<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Guo
Pei, Dolce and Gabban and the all-time legend Alexander Macqueen are known for
the creation of dresses beyond the “art for art sake” note. Guo Pei creates
mind blowing and exceptional pieces laced with strong aura of national pride
and cultural expression, undoubtedly the pride of Chinese fashion and Macqueen's Savage Beauty, a beautiful interpretation of the occupation of
Scotland. Johanna Ortiz is a yet another designer who makes the business of
dress making more than an artistic expression but also a statement. <a href="http://www.vogue.com/contributor/alessandra-codinha"><span style="border: none windowtext 1.0pt; color: windowtext; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Alessandra Codinha</span></a>
for Vouge stressed the beauty of Ortiz’s dresses which are far more than the
marriage of fabric and femininity but the expression of patriotism. Can a pretty party dress also make a political
statement? <a href="http://www.vogue.com/13369540/johanna-ortiz-off-the-shoulder-spring-2016-trend/"><span style="border: none windowtext 1.0pt; color: windowtext; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;">Johanna Ortiz</span></a> thinks so. The well-established
Colombian purveyor of ruffled feminine frocks has found increasing success for
her statement silhouettes in the American market. But that doesn't make her any
less concerned with what's going on back at home.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Ortiz began designing her Spring collection
when it looked like Colombia would be ratifying a landmark peace treaty with
the FARC rebels that would put an end to a 52-year conflict—one that has
claimed the lives of an estimated 260,000 people. But on Sunday, a low number
(38 percent) of Colombian voters turned out and the peace deal was narrowly
defeated in a <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/03/world/colombia-peace-deal-defeat.html"><span style="border: none windowtext 1.0pt; color: windowtext; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;">referendum</span></a> in another Brexit-like shock to the
system. So, when Ortiz embroiders Give Peace A Chance on the back of one of her
military green ruffled tops, it's not just because it's cute. She really means
it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #fff2cc; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Ortiz's
most successful designs have a sort of fête-ready flair. There are wiggle
skirts with cascading ruffles, sultry off-the shoulder blouses, and snug lace
separates with dramatic sleeves and strategic flounce. Even with the passion of
making a political statement, the collection is not dampened in the political
situation. Most of the collection took inspiration from her native Colombia,
from its legacy of magical realism to its less fortunate realities. A darker
section matched a verdant green with black lace and was inspired by “the light
through the trees in the forest,” said Ortiz, pointing out some subtly sequined
bird designs. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">This
is what is most interesting for me, the cuts are so simple like the words that
jump at you from a children’s novel. But you only have to look at them in a
matter of seconds to see the innocence of each creation, the vibrate and
ethnicity that floods each creation. And the delicacy of the fabric and the soft colours, it is safe to say that the modern day woman who is bold yet shy, independent yet delicate, sultry yest polite would work well with ever piece in her collections.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Her Spring/Summer collection has a play with cool colours and her execution of pieces in Army dream is beyond a dream. She explores ruffles as well, an art i must say sits well with her collection (I am not a fan of ruffles but as do a few designers like Zuhair Murad, she make me rethink ,my stand). </span></div>

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc; font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">While the fashion world celebrates
the Autumn/Winter Season, I sit with a glass of fine wine watching the Nigerian
industry blossom into a damsel of international envy. Salute then to the
Nigerian celebrities who have tuned to the MAIN stream (Made in Nigeria). Do we
have a long way to go? Yes. Have we gone a long way? Yes. Nigerian Designers
are becoming more than fabric loving people, we are also breeders of fabric evolution.

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #fff2cc; font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">Lisa Folawiyo a Nigerian
fashion designer has proven herself effortlessly as among the brightest fashion
designers. Her Autumn / Winter collection 2015 marries a spectacularly cool palette
of colors, prints and textures. In the autumnal spirit, hems are decorated with
oak leaves and maple while pieces of paper shaped cut fabrics adorn some parts in
the creation of her look book, the dead leaves scattered on the ground that
strengthen the autumnal atmosphere. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

love about her. While this is but a glimpse of the dynamism she displays, she
makes fabric feel like rubber, flexible and impossibly submissive. I must say
she strikes me as a pace setter and permit me to say, a whisperer. While the
silhouette of each piece is fluent and uncomplicatedly spelt out, the material
is a spectacle featuring prints shaped in oak and maple tree which are
reflected, withered and dying, on the setting of the</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 150%;"> collection

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;">Folawiyo explains
that “movement, transition, and growth” are key
driving forces in this collection as seen in the arrow
prints on patterns, embroidery and straps of some of the pieces. Those
arrows therefore perfectly embody the essence and purpose of the
collection.</span><br />

typically of trees, grass and water. It is no wonder that Ralph and Russo Autumn
Winter 20I5/2016 footwear collection breeds this in every piece. Finished in
satin, suede and patent materials with ornamental filigree leaves spiralling
naturally up the heel, the Eden Heel pump harks back to the beauty and
perfection of a lost paradise. As if from an enchanted fairy-tale, entangled in
the dense foliage of the forest and claimed by a wandering damsel, the Eden
Heel pump is celestial, refined and romantic. The Eden Heel pump is easily
transformed from day to night. <b><u>The Eden pump is the locus amoenus of the shoe
world. </u></b></span></div>

