Developing your Own Unique Style

  Let me begin by saying that finding your personal fashion style is about getting to know yourself. It's about being connected with the very essence of who YOU are - and be confident about it!

      So WHAT exactly is the YOU and what does it have to do with fashion?.

      Imagine a world (call it "Sameville") where everybody wore the same clothes. A place where they had the same style and liked the same things. Now that wouldn't exactly be the most colorful and stimulating world... would it?

But the sad reality is - the majority of people tend to go this route when it comes to clothes! So this is where developing your style comes into the picture.

Dare to be yourself and wear the clothes that express the unique and fabulous person you are! Color this life with shapes, colors and styles - and be the shining example of the beauty of diversity .

      Creating your own personal style is the art of combining an outfit, or an image if you will, based on the various aspects of your personality and lifestyle, which consists of:

Your taste, interests, desires, inspirations, aspirations and history. You bring a couple (or all) of them together and let it shine in the way you dress. But of course, only the aspects you want to express and show to the world!

Creating your unique style helps you achieve a sense of confidence and comfort in how you put together an outfit. This sets you apart from the rest - the awkward-looking fashion victims you see out there on the street and in the cookie-cutter media.

        Fashion and style are two different things but similar in so many ways.

Fashion is about looks and image that are popular in a specific time and period. Style on the other hand, is more about expressing your individuality through clothes, and it doesn't have an expiration date. It's more REAL.

Fashion gives you the inspiration, ideas and the nudge to dare - and style is what you make out of it.

It takes a lot of trial and error to find your personal clothing style, so don't worry about making mistakes along the way. In fact, developing your personal fashion style is a journey not a destination. Experimenting and just having fun help you get to know yourself better.

         Style is a way of expressing feelings from our inside. It differentiate people in the sense that it characterize a particular person or a group of people , makes u
s understand where we are from.

Style is eternal it never fades, the only occurrence in style is bringing it out in different ways.“Style is the difference, a way of doing, a way of being done” says a famous fashion quote.

Involvement of confidence must appear in a style,due to the fact that is the ability to inspire others. Most importantly while 'rocking' a style, one must show the spirit of comfort.

      Attitude mostly appears in style because is an own signature,  in other to be irreplaceable one must always be stylishly differential. Style brings out fashion content on "what to wear", "when to wear", "how to wear", and where to wear it too...............

My Little Take On Ankara Fabric

 I love ankara, it obviates a love for everything afrocentric, but for some reasons women seem to use these beautiful fabrics to do seemingly fashionable pieces, but no stand out pieces.

So if you’re interested in rocking ankara but rocking it with a difference, here’s a few items you should acquire;• CUTE SHORTS: Jumpsuits, Bags, Most importantly accessories.           

         Ankara is now used to create the most beautiful and breathtaking fashion accessories, such as: Hairbands, Earrings, Rings, brooches, Bangles, Necklaces, Neck bibs, Shoes, Bags, Laptop pouch etc .
       
         Presently;in Nigeria ankara fabrics is a bomb which has exploded to every part in the country in fashion view.Ankara clothings introduces you to a new insight on what fashion is really about.
         
        Ankara add flavour to any outfit any day. It's so much easier to have clothing sewn from traditional fabric and is generally better quality and more authentic.
               Most of the designers in Nigeria are making out some collections out of Ankara because it is 'on point' as they as say.....

DEVELOPING A FASHION COLLECTIONS

            Most designer find it difficult to understand what a collections is all about .Collections are a fashion designer's medium for presenting new designs and creations. Which entails a range of garment ,accessories ,that are designed and produced mostly for sale.
         
Collections pieces may be inspired by trend ,theme, or designed reflecting cultural or social influences,they are usually constructed from a combination of siloutte , colors, and fabrics. A  good collections requires enormous amount of research ,investigation , and planning.
         
              Fashion designers can find inspiration for illustrations and collections from a scrapbook of image of images. While working on a collections, designers put in mind a clear understanding of bringing out what the people can easily put on and differentiation of creations of designs.
       
In most cases fashion designers brings up an outfits put together every season and that reflects predictions of upcoming trends, including colors. Internationally a fashion designer will have two collections per year FOR DE-FALL/winter and FOR SPRING/summer season.
       
                The number of pieces in a collections can range from as few as 30 pieces to as many as 120 pieces. After the collections is been created the designer will put on a fashion show or showcase in a fashion show to allow potentials buyers, to each pieces in a fashion collections.
        Fashion student often have to present a fashion collections as part of graduations requirements in a fashion school.
