Lookbook: Deola By Deola Sagoe’s S/S 2015 Collection Tagged “Wings By Deola”


page

 According to Deola Sagoe, “Developing my own fabrics is essential for me. Every time you do it, it’s fresh; the drawings, the process of making Adire, starting with indigo and then just making music with colour and patterns, “fabric jazz”.

I wanted to play with floaty fabrics this time. It was just my mood. Of course I’m still in the throws of my love affair with Aso Oke which is still a huge feature in this collection."

“Wings by Deola” consists of 37 pieces whose names were derived from the characters in Shakespeare’s plays such as, Ophelia (the helper), Valeria (strong, valiant) and Juno (protector). The collection for Spring/Summer 2015 features detailed cut-outs, sheer fabric inserts, plunging necklines and more tying into the origami-theme.

She is a Ghanian stylist and a Fashion blogger based in Baltimore, Maryland. She describes her style as eclectic, her focus is more on high-class styling rather than high-priced clothing.

What makes her standout is her trademark natural locks and her love for Africa prints; she infuses Ankara into almost all her outfits, which is really nice.

CWP Beauty: Body Odour? Can't deal


Ever heard of this saying "Smelling good makes you 1,000 times more attractive"? I have too. Imagine you see a well dressed chic from a distance walking towards you and you are just there staring at her but as she draws closer, an annoying smell fills the air. I bet you would forget how good she looks and not want to look at her again let alone STARE; that's how unattractive bad smell makes one feel.

No deodorant or perfume can beat the Natural clean smell that comes from your body; no matter the amount of deodorant and perfume you use, if your have Body Odour, you will still smell bad.

CWP Style: Casual Outfits!

 
So, last week the beautiful Fisayo of Pheezy's Corner suggested that I feature someone with an everyday style possibly a student on CWP Person of The Week and it got me thinking. I love the idea and I felt instead of featuring a student (I would anyways, if I find one) Why not compile casual and street styles for students and people that look street styles. So this is testing....testing, I hope you will love what you see, enjoy!
