all gloss international fashion and lifestyle publication has teamed up with
lush label VLISCO to bring fashion lovers an unprecedented night of fun and

FAB Magazine is a high-end Quarterly Fashion and Lifestyle print magazine
with 80% African Content, sold in the UK, Nigeria, South Africa and Ghana;
with plans to launch across Europe and America by 2011.
The magazine which plans to celebrate the fabulous essence of African
fashion is intended for the young, aspirational, urban professional men and
women and those aspiring to be like them.
The Magazine is the first of its kind in the African Market targeting both
male and female making it a unisex fashion and lifestyle magazine.
‘‘Guests can look forward to a night of endless drinks, dancing and
shoulder-rubbing with some of fashion and music's finest, so dress daring
and arrive on time’’ Familusi, himself a designer known for his amazing
bespoke suits, says.
Born January 25th, 1978 and raised in Lagos, Familusi is believed to be a
reincarnation of His grandfather who was a tailor and passed away a few
weeks before He was born. In 2001, when he was 23, he discovered his
interest in making his own clothes having traded in clothing and accessories
for a few years. Mostly self-taught, the young designer used his background
in the Sciences to do research in Fabric, Fit and Finishing to create
winning pieces - and the first shirt he ever produced was mistaken for a
Jermyn Street product! With the applause and exclamations that came from
clients, friends and family, the brand was born; and Exclamations Couture
has since focused on setting the standards for the tailoring of Shirts and
Suits in Africa.
FAB pioneered the production of these to the same exacting standards
obtainable in the United Kingdom studying the works and production processes
of the ancient craftsmen and designers on Jermyn Street and Savile Row
