•The Lady Behind New ABUJA Fashion House
When Julia Higgins Peters took ABUJA by storm with her first ever fashion show weeks back, not many people believed her story that she only started out less than six months earlier. Indeed, her outfit was only opened for business months before the event yet she was able to pull off a star-studded event that filled the Congress Hall of the Hilton with A Class guests from all walks of life including top entertainers from out of Abuja.
What many did not know is that she had established a reputation as a celebrity shopper and follower of fashion trends all over the world. According to those close to her, Julia Higgins Peters spent time outside Nigeria watching fashion trends, at times running into days from one top fashion house to another. She had established herself as a fashion buff ever before starting out. She had become something of a fashion critic, who would offer advice on what to wear and how to wear it to many of her celebrity friends and they loved her for this. Many of the people she met in the course of these trips have become friends. Moreover, she had also made friends with designers in Abuja so it was easy comparing notes and setting out to outdo the best in town.
The Diosa Vituosa boss has an impeccable fashion taste which reflected in the outfit she set up. One thing that also stood her place out is the fact that it a total beauty place for women, which is not very common. Under one roof, she has her boutique where she sells clothes designed by her as fabrics those from other reputable designers. She also deal in fabrics with her tailors in another department of an expansive building. This is done in such a way that you could see a design, pick the fabric to make the clothe and wait.
Talk about waiting, Diosa Virtuosa houses other things apart from.the design outfit. It has its wellness arm comprising of a state of the art salon, make up shop as well as a gym. What it means is that ladies could walk in and spend a long day at the gym, visit the massage parlour and subsequently end up going home in a newly designed outfit which was bought and sewn to their taste right there. Before the fashion show, maybe Diosa Vituosa was not well known, ever since the program the fashion house has become a place most celebrities love to visit.
