Fashion Trends To Expect From Lagos Fashion and Design Week

The Fashion Week train has moved from London to Milan, Paris and New York. Now Fashion Week has dared in Lagos with the Heineken Lagos Fashion and Design Week (LFDW).

The event will take place from October 25 to 28, 2017 at Eko Atlantic.

Tricks For Getting Through Fashion Week In Lagos

October is the global equivalent of a new year for fashion lovers. Already we’ve seen great fashion come out of the international fashion week and have been excited to see what our favourite designers from our favourite fashion capitals had in store for us. Even more, Guardian Life cannot wait to see what our homegrown designers offer for the new fashion season at the Lagos Fashion and Design Week happening next week and the Guaranty Trust Bank Fashion Weekend sometime in November.

For the newbies for whom this is their very first fashion season, here are few tricks to make the best of the festivities.

Come early, leave late
Unless you’re a socialite who is trying to dodge Lagos traffic, you should avoid being ‘fashionably late’ at all costs. Much of what happens in Lagos’ fashion weeks happens before the doors open and the runway shows begin. So come a few hours early to beat the traffic that will inevitably happen and use that time to get your tickets and passes, change into your outfit for the day (everyone loves a good reveal) and network. Coming early also ensures you get to enjoy the best of our next trick.

Street style is the best style
Unless you’re a socialite, an influencer or have a wad of cash, the official fashion photographers for LFDW will not give you a glance. However pay that no mind, because the real event is happening right on the grounds before the show begins. The international press often arrives hours early to photograph street style before the shows begin and if your outfit is especially spiffy, stylish and unconventional, you could end up on @LagosStreetStyle’s blog or better on Vogue US’or CNN Style’s digital platforms. So dress your best and don’t be afraid to heckle the photographers for a shot. It just might be your big break.

Network like your life depends on it!
Fashion week is the largest confluence of all the people who matter and will matter in the fashion industry, and whether you are just an enthusiast trying to break into the industry, a veteran looking for a boost or just a casual observer, use the rare opportunity of being in the same space as senior writers for Vogue and Wall Street Journal to network. You never know who you’ll end up making an impression on, and where that will take you.

Set the trends, don’t ape them
It might be tempting to throw on a cold shoulder dress just because they’ve been everywhere this last year, but that’s not the point of fashion week or the way to get noticed. Fashion week is the place to take your personal style and your individual fashion quirks and exaggerate them. Those oversized pants you’ve been dying to wear and haven’t found the right occasion; break them out. Who knows, next season it might be your style that we see designers reinterpreting on the runway.

It’s a tradeshow
You might not know this, but many of your favourite fashion brands are often at fashion week, even when they aren’t showing, and they always bring goodies in the form of discounts and promotions. Come to fashion week with your wallet and leave with a good bargain. Even better, you’ll get to meet your favourite Nigerian designers and fanboy/fangirl. Win-win all around!

PS
FROW is overrated. The real deal happens backstage.

The Men Edition: Identify your own style

Dressing, as well as many things in life, would probably be easier with instructions for use. We all know very well that it's hard to get dressed in the morning and the problem is usually a limited choice and it has to be balanced for what you have at the end of the day.

As men today, it's important to realize that people are judging you according to your appearance, no matter how superficial it may be. Then you have to make the first impression. Regardless of your industry or age, you can still get some fashionable men's tips to help you along the way.

Keep your favorite items in mind

Do you know the circle of gatherings among those who turn around daily? Take a note. These are basic T-shirts and jeans in the first term, or even a combination of tie and scarves that you see as Ebuk Obi-Uchendu or Yomi Black on Tuesday. These MVP wardrobes are the center of your wardrobe, which means they serve as a template for tuning and enhancing your style.




Perfect your exclusive pieces

Are you looking for the same tight pants or white sneakers when you want a strut? After summarizing your style, look at your external opinion. Ask your friends / mothers / partners what they see when they are your style. You do not realize that you are leaning on a certain cut until your best friend can describe your suits.

Try it

Find these kits from the back of the cabinet and pieces that do not exactly match each other. Welcome to the experimental base. Start slowly, turn these parts into the central part and then break down bolder or more modern. Do not destroy yourself with the style you are trying to try.