Autumn Winter 2016/107 footwear collection raises the bar on the dynamism the pair
unleashes in the redefinition of what pumps and footwear in general represents. I am mostly intrigued by the rebranded image of the pump heel, easily
thought as the piece for simplicity and corporate elegance. But then, with this
collection, Ralph and Russo create timeless elegance with the detailing of the heels,
marrying them to the image of Greece and all things ethereal. The flowers and well placed leaves incorporated on the heels gives each piece flexibility and diversity on
occasion and event. <b><i><u>Love the shoes, I can literally sleep in them-never take
them off.</u></i></b><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: #fff2cc; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Something
new, something borrowed, something blue, and a silver sixpence in her shoe- in
this case, let’s say something extra spicy- <b><u>The Second Dress.</u></b> <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">The famous
saying dates back to Victorian times as many brides try to arrange their
wedding attire accordingly. Something old represents the link with the bride's
family and the past. Many brides choose to wear a piece of antique family
jewelry or a mother's or grandmother’s wedding gown. Something new represents
good fortune and success in the bride's new life. The wedding gown is often
chosen as the new item. Something borrowed is to remind the bride that friends
and family will be there for her when help is needed. The borrowed object might
be something such as a lace handkerchief. Something blue is the symbol of
faithfulness and loyalty. Often the blue item is the garter. A silver sixpence
in her shoe is to wish the bride wealth. And now, something extra spicy
represents the audacious diva in the bride.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: #fff2cc; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Traditionally,
white weddings have the bride glammed up in her Cinderella dress to meet her
prince charming by the altar with friends and family as love struck spectators.
It is famously said, <b>'it is all about the bride'</b> and Nigerian wedding these days
are making it 200% about the bride than was originally thought. From the extra
effort put into pre-wedding shots, the outfit for the day, brides maids, shoes,
make up, nails, even the food (Party rice and the tradition swallow just got a
face lift as wedding now incorporate intercontinental dishes and desserts from
cakes to ice cream to small chops and sometimes breakfast for an early
engagement-<b>talk about re-branding</b>) .<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: #fff2cc; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">With
the wave of wedding renaissance, the concept of a reception dress stands out as
a striking fascination. I for one attend weddings to feast on the bride’s
wedding dress as well as her bride’s maids. With the incorporation of the
second dress, you can be assured of two times the thrill and two times the wow,
depending on what the bride presents. In line with the booming trend, how best
can one achieve two looks and why?</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: #fff2cc; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 150%;">The
second dress is a <b>cheat platform</b> for a bride to indulge her sassy side and walk in her spot light.
Reception dresses vary from <b>length to silhouette</b>- virtually
anything in any colour and silhouette that strikes the bride’s fancy. In the
field of presenting two statement looks, I would advise to have two different
silhouette for the big day<b>( what better way to indulge your inner glam gal…lol)</b>
I recently crashed a wedding and the bride while taking her vows, walked away
with a globe award for her smashing taste in sexy conservative fashion. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Though
she slayed on all grounds, putting out the same mermaid silhouette for both the
ceremony and the reception may not have been the smartest idea. A wise woman
once told me, “make sure to wear a ball room dress for your wedding, you only
have one day to look like Cinderella and not be criticized for it.” </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">I am of the
school of thought that the second dress is a blank check for the bride to
explore more than one silhouette on her big day, thus, eliminating the stress of
what should and what shouldn’t be. Two in on wedding dresses are also easy
cards to explore more than one look for your big day, who says a skirt on a
gown cannot make a difference?</span></div>

Europe, when single wedding guests viewed the bride’s dress a symbol of good
luck, so they would chase her and rip a piece off a piece of her dress. When
wedding dresses became something that brides spent more money on, they would
throw other objects as a distraction. The bouquet, later on, became the
traditionally thrown object, since flowers symbolize fertility.</span> A<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">nother version is in France in the 1300's the bride tossed
her bouquet before she left on her honeymoon. The tradition began with the
bride tossing a garter or stocking. The bouquet symbolized a <b>bride's good
fortune being passed to the maiden who caught it</b>.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>(Imagine ripping apart a dress in
these days? I can bet you the bride would forget it's her wedding day and go all
Jackie Chan on her fellow sisters…lol) Anyway, the bouquet can be an object of
artistic presentation as it can be a form of expression either within the theme
of the wedding or the vibe of the bride. My opinion? Be audacious with your
craft. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

