Venus Chen



When we speak of "Untold Designers", designers who the
world has yet to
discover. We can't help but go crazy for this designer.
The quality of her works
speaks for itself. Yet undiscovered her CV speaks great
things for her. Having

the Beijing Olympics.

The care she puts into every designer she does makes
Venus Chen a designer to
look out for. A recent graduate from
London College of Fashion, Venus is seems
set to take the Fashion world by storm.


Her label VC, focuses mainly on Womenswear,
ranging from clothing to handmade
Bag, making it a label worth investing is.

String NO

Lately all I have been seeing, is a lot of people wearing this "String Vest" and they think that they are cool. My Colourful Shoes was at this year's Afro Hair and Beauty Show and we saw not one but two people wearing this string style vest. Now from the back they looked well put together. In fact one of them had a very stylish jacket one that went well with her jeans. And My Colourful Shoes thought it was hott but then when she turned round, revealing this hideous monstrosity of a vest. My Colourful Shoes quickly switch our opinion from hott to NOTTTT. People this string vest can only work if you do it like this. See picture below for reference.

Coming soon...... My Colourful Shoes View on UGG and Sweatpants.

Every woman wants to look a like a vision Elegance and beauty on her wedding day. I don't know one who doesn't want to have the "Wedding Dress" of their dreams. What I do know are the women who are queuing up to be draped Kosibah Creation on their wedding date.

The mastermind behind this beautiful fashion label that is the desire of every soon to be bride is non other than award winning designer Yemi Osunkoya. Yemi established the Kosibah Creations label in London in 1991 and named the company in honour of his mother. The name Cosiba comes from the Republic of Benin and is the day name of a female child born on a Sunday.

He has dressed many of celebrities from Kelly Rowland to Alesha Dixon. His clientele is worldwide, spanning from Nigeria to USA.

When he creates a wedding gown, he creates something that is designed to enhance the female body, to bring the beauty in her and make her shine.

Yemi Osunkoya is truly an amazing designer and someone My Colour shoes is proud to say we know and have worked with in the past and hopefully the forthcoming future. He will forever receive 2 massive thumbs up for his amazing, breathtaking creations.
