This NYFW season was my favorite by far..to get dressed up for! Each outfit I wore had its own personality but they were held together by a common theme: African Art/Prints. I am so honored and humbled by all of the newspapers, magazines, photographers & bloggers who featured me this week. It was so great to see you all again.

Here is my look from Day 4 captured by the Photodiarist

She had these very sweet words to say:

“I’ve been photographing Joy Adaeze at every NYFW for two years now

and her style never disappoints. It’s eclectic, colorful and unique…In a world

where everything is viral and everyone follows everyone,

she’s developed a look that is totally unique to her.”

Thank you!!!

This gorgeous Jewel by Lisa beaded clutch was definitely a favorite at the shows. It was so much fun to wear and surprising roomy/functional. I fell deeply with it and its sister

They are completely made of beads. And I’ve heard they each take 2 weeks to make. Amazing : )

At PJ Clarkes (across the street from Lincoln Center) with Wayman and Ty. Delicious turkey burgers!

Turbans come so naturally to me. They go so well with my personal style. Effortless, really. I love . They are a chic addition to so many looks. I have created all of my turban designs by simply playing around with them. It is amazing what can happen when you let your imagination run wild. Many people have been asking me to do a “how-to” turban tutorial video. Soon : )

I call this style the “Cinnabun”

I loved my ice cream nails!!! They were created by celeb nail artist & friend Naomi Yasuda.

She is magnificent. The best. The day she did this design, her agent called her to

let her know he had booked her for Madonna the next morning. For the superbowl. Fabulous : )

Long necklace is made of paper and is from Uganda.

I treat animal prints as special neutrals. They go beautifully with African prints!
