  5. I remember modelling in one of his shows down at Walthamstow Town Hall and spilled ribena down the wedding dress that I had on. So embarassing but being the pro that I am, carried it off so well.

    Yemi is such a joy to work with and I wish him all the success that he truly deserves. Much love Kosibah..

  11. Please get your facts right. The minimum cost of a Kosibah gown is certainly not £5000!Why would you write that?
