Redefinition!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I've finally decided to bring to your notice, officially that I'd be launching my own clothing line and clothier's services during the REDEFINITION FASHION SHOW. For non-CU peeps, 'redef' as it is often called is an annual event that takes place in Covenant Uni. and students showcase their work and also compete in a theme battle section.
Last year we had the presence of famous designers like Ohimai Atafo, Lanre Da Silva, Uche Nnaji and so on. this year's event promises to be bigger and better so I'd be briefing you constantly about the event to take place on the 14th of April.
So y'all should remember me in your thoughts and prayers.

Trend Watch

Today's trend is the ever revolving PEPLUM. A short over-skirt or ruffle attached at the waistline of a jacket, blouse, or dress. Peplum is very easy to wear as it fits almost every body shape. It gives a nipped waist silhouette making the waist appear smaller. It's also very easy to adopt into any dress, skirt, blouse or jacket and also there are variations of this trend. It trended in 2009 and 2010 and has make a come back this year.

The Vintage shopper

If you are on the same train as I am i.e. the vintage train, you will find this piece of information very useful.
As I was scouring the web for useful info (instead of jacking for oncoming exams), i found this...
Still interested? more info after the jump.

Oleku

Oleku....i don't mean the song by Ice prince, rather the style; OLEKU.
HISTORY:
the history of the trend can be traced to the early seventies in the south-wetsern part of Nigeria. The yoruba traditional wear of iro and buba was re-invented and re-styled into a shorter and more stylish version.
PRESENT:
there are so many recreations of Oleku but my best so far is one made by Bola Obileye (seriously dougnuts blogger and stylist behind Tote).

I love the chiffon trimming!

revamped buba

what do you think of this?
will you try it?

The Sunday Series

Now here goes the concluding part of this particular edition;
1. Dami
I really love the playful twist to Dami's outfit this Sunday. The high ponytail with the cute bow complemented her outfit comprising a beautifully patterned top and brown pants.

Dami and Ese

2. Ese
Ese's outfit consisted of a simple but tasteful blazer, black pants and flats. Her well-chosen accessories add enough spice; the 'shanbala' bracelet, wristwatch and of course a red pout from the princess of pouting.

 3. Shy Miss 'Anonymous'
Though her camera shy self wouldn't allow me to take a full pic, we can see that there's really nothing to be shy about. Her choice of colours was on point an the outfit was not overdone. The top, pants and shoes went together perfectly aand she gets a huge thumbs-up.

Lovely peep-toe shoes

 4. Jevwe (Je-we)

What can i say? I'm  nuts about this pattern; the hounds-tooth pattern. And Jevwe scores a special mark for not doing it too much. The blazer was balanced by a black straight skirt and black and white earrings. Finally the red belt adds a pop of colour.

 5. AY
I don't think that it's a coincidence that the only boy whose outfit caught my eye was one of the top male fashion designers in school right now. Of course i won't bore you with the well known 'Redef.' deets buh the orange blazer-blue shirt-lovely pocket square combo was on point. Now to the shoes, they are simply male shoe-candy!

 6. Nkem and Tosin
These girls really caught my eye with their tie neck blouses. Nkem's blouse has these lovely polka dots while Tosin's blouse has a lovely collar which is set of by the peach tie. Extra credits to Tosin for the wide legged pants.

 7. Vanessa
Vanessa looks really pretty in a flower print blouse and grey skirt. Not colour shy, she adds a peach purse and green belt. Check out the beautiful hair.

8.Ekem
Ekem's outfit shows a new take on the wide spreading palazzo pants trend. here she dressed it up with a blouse, blazer and flats.

 

 9. Dimigun
Dimigun's flower patterned dress is really lovely on her. the belt creates a lovely silhouette and the bright purse adds colour. The pearls are just perfect.
