MEET THE CELEBRANT
The delectable Anike Animashaun is one beautiful celebrity that enjoys and maintains a private lifestyle. She is very creative and highly talented. She started House of TL a year and a few months ago due to her love for fashion. She is a fashionista to the core and one can’t help but admire her each time she steps out for events or parties.
Many friends kept pressurizing her to get them some outfits she wears to a lot of events and since she has a strong passion for fashion, she decided to go into it fully and it has indeed paid off. Initially, she only concentrated on clients abroad but the demand kept increasing and that made her open a shop, so she can easily attend to clients abroad and Nigeria as well.
