The Nigerian Fashion industry has lost a gem as fashion designer and icon, Remi Osholake of the popular fashion House Remi Lagos, lost her battle to uterine cancer. The designer passed on shortly after undergoing surgery in a London hospital. The designer was just 51 years at the time of her death. She is survived by a sister, Adetomi Osholake.