bouquets were so well rounded I though it a criminal offence to have a flower
set out of place. Most of all that I saw, (and I must say they were quite a
few, weddings were not among my favourite hang out spots-Weird?), were made
with organza or satin-to think about it now,<i> Lord have mercy</i>. Thank God for the
evolution of wedding ceremonies and interpretations, the little Queen has taken
up a new look, more vibrate and colourful in the right shades; She flows, runs
free, even dangles when she knights the next bride to be...lol<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Once
upon a time, my father came back from the village bearing gifts of African prints
I termed <b>Pattern Abominations.</b> Not only did they look like what old people wore,
they had the dullest colours the colour wheel could produce- <b><i>talk about a deliberate
threat to my youthfulness…lol. </i></b>I eventually tailored the dress in the most age appropriate
style I could fine. In my opinion, it still did nothing to uplift the
ancient-ness of the fabric. So, that was a good 9 years ago, what has change
between then and now? Is it me or are these once thought dull fabrics now becoming
the most sort after pieces for making revolutionary fashion statements both in
Africa and beyond her boards?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">In
Nigeria, we have the weirdest names for some African prints; most famous, ‘Back of Fish’,
Jumping Horse’, ‘Scattered keys’, ‘Moon and Star’, ‘Oga Madam’, ‘Star’, ‘ABC’, ‘One
thousand Blocks’, ‘Television’, ‘Palm kernel’, to name a few. My mother and
99.9% of the women I knew as a child and till date have this emblems of
motherhood <b>(or so I thought they were)</b> I had a love-hate affair with the back
of fish and Jumping Horse material, but now, my mind is literary bursting with
what I could do with this once thought old print-the endless possibilities.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">Lebanese haute couture is a
glamorous with the perfect marriage of Gowns drape seductively; splits are
thigh-high; fabrics are sheer and sparkling with embellishments probably best
known for conflict than high fashion. Lebanon is considered the jewel of
the Middle East and has been dominated by the great human civilizations
precious planet like the Roman, Persian, Greek, Arabic, Ottoman and more
recently France. Currently, the people of Lebanon are very modern and can
dare to be called the most fashionable in the Arab world. Contrary
to the modest dresses associated with the country, Lebanese designers have
poured out a sea of sultry and elegant couture.The tiny cosmopolitan nation of
Lebanon has produced a dazzling breed of designers making a significant mark in
the international fashion industry. Notable among them are <a href="http://www.zuhairmurad.com/" style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; outline: none;" target="new"><span style="border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0cm; padding: 0cm;">Zuhair Murad</span></a>, <a href="http://www.reemacra.com/" style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; outline: none;" target="new"><span style="border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0cm; padding: 0cm;">Reem Acra</span></a> and <a href="http://www.eliesaab.com/" style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; outline: none;" target="new"><span style="border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0cm; padding: 0cm;">Elie Saab</span></a>, each of whom have had their dresses fit to
celebrities over the years. Zuhair Murad acknowledges his country's unexpected
presence on the global fashion scene, which he attributes in part to its
position on the map.<b><i>"I think the geographic location of Lebanon on
the Mediterranean Sea helps the Lebanese designer to travel abroad and present
their collections all over the world," </i></b><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">True to the star beaming on the fashion terrain of Lebanon, Elio Abou Fayssal creates a distinction for himself among the pace setters of modern fashion.Discovered at a very young age, Elio
Abou Fayssal’s infatuation budded after his graduation from ESMOD with
excellent grades. Grounded on mesmerizing qualities and discipline, Elio Abou
Fayssal’s talent in mastering the blend of classical luxury dresses completed
with a modern touch soon became clear. All designs created are based on
excellence in quality of fabrics to achieve the privilege of fashion
extravagance. The dresses elude femininity with dresses sculpted to the body aiming
<b>to express the peaks of femininity.</b> It is thus no wonder that each unique piece
lingers in an infinite and never ending state of <b>originality, inventiveness,
and fashion sophistication</b>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"> <span style="line-height: 150%;">Elio Abou Fayssal’s Spring Summer
Collection 2015 features interesting, delicate and power themed pieces. The colours,fringe, mesh,
applique, lace, satin are all married in perfect matrimony. My personal favourite
is the purple appliqued dress. The delicacy and placements of the butterflies
not only provides audacious comfort but also a whimsical feel. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">According to Zeina Karam, The gowns (by
Lebanese designers) are cut low in the front, slashing down to the navel, or
low in the back, swooping below the waist, inset with delicate see-through
fabric. They couldn't be further from the modest dress generally worn by women
in the Muslim Arab world.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #fff2cc; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">Abou Fayssal works around these
qualities with a craftful measure of uniqueness producing a finale true
to the unrestrained, indubitable and yet overpowering and deliberate femininity attributed to
Lebanese designers.</span><br />

natural afro-textured hair. It is no distant knowledge that some African perm
their hair to make it more tameable or in lack of a better word, bearable. The
natural hair trend has rocked the hair scene for a while now with more than one
trend emerging for the clan from twists to the fro <b><i>(a reinvention of the 90’s and
total timeless)</i></b> to crochets, simple corn rows and to the most tribal,
Bantu Knots. <b><i>(Can I just say that Bantu Knots remind me of cinnamon rose? How I
would love to chew on that now…lol)</i></b>. Easy and flexible to wear, Bantu
knots can be worn by anyone but of course have an African origin and according
to Amanda Moore-Karim on her piece of the hair style wore by models in
Valentino's pre-fall 16 look book affirms that "bantu knots, a hairstyle
that can be traced back to West Africa, carry substantial meaning in black
culture and are representative of black pride”</span></span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

growing artistic appetite of the man and woman of class. </span><b style="line-height: 16.8pt;">The Fishtail dress</b><span style="line-height: 16.8pt;"> (<i>the high and low skit as it is now called)</i> was
born in the Victorian era and implemented in formal and casual dresses, and has of </span><span style="line-height: 22.4px;">course</span><span style="line-height: 16.8pt;"> evolved with time appearing at different eras with different levels
of popularity and implementation. </span></span><span style="line-height: 16.8pt;">During the 19th century, it became a
trend in the mid-1870s, reappearing in the early 1880s and later in women's
formal gowns and evening dresses throughout the 20th century, particularly in
the late 1920s and early 1930s, where lowering hemlines were a mask that would
start off 1930s silhouettes.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">Emerging again in Europe
and America in late 2011, the high low silhouette eventually became a
worldwide fashion in spring and summer 2012.The silhouette has been given a
variety of names by designers and the press, including <b>asymmetrical</b> and <b>waterfall, </b>with
the most derisive term being <b>"M<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mullet_skirt" title="Mullet skirt"><span style="color: windowtext;">ullet Skirt</span></a>",</b> used by Britain's<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daily_Mirror" title="Daily Mirror"><span style="color: windowtext;">Mirror</span></a><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>newspaper

