To celebrate the first anniversary of her shoe brand Gbémisókè, radio host Gbemi Olagbegi-Olateru recently staged a special party in Lagos.
The event, which attracted notable celebrities such as Funke Bucknor-Obruthe, Olakunbi Oyelese, Tania Omotayo, Sasha, Omalicha, Bovi, Fade Ogunro, Dami Elebe, Olamide Akintobi, Kate Henshaw, Taje Prest, Debola Williams, Tee A and others, saw the formal launch of a new TV advert for the brand and website.
“I’m overjoyed and excited at the turn out. Starting this shoe line a year ago was terrifying, but seeing how far it has come and the reception it has enjoyed, I’m excited for the great things that are ahead. I’d like to thank everyone that came to celebrate with me, my ever loyal customers and all Gbémisókè Shoes’ supporters,” Gbemi, the Beat FM presenter said.
Created for ladies with big feet, Gbémisókè is a bespoke plus-size feminine shoe range specially designed for the discerning customer who desires to merge comfort with style.
“For women like me, who wear size 42 and above, it is very difficult to find nice shoes. Stores rarely have big sizes available and when they do, they sell out quickly. After suffering from this issue for such a long time, I decided to proffer a solution for myself and other women with big feet, thus Gbémisókè Shoes was born,” she said.
