The invite only opening night will include a performance by the Nigerian Soul singer Bez and on subsequent days DJ Effizzi will be on the spin machine churning out funky house tunes.

Emmy Collin`s jackets have been described as tailoring on par with London’s Saville Row greats... but with a quirky twist!! Emmy Collins stated: “Early this year I had the premonitions of an upcoming show opportunity but never envisioned collaboration with a company as rich in history as Silverbird. Ben Bruce, because of his singlehanded revolution of the Nigerian entertainment industry, is one of the men I am most impressed with in Nigeria …and it takes quite a lot to impress me. Kudos to Silverbird’s Jide Asumah as well for his professionalism and love for the arts. This truly is a collaboration made in heaven.” Other partners in the Emmy Collins Style Weekend include Aero Contractors, Africa’s reliable and e-innovative airline, operating scheduled flights to major cities in Nigeria and Accra Ghana. _ For More Info please contact: Morsi PR +234-8023341846, +234-8138388004 Emmy Collins London Emmy Collins is an avant-garde designer with a knack for sitting on the sharpest of edges in fashion excellence.

Beyonce absolutely glows on the cover of the September issue of InStyle. She rocks Dolce & Gabbana on the cover shot and the interview talks about her ambition and her drive, as well as motherhood. But we were most intrigued by the behind-the-scenes video, where Bey is accessorized with snakes. The Who Run this Muttha.... singer caused a bit of a stir by posing with a snake for the inside pages. Some have called it insensitive to animals while others find it sexy and refreshingly different than her usual editorials.

Check out the video here after the break  .What do you think ?????