white wedding is a day to indulge fantasies and take the glass slipper <b><i>(and Prince
of course)</i></b> from the 1950 fairy-tale beauty. Beaded, glittered, satin, chiffon,
sheer, lace, long short, ball room, mermaid, trumpet, A-line, sheath, two pieced, pants, short, strapless,
full sleeved, short sleeved, sweet heart, scoop, illusion neck line…and so the
list goes on and on. Her mind literally runs through a mesh of details to
conjure the prefect dress.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">Now comes the challenge,
would you dare to make an aisle debut in a <b><i><u>Mullet silhouette?</u></i></b> Long or short, it
would turn heads and make a trend of the bride. I for one find it completely
audacious to pull off an unconventional style for the big Cinderella day. Designer have also incorporated the cut, creating a wide range of options for looks, personality, definition, aura and expressiveness as a whole</span></div>

running through clothes, wondering what the sex of my sister's baby
was going to be. Clueless about both sex and weight I picked all
kinds, well mostly unisex cloths; shades of pink that would not be weird on a
boy and blue that would not be far from expressing the little sassy in a
girl <b><i>(nothing is a waste when it comes to baby clothes anyway right?
lol ). </i></b>And the best piece was the<b><u> Blanket</u></b>. Of
course I could not help wondering if he or she would be attached to the blanket
as I see children do in American movies (<b>Frankly <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>I thought it a weird relationship and
still do so why the thought? Ask me a year and two months ago).</b></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">African fashion if to be described in one word I would say
"<b>Bewildering".<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></b>Playing
on safe grounds and then occasionally testing the waters of
complexities and dynamism, African fashion has flourished as a renowned
contender in the international fashion word. The tale of tales for African
designers has more meaning than the view through a looking glass as designs are
not just built around soft edges, delicate silhouettes,
couture and ready-to wear creations but leaves an usual hint of
surprise and byzantine softness. Complexity in simplicity-<b>Chrite Brown, Deola
Sagoe, Mai Atafo, Wanna Sambo </b>among the numerous designers emerging in the multi-faceted
continent.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">My intrigue with I AM ISIGO lies solely in the dexterity in
the expression of themes and life in fabric manipulation. In their recently
release Autumn Winter collection 2016<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><b>"Come
of Age"<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></b>, pieces are
more daring yet delicate with an edge that takes it out of the comfort of a
regular ready-to-wear the brand creates. According to the brand on recent release,<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;"> “The phenomenon of expression without foresight via
reflection, how fashion has become an art form that elevates and celebrates the
body making it the<span class="apple-converted-space"><b> </b></span><b>ultimate
canvas</b>.”</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

the brand's uniqueness especially when taking into close study previous

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"><b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Taboo Collection Spring Summer 2015</span></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"> was a very interesting presentation as the pieces were
presented in dark power colours still maintaining the expression
of femininity while telling the story intended. The
pieces are built with a play on <span style="letter-spacing: -.05pt;">materials ranging from crinkled taffeta with elastane, knitted
metallic fibres, tape lace, needle lace and Gabardine, to create a
series of ponchos, trousers, shorts, bomber jackets and strapless
pieces.</span> According to OkayAfrica.com <span style="letter-spacing: -.05pt;">Spring/summer 2015 collection inspired by the <b>Wodaabe<strong style="box-sizing: inherit; opacity: 0.8;"> </strong></b>(also known as
“People of the Taboo), a nomadic Fulani ethnic group in the Sahel
known for their elaborate ceremonies and traditional attire. On the
inspiration behind <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Taboo</em>, a description on IAMISIGO’s website
explains: “IAMISIGO respectfully pays homage to aspects of the Wodaabe culture
deemed ‘TABOO’; from the years of silence taken by married couples after the
birth of their first child, to the ‘yaakye’ festival where the men’s songs and
dances for the women are rewarded with a show a sexual prowess. ‘TABOO ‘pulls
not only from the Wodaabe culture, but also from the contrast it provides to
other cultures and what they deem as ‘TABOO’; the taking of new sexual
partners, the years of silence between couples, the feminine display from the
men, all pull together the collection.”</span></span></span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">The East of West
collection tells its tale in contrasts of White and Black, Grey and Silver,
Yellow and Gold; done in silk, crepe de chine, cotton-poly blend, light tweeds,
cotton twine, polyamide twine and mohair wool.Inspired by parallels between the
designer’s youth and the American film Calamity Jane. 1950’s western, that
chronicles a young Doris Day who embraces the duality of a masculinity and
femininity, first as a ‘tomboy’ and then as a woman in pursuit of love.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">The collection has strong western themes, evoking fringed
hems, lapels and boxy cuts, embracing the ‘feminine’ art of crochet, the final
frontier of truly bespoke clothing with hand-crocheted lattice dresses, flared
pants and jackets, with traditional doily patterns exaggerated for effect. The Ultra-feminity
and hyper-masculinity contrast and complement each other and ultimately, birth
a truly liberated woman, <b>East of West</b>.</span><span style="background-color: #fff2cc; line-height: 150%;"> </span><span style="background-color: #fff2cc; line-height: 150%;">Its colours and
fabrics emphasize this study of contrasts, using twine traditionally prevalent
in masculine environments to craft the feminine crocheted pieces. Fringed tops,
dresses, jackets and pants in feather light silk and cotton create androgynous
silhouettes that both celebrate and satirize the manly stereotypes Westerns
have become associated with.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Remember
the iconic cape dress elegantly debuted by Rihanna at the MET GALA 2015? It did get a
lot of mixed feelings didn’t it? The most famous was its being likened to a
well baked pizza (<b><i>lol, some people have no </i></b></span><span style="line-height: 24px;"><b><i>chill</i></b></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">) Well what most people do not know is that that iconic
creation is a master piece of<b> Chinese couturier Guo Pei</b>; a creation intricately
crafted with real gold thread in a space of 20 months. Uniqueness precedes her
designs and I for one, am a profound lover of her close attention to detail and
cultural interpretation in ever collection and creation. Guo Pei as an advocate
for cultural preservation and artistic diversity, have her views </span><span style="line-height: 24px;">unapologetically</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"> resonated in her designs as
well as the details that elevate them.<o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; letter-spacing: 0.3pt; line-height: 150%;">She explores fabric, shape and texture to resonate <b>meaning,
telling stories that paintings and embroideries have conveyed throughout the
centuries</b>. With Guo Pei’s attentive support, embroiderers perpetuate a
tradition that will endure as the very fabric of time. Although her work is
necessarily anchored in tradition, it also constantly sails towards
contemporary innovation. In spite of the infinite discipline and rigor they
require, Guo Pei’s creations always are a canvas to be used for artistic
expression and freedom.</span><span style="line-height: 150%;">

