It’s our first Fashion Feud of the year and it is between two of fashion’s favorites; celebrated media girl, Toke Makinwa and stylish luxury fashion retailer, Abisola Kola Daisi, both spotting the Gucci Ace Embroidered Low Top Sneakers that retails for N421,950. While Toke took the retro route styling her Gucci sneaks with an oversized tee shirt by Shop Maju, Abisola balanced out her Gucci sneaks with a simple little red dress and an artsy kimono by Meena.
