An overwhelming sense of heroism seizes her the moment she becomes the centre of attention on stage, silhouetted by spotlights illuminating her sophisticated attire of dreamy designs. 

The designs of Trésor Brillant unveil the hidden strength of women. Ranging from abstract jewels to floral designs, they offer a glamorous and graceful look and tease the senses. The design team has created a uniquely varied collection of impressive patterns that put women on a well-deserved pedestal. 

Sizzling brilliance
With its dreamy designs featuring rich, fiery reds punctuated with intense shades of blue and green, the Trésor Brillant concept is truly diverse, ranging from the highly detailed to the highly abstract. The repetitive figurative designs appear to be infinite, while twinkling designs create a glossy look and add the perfect touch of glamour. The fabrics let every woman shine in all her allure.

Mix & match with uni colours
Combining designed with uni-coloured fabrics provides numerous possibilities to create a stunning outfit. The red, blue, brown and mustard & gold yellow shades and the Trésor Brillant fabrics form the perfect match.

Sophisticated fashion

Combined with shimmery satin uni-coloured fabrics or richly decorated with Swarovski crystals, the resulting outfit will be second to none and will make heads turn. The lace is stitched with sparkly gold-coloured materials for the ultimate glamorous touch and a number of designs have been adorned with sequins for a sophisticated accent. For the ultimate finish to your outfit, Vlisco introduces perfectly matching timeless bags and luxurious trimmings, a reflection of exquisite taste down to the very last detail.

DIAMOND BANK READY TO ACQUIRE OCEANIC BANK

[caption id="attachment_6387" align="alignleft" width="225" caption="Alex Otti,the Group Managing Director of Diamond Bank"][/caption]Few weeks after the glaring possibility of Intercontinental Bank take over by Access Bank and the financial ‘romance’ between FCMB and FinBank,Diamond Bank says it is on its way to acquire Oceanic Bank.
It would be recalled that Oceanic Bank was one of the ailing banks bailed out by Central Bank of Nigeria when the toxic debts profile of the bank became unbearable. At the peak of the crises that rocked the Nigerian financial sector, the former managing director, Mrs. Cecelia Ibru was arrested for mismanagement. She was jailed by the court.
If Diamond Bank eventually takes over Oceanic Bank, then it would be good news because Central Bank had given it up to September 30 to get a buyer.Gistmaster.com gathered that it the take over won't involve cash purchase, rather it would be a share to share combination.
At the moment, the Oceanic Bank in Sao Tome, which was owned by the bank, had been sold to Mr. Jimoh Ibrahim, a billionaire businessman, founder of Global Fleet Oil and Gas. He is also the chairman of Air Nigeria, Mirror Newspapers and Nicon Group of Companies. Ibrahim bought Oceanic Sao Tome 100 per cent.
Diamond Bank is a new generation bank under the leadership of Alex Otti, a financial expert/ He was an Assistant General Manager with UBA before he left to join Finbank. He rose to the position of executive director with Finbank before he joined Diamond Bank as MD.
It would be recalled that few months ago, the managing director of First Bank,Mr. Bisi Onasanya said his bank dropped the idea of acquiring Oceanic because it was not a good deal.