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">During the 1500s and
1600s, two centuries of exploration and discovery, there was a strong desire to
know about the costume of other nations.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><strong>Costume
books with engravings, but also painting became important sources of
information.</strong><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>By the end
of the 1600s it was even in fashion to collect fashion engravings! Around the
same period, fashion for the first time became a topic in periodicals and in
the 1700s<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><strong>pocket books</strong><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>with small and uncoloured fashion
illustrations enjoyed a wide circulation. By the end of the 18th century, the

dedicated to fashion only.</strong><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">The 1800s were the heyday of the fashion plate and saw the
emergence of a large number of fashion magazines. There were even lower priced
black-and-white and more expensive hand-coloured versions of the same magazine.
Another development in fashion illustration were<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><strong>plates that not just showed
the clothes, but depictions of women wearing them in social contexts</strong>,
illustrating the appropriate circumstances for the clothes to be worn. The late
1800s saw the beginnings of experimentation with fashion photography, but even
then magazines copied photographs through engravings.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc; font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">In the early 1900s, fashion
photography became a more dominant medium. The large circulation of fashion
magazines had led to a decline in the artistic quality of fashion plates. It
was Paul Poiret who reinvented the
fashion plate by commissioning artists to depict his designs. From
the 1920s </span><span style="line-height: 24px;">onward</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">, fashion illustrations were often featured on magazine
covers. They did not necessarily reflect the content of the magazine, but were
seen as work of arts by
themselves. Fashion had become art.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">After WWII, the fashion plate still blossomed in fashion
magazines, but from the 1960s onward it was replaced by photography as the
main conveyer of fashion.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><strong>Fashion
illustration largely disappeared from magazines, although there was a revival
in the late 1980s, </strong>reminiscent of the style of the 1920s.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">Nevertheless, up until today fashion illustration is
considered an art form and, thanks to the digital revolution, is<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><strong>experiencing a renaissance</strong>.

<span style="background: #fff2cc; color: black;">Antonio Carlos Soares is yet another
brilliant illustrator who came into the world of fashion through his love for
painting.Born on July 4, 1973 In Portugal and currently living in Oporto,
Porto, Portugal, his illustrations are executed with water colour and have an
almost solid touch of magical realism.His illustrations explore simplicity in a
whole new dimension as his paintings are laid against
pain backdrops that pull the focus to the intensity yet mild creations. </span><span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">When asked by Jenna Mcarthur about his inspiration for exploring Fashion illustration, Mr Carlos Soares asserted, “It was never my intention to be a fashion illustrator. I took a degree in painting but always liked drawing. Illustration has always been the area to which I have devoted for pure pleasure so it is something that just happened naturally. I collaborated with a Portuguese designer Nuno Baltazar and from that moment I started to develop my personal project to illustrate Portuguese fashion designers. <b>I believe that fashion illustration is a perfect medium for telling stories, and I build my narrative, based on the amazing work of fashion designers</b> and is an area that I have been developing these last few years because, and above all, I like fashion!"</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Pre wedding planning is more than a
string of decision making, it is a definition of personality and character. Too
much? Lol, well that's how I see it anyway. A friend of mine would be getting
married soon and my brain was literally sour with deliberating on colour
combination for both the white and the traditional wedding. For these who do
not know, a typical Nigerian wedding runs through two phases;<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">Common to Nigerian Celebrations is the Asoebi- </span><span style="line-height: 24px;">which</span><span style="line-height: 150%;"> can vaguely be defined as clothing a particular set of people in identical material for easy identification. </span></span></div>

