DIPLOMATIC TREAT FOR KETO COUTURE

WIVES OF AFRICAN HIGH COMMISSIONERS/AMBASSADORS TO THE UK HOST KETO COUTURE IN AN EXCLUSIVE FASHION SHOW IN LONDON.



It was all pomp and pageantry at the Abuja House home of the Nigerian High commissioner to the United Kingdom as Keto Couture was hosted in an exclusive fashion show. The show which was put together by the wives of the African High Commissioners/Ambassadors to the UK spearheaded by Her Excellency Mrs. Salmatu Tafida, wife of Nigerian High Commissioner to the UK.

In a highly colourful and stately display of the most exquisite and elegant styles, world class models took to the runway showcasing matchless and trendy designs of the Keto Couture label. The evening was also spiced up by a cat-walk session by their Excellencies.
In her brief welcome address, Mrs.Tafida noted that this was the first of its kind and that she intends to keep promoting only the best from Africa. She paid glowing tribute to the creativity and sheer excellence in Keto designs and encouraged other entrepreneurs of African origin to emulate Keto Couture’s creativity and excellence.

Then came the time for the runway show. As the models took to the runway, the house went up in uproar with shouts of ‘Waoh! Waoh!’ rending the otherwise calm and dignified atmosphere. They all took turns to praise the designs and the designer and also called for more of such evenings.
In her speech the prolific highly talented and elegant designer,Mrs. Kenny Okorie thanked their Excellencies and in particular Mrs. Tafida for the honour done her. She said it was indeed an honour to be nominated amongst hundreds of designers from Africa for the show and promised to keep making Africa and Nigeria proud.
