Have you ever met this beautiful lady at a party before? If you have, you must have noticed her Fashion Style. She always stands out on account of her Looks. She always looks good all the time. She knows what fits her and she dresses to fit.
That is Olori Layinde-Macaulay
Stella Mudrakat for you. Recently Citypeople magazine got her to talk about her
fashion style and why she is usually the cynosure of all eyes at Lagos parties.
We asked her what she does for a
living and she was quick to reveal she is a businesswoman.
"I am a businesswoman. And
I deal in jewellery, shoes, bags and fabrics", she explains.
We asked her to tell us about her
pedigree and background.
"I am one of the daughters

In other words, I always ensure I make statements with my fashion style, based
on the what my fashion designer would be detailed to design with the