friends, families, bridal train, community groups all identified with a particular fabric and colour. I passed
by a bunch of wild flowers with bursting with different shades of colours, and thought to
myself, "Why don't we ever look to nature for the ultimate colour
combinations whenever an event comes up instead or running like headless chickens int he fabric market?"</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">It is worthy of note that Asoebi runs into occasions that pull the crowd in a typical Nigerian society, occasions beyond wedding like burials,
Child dedication and naming, launching at religious places, thanksgiving etc.
Candied advise, don't stress when you have to pick out a colour palette for an
occasion. Go to the flourish shop or a stretch of vegetation and let nature
show you her rainbows.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><b><i>Did I mention that consultation is free? Nature is such a sweetheart

the sandals they usually wore. This alternative is very attractive and give an

featuring a wingtip broguing on the toe and along its seams and rises over the
ankle. It finds its roots in the Victorian era when the choices in men’s shoes
were very limited. During this time, men could only wear boots with day wear or
pumps for evening wear. Because of the limitation of styles available to men,
the Dress Boot became an intermediately formal dress shoe option that was worn
to formal day occasions like tea or a formal lunch. Now, the dress boot’s place
in menswear has remained quite similar as a great alternative to your typical
dress shoe that’s perfect for formal day wear. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">Fashion
illustration as an art is yet to gain a wind ground in Africa. The
delicacy of fashion interpretation is just as the affair between the pen of a
poet and his heart. Fashion interpreters like<b> Megan Hess, Hayden Williams </b>(my
all time favorite), <b>Paul Keng</b> among other brilliant illustrations have flooded
the international fashion industry with breath taking fashion illustrations,
stories and visions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">Africa
is still a young bride in the international fashion industry and her initiation is
moving at very impressive paces as designer create pieces that speak more
about the inner spirit of the continent, expressing also the depth of her riches
than a mere imitation of that which we see beyond our shore. <b>Christie Brown,
Deola Sagoe, Weiz Drum Fraklin, Orange Culture, Wanna Sambo, Twenty six, Sisiano
Paolo</b> are designer fast drilling into the fashion industry. Fashion
illustrators from Africa are too becoming known and
carving a niche for themselves. Papa Oppong is one of those who have made international name for himself in the Fashion world.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Papa Oppong (Born Papa Oppong Bediako) is a 22 year old fashion studentborn and raised in Ghana – West Africa. He is mostly known for his amazing fashion sketches and decided to take his love for fashion and art and turn it into a career. In an interview with Omoge Mura, Oppong affirmed, “I never really considered myself an artist to be honest. I knew I loved fashion and the runway and how graceful a woman looked on the catwalk and I loved interpreting that on my paper. Basically I have always loved the idea of creating my own “ideal woman” and then dressing up this “ideal woman” my own way. I watched a lot of runway shows and followed many designers’ stories as time went by and this helped me with my own creations.</span>”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I’m a very simple person on the outside but the real madness happens inside my head. I like to think of myself as a poet and a storyteller. In my mind there are so many stories waiting to be told and the only way I know how is through the collections I create. “Art-chic” –my ideal muse; the modern woman who is fearless and willing to take bold fashion risks- like an art piece that seeks to provoke. For an artist to remain relevant, he must be questioned constantly.</span>”</span></div>

transcendental, timeless and daring are but a polite adjectives to describe and
summarize the creations of this Nigerian designer. Weiz Dhrum Franklyn
graduates form the level of safe silhouettes to textured and appliqued
creations. Wisdom Chidiebube Anaba was born in Nigeria on 12th December,
1990, the youngest out of four children. At an early age, he aspired to be a
pilot but fell into the arms of the arts. He embraced the vivacious feel around
theater, music, fashion & photography. While growing up, he was part of a
musical group which consisted of himself and his three siblings called<b> “The
Sweet Psalmist”</b></span></span></div>

began shopping for fabrics, sketching, read fashion journals which enlightened
his senses on art and craft. He fathered his education in the University of
Lagos where he studied Theatre Arts. During his studies, he distinguished
himself with his over the top dress-sense and extra-ordinary creativity where
he showcased in a campus fashion show. As he grew, his fashion sense became
more defined and precise; paying great attention to high fashion, haute couture
and Ready-to-Wear pieces. He has shared the runway alongside Orange Culture, House
of Nwocha and other great designers at the Lagos Style Week 2011.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

focus majorly on craftsmanship which is evident from first to last piece. The
true nature of Weiz Dhurm Franklyn is the evident infusion of contrasting
elements; tradition and modernity, femininity and masculinity, strength and
weakness, death and life. Being influenced by art and craft, great attention is
paid to detailing, sharp cutting, pattern creation which all embraces body
forms. Each piece is crafted and created from an in-depth knowledge on
bespoke tailoring, hand bead detailing which heightens great workmanship for
couture pieces and impeccable finishing.</span></span></div>

he explores the intrigued story of <b>Bridget Bishop</b> who was
accused of witchcraft during the Salem witch trials in 1692. He dives into her
sense of fashion, living and lifestyle and how it differed from the puritans
and the women in the society causing the uproar of the accusation.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

this collection as it captures the rebellious and audacious personality of the
late Bridget Bishop whose style was characterized by </span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">black cap or a black hat, and a gown with a
red paragon bodice bordered and looped with different colors. A fashion
expression that was considered both scandalous and unfit for
a Puritan society.</span></span></div>

