CLAD SIMPLE BUT MAKE IT UNIQUE!!!

Everyone knows fashion is very dynamic, u know, it changes all the time. Oscar wilde said fashion is a form of intolerance that is meant to be changed every six months. It's like I'm getting to serious! lol
Anyways what I'm trying to say in essence is that dressing so complex most times is kinda stale. It's really no more in vogue Just dress simple but try as much as possible to make it unique and you are good to go. See pic below!
Now let's analyze.......This man's dressing is so wide-eyed. He's wearing a :
  • Blue J crew shirt
  • Navy H&M short
  • Blue vans
  •  black sun-glasses and a little wrist detail
If you ask me, what  makes the dressing unique is the choice of colour and fitting; the clothes are his perfect size. So we've identified two major options. Check out the pic below and analyze yourself.....
C'mon it's gonna be fun, just try to look at every detail and examine!!!


TRENDWATCH: GOLDIE IYAMU!

Hello trendwheelers!
'Chubby Fashionisto', he called himself recently, 'cos he was kinda adding weight, looool! But c'mon he is indeed a  fashionista in a good and positive way though.
I couldn't help but blog about his fashion 'cos it's just impeccable if you ask me. I used the word 'impeccable' because I think he sets his own trend rather than follow and one of the things I like about him is that he doesn't really care about what people say about his dressing and that how you become a trailblazer....kinda, u know. He attends my school !
      He's just created a brand for himself and also carved a niche for himself in the fashion world. I will still do an exclusive interview on him later so you guys should waztch out! It's Goldie Iyamu and I love his fashion like crazy!!!!  Please, lets see your comments about his fashion o.Check out more pics after the jump...

STUD LEATHER BAGS


Hello guys, I haven't been able to blog due to some issues but thank God school closed yesterday. Really sorry about that.
Nevertheless, these are some bags from a Nigerian accessory designer Dorothy Ughenu. She called her label DOT and she recently showcased some of these at the last MTN Lagos fashion week in Lagos. Most of her bags fits any occasion depending on your personality though. I think DOT's bag and purse designs are mind blowing bags 'cos of the simple but unique details on them; nice wooden handles and rivets, metal studs and straps and in fact the leather. YOU might want to get this for yourself or GF.
I bet ladies (in my school will love these bags). Check out more pics...

'BRANDING' IN FASHION

Hello trendwheelers, here is an article on branding, fashion wise though. The article however answers to questions such as:
What does a brand mean?
How does it affect you in the (fashion) world?
How do you create your brand?

You brand as it pertains to fashion is your 'style' (of dressing). Your brand is your trademark. You do have to have that in mind first-off. Thus people identify you with it easily.
'Dress the way you want to be addressed' is a cliche quote to most people, but forget that at the the moment and try to dig deep into it's meaning for some minutes. Whether you like it or not, when people see you for the first time, you create an immediate impression and the more they see you, the more you get registered into their minds with that same impression you've created from the onset they saw you. It's all normal.
It's not really what you say that matters here now 'cos obviously they see you as a person before you say a word. Your personality could be concluded upon by your appearance !
        This is where fashion comes in, (in line with what you do or your profession). Read more...