Take advantage of compliments

Do you have something to congratulate? Whether it is your tinted back, oversized bumblebee or a very manly body structure. Clothes that look great with their possessions always look stylish regardless of what trends you currently have. Read more about which parts are imaginative. Consider these compliments and then find common features. See if you can combine these figures into a new and interesting category or you can customize more clothes that suit you.

Find a sweet spot

Take a step back to describe what your favorite species are, and most of the expanded parts are common. This is the basic style of your definition. Since you are much more than an appearance, it's important to remember the experimental side. Try setting the settings you want when you exceed your unique style. Simplicity is the key to building an elegant wardrobe. Too far with colors, details and design, you can blind the whole look, and we can not do it!

Every Busy Woman Needs To Know This - Best Makeup Hacks

Best Makeup Hacks

We are real. When you are short (or are a little lazy), the last thing you want to do is to make the beauty of the beauty routine complete.

That means you always want to look damned when you go back to the office with the iced coffee in your hand. So, how can someone wave a magic wand on his face in the morning and press the repeat button twice or three times? Point to these six beauty shortcuts of busy girls that let you look like a master property, no matter when you wake up.

Point to these six beauty shortcuts of busy girls that let you look like a master property, no matter when you wake up.

Hack #1: Exfoliate your face before applying makeup
Anyone who wears foundation knows how it can highlight any bit of dryness on your face — and how annoying it is to wash it off, slather on tons of moisturiser, and start all over if it ends up looking patchy. That’s why Julep founder and CEO Jane Park exfoliates before she applies any makeup. “It saves time because your lipstick, makeup, everything goes on smoother after,” she explains. Try using a sponge for gentle daily exfoliation.

Hack #2: Use a clear sunscreen as your moisturiser, primer, and face SPF
It’s one of those things that everyone forgets — or just skips altogether — because traditional formulas dry to a chalky-white finish. Thankfully, newer formulas use a sunscreen with a super-sheer and clear gel consistency that leaves zero white residue behind. Here’s where the hack comes in: Since the SPF is translucent, you can wear it solo, skipping moisturiser because sunscreen is ultra-hydrating, or you can mix it in with your base makeup for amped-up daily protection. Wearing sunscreen on a daily basis is the number-one thing you can do — and the best anti-ageing secret — to protect your skin.

Hack #3: Use a multifunctional mascara
Instead of committing to a full look with bold brows, eyeliner, shadow, and mascara, just focus on your brows and lashes for an easy, pulled-together look. Try a tinted brow gel, like Benefit’s Gimme Brow Volumizing Eyebrow Gel, which has tiny fibres that boost the fullness of your arches while also keeping them in place. As for mascara, look for a tube that has multiple wand functions. Julep’s With a Twist Lash Boosting Bamboo Mascara has a customizable wand that you twist right for length and left for major volume, so you don’t have to layer on different formulas for full fringe.

Hack #4: Make your look monochromatic
Instead of using different shades for your eyeshadow, blush, and lip colour, grab a multipurpose stick, like Milk’s Lip + Cheek. This product is so easy to use you can swipe on the colour straight from the tube, or dab it on your eyelids, cheeks, and lips with your fingers. The best part is that the colours are so sheer you can apply them without a mirror and still look amazing.

Hack #5: Fake the look of clean hair with dry shampoo and a blow-dryer
It’s easy to think you can just target oily looking hair with dry shampoo and be done, but that only leaves you with large splotches of powder that take forever to absorb and might still be visible, says hairstylist Jacob Rozenberg. Instead, spray the oil-sopping formula at least 8 inches away from your hair, let it sit for a minute, and then distribute it into your hair with a brush or blast your hair with a blow-dryer while you rake your fingers through your strands for an even application. Whatever you do, don’t forget the underside of your hair too.

Hack #6: Opt for a lightning-fast drying top coat
Salon manicures are kind of a time suck, but if you’ve got a steady hand (no coffee beforehand, please!) and a few bottles of polish lying around, there’s no reason you shouldn’t give yourself a salon-worthy manicure on the spot. Plus, there are also major relaxation benefits — another reason to DIY your own digits. So, what’s the fastest way to a flawless mani? After pushing back your cuticles with a cuticle pusher or orange stick, swipe on a micro-glitter polish — the micro-flecks of shimmer help the polish dry faster than cream shades. Then, use a top coat that dries your nails via light instead of air, which is what traditional formulas use. hold your nails up to a lightbulb to dry nails even faster!

Hope this was helpful, share with friends...
