A tented Oliver Tweest Foods’ garden in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State will be the setting on Easter Sunday evening, April 12, 2009 for the first Fashion & Xrist collective, starring the singer Dani Andi, and featuring the collections of four designers Abasiema Godfrey of Basigz; Uduak Robert of DeWillz Couture, Panta and toast of the season, Favour Henry of 2Pretty4aPenny. The designs will be modeled by a roll call of girls from the House of Gazelles based in various parts of Nigeria, along with John John, the most celebrated Uyo based male model and catwalk fireworks, Tilda Jumbo, Unwana Manfred and Marylyn Etuk.
Fashion & Xrist is inspired by the story of Jesus Christ and is timed to mark His resurrection, which will result in a style and glamorous explosion as colorful as the rainbow. The collective will be shown under four themes; Life Before Xrist; The Death of Xrist; The style of His Resurrection and The Glorious Life.
Basigz will show his Retro Avant-garde pieces in black hue and shade, telling tales of the dark ages and Life Before Xrist. Dewillz collection will feature iridescent red ensembles capturing the blood that was shade on Calvary’s cross. The new life brought by the resurrection of Xrist will be displayed in the white as snow collection of Panta. A spectrum of colours from guest designer, 2Pretty4aPenny & urban gears from B&G Xclusive will take all present to The Glorious Life.