Bridget as a dominant, provocative, powerful and outspoken figure in a time
where she had the heart of a man in the body of a woman, making her King.The
collection is filled with black as a re-occurring colour, strong silhouettes,
feminine and provocative cut-outs, embellishments, voluminous gowns, velvet and
silk betraying the lust for cheap values while combining it with rich textures.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

mere mermaid cuts and flares, they are aired with pride and
unapologetic audacity with mesh, appliques, satin, velvet, fabrics for a woman
willing to test the world outside the conservative dictates.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Marchesa's Fall 2016 is
what happens when the love of design and draping and textile creativity is
judiciously combined. Creating yet another breath taking dresses for their
Fall 2016 collection, the dynamic duo Georgia Clapman and Keren Craig where not
only able to seduce the hearts of fashion lovers but also <b>quintessentially
establish the image of the woman of beauty. </b><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">Characterized by tulle
and three dimensional embroideries and applique, delicate </span><span style="line-height: 24px;">silhouettes</span><span style="line-height: 150%;"> and </span><span style="line-height: 24px;">drapes</span><span style="line-height: 150%;">,the dresses are created each
with its own unique personality and aura. The collection floated around the
concepts of Modern arts, ancient fashion embellishments, conservative perceptions
and royal carriage. The black tulle dress with plum and red flowers cascading the front let's out the vibe of a young, powerful and yet delicate
Queen (almost like a re-branded and redefined Marie Antoinette)<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The dresses come off as
royal and yet a perfect choice for the woman of elegance. The detailing on each
dress strikes the divine cord as the execution is nothing short of <b>PERFECT</b>. Accessories(Head piece, chunky neck pieces and drop earrings)were also well planned and selected as they were bold and elegant to express the underlying theme of the <b>Exquisite and Royal.</b></span></span></div>

my favourites as from the line of exceptionally detailed dresses, picking on
would be completely impossible. The ruffles at the hand and base of the dress
is not only fierce but extremely audacious with the right shade of red and
general silhouette. I personally believe that a woman who can pull off the
prefect dress in an off-shoulder cut is to be respected. Though the mesh of the
dress sits on the shoulders, first look at the dress would allow it to be categorized under the off-shoulder cut.</span></span><span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

and thought, Italy, home to one of the world’s most influential fashion labels {Dolce and
Gabbana- D&G}, has yet again set its richness as muse to the talented
Stella Jean. In beautiful creations and silhouettes, Jean has created a face
for the use of the African prints beyond safe grounds as she merges her Italian

emerging Haitian-Italian fashion designer and former model, whose cultural
identity often provides inspiration for her eponymous label, Stella was born in

father, Marcello Novarino</span>.</span><span style="line-height: 150%;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">The use of her mother's maiden name for the brand was a deliberate move
to equally represent both parts of her heritage; a consideration that is also
evident in her collections.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">By July 2011,the self-taught designer was one of the winners of the
prestigious Vogue Italian talent contest </span><b style="background-color: #fff2cc;">Who
Is On Next</b><span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">; despite the fact that her application had been previously been
rejected two years in a row. Jean has established her signature aesthetic as a
merging of the </span><b style="background-color: #fff2cc;"><u>exoticism of her
creole heritage and the craftsmanship of her Italian roots</u>.</b><span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"> In an
interview with the Telegraph, she asserted , </span><b style="background-color: #fff2cc;">“I want to communicate through clothes a concept of opposite worlds and
traditions fusing together in a sophisticated way and standing side by side
with equal importance, not covering the other up,"</b><span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"> .</span></span><span style="background-color: #fff2cc; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"> Afro
Caribbean culture and a Euro influence, with the slight hit of Asia permeates
her designs. Her accessories are exaggerated and bigger than the average wrist and
neck sizes<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">The crafty blend of two rich heritage gives
her collections a rich, textured surface with in-depth reflections. Grounded on
conservative rules, her designs are crafted with bold prints and rich colours .The
result is <b><u>classic feminine tailoring</u></b>.
For Jean's spring/summer 2014 collection, she collaborated with the
International Trade Centre's Ethical Fashion Initiative. As a result, the
printed fabrics for this collection were sustainably sourced, hand-crafted and
aimed at helping trade workers in disadvantaged communities in Africa.</span></div>

