanessa007):

If you use a blackberry, please PIN this person on 2829E07E and let them know that they are using a STOLEN blackberry. You can PIN the person without them accepting your request (he has been rejecting all requests so far). Armed robbers took that blackberry from me some days ago: BOLD 9900/9930 Smartphone. Help me frustrate the user till they help. Thank you.

After some minutes, I got a call from the user, Jones. And in the evening, I posted this on my facebook fan page:

Thanks to all those who supported me post the armed robbery. Today, the good samaritan who had been sold my blackberry immediately called me to come for it after Wanlov the Kubolor pinned him via blackberry messenger. Tomorrow, we'll assist each other in tracing the robbers to let them know not to mess with certain people. Thanks to those who shared kind words with me.

Armed Robbery in Dzorwulu

What happened to me on the 23 of March 2012 ...

This is from my facebook post on the 25 of March 2012 (www.facebook.com/deborahvanessa007):

Sorry for my silence, but I was attacked by armed robbers Friday night on my way home from work. I stopped at my girl Juomana's house at Dzorwulu and upon waiting for her to come out two young guys in a dark blue Toyota Corolla approached my car with a huge machete. They blocked my car from behind and threatened to break the glass with the machete if I didn't open up. The street was dead silent and no form of security around. Thanks to my calm nature, I just opened for them and allowed them to take what they wanted and they left me unharmed. If my girl had come out during, they would've definitely attacked her too as they would've panicked more. They wanted money and a laptop, but all I had was my digital camera and my Blackberry. They took my car key as well...Please look out for robbery in Dzorwulu, not safe at all, according to residents and the police there.

Shooting On The Rooftop

I styled myself for a personal shoot with photographer, Nii Djarbeng also known as Mewzik. We shot these on a rooftop balcony in Abelenkpe (Miss Naa of YFM former residence).

It was so much fun, relaxed and exciting. Nii is perfect to work with as he is very creative and Ms Naa was very warm with us using her home to shoot.

My bro Jimmy was also around to support and that helped me a lot.

Nii and I decided to go for teal and orange colours as a guide for our shoot : )

His website is www.niidjarbeng.com and mine is www.deborahvanessa.biz

Enjoy the pics!

DV Clothing at the Be Bold Show

The Be Bold Show was fun fun fun! I enjoyed it as I got to watch most of it. That should tell you how well organized I am, hehehe.

So my models were ready, my assistant Mz Ritz was back stage helping out, all clothes were ready, everything on point, except for the co MC forgetting to announce designer after my designs were walked, booo!

Luckily my brother was in the audience and he shouted and reminded the co MC to call out designer, haha, can you imagine?

Well, I have been ill since then and haven't blogged that's why there is a big gap in my blogging dates. I am better now and I am excited that I have pictures to show you! Yay!

Nature Collection Continued...

So the last three dresses are for models, Yawa, Flow and Claudia and they are: Golden Sunset Cocktail Dress, Golden Sunset Tutu Set and Amazonia Maxi Dress respectively. Honestly, I am not so satisfied with the way the outfits are being sewn by my seamstress (it's hard when you are not a creative person), but my time is limited. I just hope that they will look good on the runway at least and that's just in two days time!

Attend the Be Bold Show if you can on Friday the 7th of January, 2011 at the Golden Tulip Hotel in Accra from 6pm till 9pm and witness other designers too. Tickets are being sold for 60ghc at Koala, Yfm, eTV...

Nature Collection - Stage1

It's the first day of a new year, 2011 and I have been re sketching my designs for the upcoming BE BOLD Show. DV Clothing will be showcasing ten pieces alongside Mina Evans and Knaf Couture. Last year, I missed the BE BOLD Show. I would have probably modeled if I qualified, as I hadn't planned to launch my clothing line then. I was not even in Ghana at that time, but couldn't wait to be a part of it.
