I went fabric shopping the other day, as I was supposed to
get a red sequined fabric for a particularly stylish lady J I really enjoy working
with her. She thinks outside the box when we discuss fabrics, designs,
aesthetics etc. and most of all she IS NOT scared of colour! I searched through the fabric shops and this
is what I came up with, along with the emerald green number. Couldn’t leave it
behind.
And as always, I ended up getting these others as well, talk
about deviating L
there were vintage inspired fabrics, Ankara of course,jersey……
Now before I upload the photos, I want to share a little
thought shall I? I often think (I have
an overly wild imagination - I mean I
analyse colours, sequin arrangements, ,fabrics, photography images, scenery,
details, patterns in my head most times which is cool and annoying at the same
time because I get headaches as a result but I can't complain cos it’s a process
I enjoy :-) back to my ‘thought’, I often think how nice it would be to have a
nollywood movie that’s obviously centred on a good plot, but would display such
great fashion and style through its characters.
There are TV shows , series, and movies I love because they are entertaining and also
have so much to look at such as Sex and the City, Gossip Girl, Single Ladies, Breakfast
at Tiffanys, the list goes on and on, and then there are those I just basically
see, not because I find them interesting or entertaining, but because of what I’m
looking at – the level of fashion invovled in the clothes, furniture, etc and I wonder why we cant have nollywood movies
with such - I’m talking classy, timeless pieces, dramatic, quirky, and so on,
all visible in different characters, and let’s not forget accessories, and then
Ankara, adire, aso-oke made into trendy pieces…..oh, for that day!
Even without a ‘not so gripping’ plot, this element could
compel many to enjoy the movie and buy it.