fashion the necessary room to make two opposite identities breathe and
conciliate finally. Having been born and raised in the Italy of the eighties,
as the result of a multiracial family, even if a “Milieu asie”, it ain’t been
easy or painless. I started fashion as a model, and since the very first time I
set foot in the fashion designer’s studio, I knew I was in my element. It was
the right place to be, but the wrong way to be there. Eventually, I made some
changes and found my own style, which allows me to express myself as a
designer. When I first presented my collection in July 20111 at “ Who is Next”;
AltaRoma and Vogue context in Rome, it represented to me a way to bring peace
between the two most important parts of my personality; the European and the
Creole. It’s not easy to find balance in an emotional conflict such as the one
I experienced between these two parts of my soul. Fashion gave me strength and
a fresh start"-<b>STELLA JEAN</b></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">This
is not particularly fashion post but then again, Christmas has inspired a lot of fabric creations. Yep, its that time of the year and Christmas is already fluttering its wings in the air,causing joyful ripples in the
hearts of many. Funny how a place is literally lit up by the sheer idea of
Christmas. Remember that chubby white bearded man we all have grown to love and
see as the iconic representation of Christmas? <b>YES, FATHER CHRISTMAS.</b> Well I
thought long and hard and wondered, what Christmas look like if we were not
handed the image with which to define the season. But then again, what is
Christmas? I think it’s more, yeah, more than the blinking lights of many, many
colours with a towering plastic or freshly harvested Christmas trees. I must
say I am particularly fascinated by the tree-why does it have to be such with a
bust of decoration dripping all over it? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Christmas meant a time when I had to endure the bad Christmas dresses and
awesome white rice and stew my mother made. As time went by and I understood
what it meant to have a relationship with God, I understood Christmas to mean a
time when the most miraculous event in the world took place; when God took the
position of man in order to elevate him to the position of God. It is still a
mystery that I am trying to unravel, but these days, I look forward to
Christmas because I love the contemplation of the love of a God who didn’t give
up on his own children.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

reconnect with my family, friends and smile more. My other word for Christmas
would be 'Love’, people actually give more than they can imagine at Christmas,

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Long before the advent of Christianity,
plants and trees that remained green all year had a special meaning for people
in the winter. Just as people today decorate their homes during the festive
season with pine, spruce, and fir trees, ancient peoples hung evergreen boughs
over their doors and windows. In many countries it was believed that evergreens
would keep away witches, ghosts, evil spirits, and illness.</span><u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">In the Northern hemisphere, the shortest
day and longest night of the year falls on December 21 or December 22 and is
called the winter solstice. Many ancient people believed that the sun was a god
and that winter came every year because the sun god had become sick and weak.
They celebrated the solstice because it meant that at last the sun god would
begin to get well. Evergreen boughs reminded them of all the green plants that
would grow again when the sun god was strong and summer would return.</span><u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">The ancient Egyptians worshiped a god called Ra, who had
the head of a hawk and wore the sun as a blazing disk in his crown. At the
solstice, when Ra began to recover from the illness, the Egyptians filled their
homes with green palm rushes which symbolized for them the triumph of life over
death.<o:p></o:p><u1:p></u1:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">Early Romans marked the solstice with a feast called the
Saturnalia in honour of Saturn, the god of agriculture. The Romans knew that
the solstice meant that soon farms and orchards would be green and fruitful. To

devout Christians brought decorated trees into their homes. Some built
Christmas pyramids of wood and decorated them with evergreens and candles if
wood was scarce. It is a widely held belief that Martin Luther, the
16th-century Protestant reformer, first added lighted candles to a tree.

his family, he erected a tree in the main room and wired its branches with
lighted candles.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

still get stares when I stroll into the salon with my natural hair in all its
kinki glory, seating proudly on my head. “Don’t you want to relax your hair”?
That’s a question I get a lot from the salon attendants. I can’t say I blame
them, for the most part of it, media and the social ideology silently rings a
note stating that you have to have a weave cascading down your back as a black to
win the fashionista award. I love to wear my hair natural because I think it’s
funky and as we in Nigerian would say, <b>‘its my
selling point’.</b>..lol Well, let’s talks African hair as a fashion signature.</span></div>

It is pretty much the same way race has been prodded and analysed, black hair is also being guided into the racial discourse and its fine except that many people seem to make the mistake of assuming that natural hair is about making some sort of statement about who you are, it is not. A woman should wear her natural hair because she has come to the realization that her beauty includes her hair and can’t be defined for her by people who do not understand other concepts of beauty but their own. African writers, musicians, artists and other artisans tend to carry their natural hair as a statement that borders on defiance. It is because they have come to accept who they are. So in essence, not perming your hair is simply someone accepting that they like that kinky hair is unruly, difficult, slavish and burdensome.”</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">Wedding are indeed the bride's day,or are they not? Well, she is at the tailors taking measurements for the parents, the brides maid, herself, and <b>the groom?</b> He is on what we in Nigerian would say OYO ISLAND[<b>On Your Own</b>] lol. Though he still has to be dashing, <b>yeah</b>?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">Contrary to popular belief, muslin brides are rising to the occasion of gorgeousness at their weddings. I always had this notion that the Hijab was the only ornament to touch up the Muslim bride. But alas! more is sprung in wedding expression. Muslim designers have sort more flexible styles for their brides, roaming within the confines of their religious prescriptions . </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">Back home in the Northern part of Nigeria, I always saw the bride in floor length Hijabs in the consistent colour of brown. To think that that is the day the bride can live out her Cinderella fairy tale.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">Regardless, the bride is indeed the center of attraction for the big day and there is no denying that the versatility of the Modern Muslim bride has brought new name to the Conservative Cinderella. A typical Muslim bride is not allow to expose her legs, arms, torso and other delicate parts of her body which is why the Hijab was widely used and still used as wedding regalia. The Modern Muslim bride now explores ways to be both the boom shell and still express the tenets of modesty</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">Nigerian Muslim brides have not only paid due homage to this evolution, they have also created a niche that is becoming positively infectious. The dresses are elaborate, heavily embellished and most of the time with a rainbow affair</span></div>
