I fell in love with these mud cloth inspired dresses ,shorts,skirts and pants from BCBG the minute i saw them.I checked out the prices and unfortunately I can't afford them at this time. If you have a deeper pocket then I suggest you check out your local stores. Check out more after the jump.

 When you live in the most populous country in Africa , its  hard to be a recognizable brand unless you have the talent to show for it.Being a great designer is not only about  sewing clothes, but know how to  style them ,market them , have a target market and so on .A person left a comment on this blog one day asking me "how come half of designers you present on this site are Nigerian?" I responded"
