Noble X David Wej Play Book

Noble Igwe in collaboration with Ready to wear designer David Wej just put out a play book. The play book, a fun look book, explores how five David Wej looks can be styled and given the Noble Igwe Identity.

The first look, explores the blend of florals and blues. He styles a blue two piece from David Wej with a floral shirt from Tribes by Nobs, accessorizing with a blue floral pocket square, dark brown Chelsea boots and simple blue framed glasses. He goes form resort to edgy with the same look by turning in his floral shirt for a dark blue one, and dorning on a grey beret.

For a next look, he takes the classic black tux with a velvety lapel detail, and matching pants in an all black classic man persona complete with a black hat. Throwing a little color in the mix, he stuffs in a purple floral pocket square.

For a third look, he gives a grey David Wej stripped two piece the Noble touch by accessorizing with the ever present floral scarf and a grey hat.

Next, he pairs another stripped two piece with a polka dot print shirt, and accessorizes with a tan hat.

The next look takes a break from formal two pieces. He pairs a wine colored waist coat and black denim pants, with David Wej boots.

For a finale, he dorns on a navy blue jacket, print shirt, mustard shorts and white sneakers. The ever present floral scarf stays put and ofcourse it won’t be Noble without the hat.

The Women Who Live Under the Bridge By Lawal Ayomipo

On my way to work this morning, I went past the Obalende bridge which is my daily route. Today for some weird reason my attention was really drawn to the beautiful women who lived under the bridge. Their sleek contours, their incredibly dark hair, the ambience with which they worked, I was enthralled and couldn’t take my eyes off for some reason.

And no, I’m not a creep. I wasn’t watching the women traders who display their wares even though they’re equally beautiful, I’m referring to the beautiful women strawn on the pillars under the Obalende bridge in colorful graffiti.

I did some research and found out that in 2017 the Lagos Government commissioned an artist Polly Alakija to transform the Falomo bridge, she did and has continued since then.

The Lagos-based artist, who moved to Nigeria from the UK in 1989 was actively involved in community projects involving art. She has done some work in UK, Nigeria, France and South Africa.

My personal favorite has to be the Painting of Nigerian Women. 50 women on 50 pillars as ‘pillars of strength’ for the Lagos @50. Each one telling  their unique story. You could see the story by just looking at it. Speaking to vanguard at the time of the commissioning, she said; “You know, if you think about women and what they are in the society, they are very often the unsung heroes. They are strong. You know there is this expression: she is a pillar of strength. So that’s what these pillars are: these are my pillars of strength, celebrating women of Lagos in a very soft, gentle way.”

The underside of the Obalende bridge is being renovated to make it comfortable and beautiful for people to relax. Let’s see how it turns out. I’ll keep you posted.

Meanwhile just before you get a chance to check the paintings out next time you’re in Obalende, view a couple candid shots of them below;

Personality experts believe that the colours of the outfits you wear can provide subtle and discerning information about your personality. There is a reason why wearing blue can get you a job and why purple can put people off.

White Shows Organization
In order to keep an all-white ensemble crisp and clean, the wearer must be at the top of his or her game. If you are the type of person who falls into this category, try it out on a job interview in a creative field, or to dinner with your parents.

There’s no better way to show them how organised you are through your choice of clothing.

Black Conveys Authority
Wearing black from Head-to-toe signals power and authority. The colour is both slimming and versatile. It makes you appear elegant and chic, when worn on a date and signals authority at work.

Of course, black is also associated with mourning and sadness. The colour could even be linked to aggressiveness. One study of NHL teams found that teams wearing black jerseys get the most penalties. It’s unknown whether that’s because wearing the colour makes a player more aggressive, or that officials have an unconscious bias against black.

Wearing Blue Says “Hire Me!”
According to a Career Builder survey of 2,099 hiring managers, interviewees wearing blue were considered team players. Navy blue is considered one of the best colours to wear on a job interview simply because the colour symbolizes relaxation, loyalty, confidence, and control.

Red May Result In Romance
Years of research suggest that crimson hues should not only be reserved for Valentine’s Day. One particular study showed male participants photos of women wearing various colours and asked how much they’d spend on a date with her. As it turns out, the men were willing to spend more cash on the ladies in red.

Gray Can Help You Blend In
If you don’t want to be noticeable, gray should be your go to colour. Experts say the colour is subtle and unassuming without being overly conservative. As such, wearing this colour can help you keep an office-friendly vibe without defaulting to black.

Purple Can Be Discomforting
Due to the fact that violet tones rarely appear in nature, purple usually appears artificial. Historically, this made it the colour of royalty and power, especially as a result of the cost of the dye originally used to produce it.

However, purple could induce discomfort. If you’re looking at making people comfortable around you either on a date or job interview, stay away from purple.

Green Sparks Creativity
Green appeases the human senses on a primitive level. It tells us that we are safe in a fertile, water-rich environment, above freezing temperatures, and with enough food to survive. Natural shades of green are calming and reassuring.

One study found that the colour could even spark inventiveness. Participants were given two minutes to come up with as many uses for a tin can as they could. Before they began, half the group was shown a white rectangle, and the other half a green one.

Participants in the green group came up with the more interesting, imaginative answers.

Assurance; Matters Of The Heart Or Pocket? By Atai Akpan

Assurance, that’s the word a lot of ladies chant every day. 99% of ladies want a man who is financially insured. (Perhaps, you probably might just be the 1%, I’ve been searching for). Don’t be a doubting Thomas. It’s a fact. In this computer age, money is pretty much a pre-requisite for love. I’ve even been told that money, can buy love, which is pretty much true-to a certain extent. How? We’ve got the gigolos with the sugar ladies and vice versa.

Now, I know you’re about to counter that love is more important in a relationship, but the underlying question, is if you actually believe it?  Whenever this topic comes up during girls talk, so many ladies are quick to say that love is all that really matters. But, could it be the fear of being judged by others?

A lot of relationships of today have crashed because of the money factor. Quick question? How many relationships have you heard, crashed because there was way too much money? I thought so. A good friend of mine broke up with her boyfriend recently. Why? She had patiently waited for the ‘incoming money’, she had been through the thinnest of thins with him,  but it was obvious it wasn’t forthcoming. She said she had to leave, because she fell out of love. Now, even though I am not in support of money being a pre-requisite for love, but I do hold the strong opinion that they do go hand-in-hand. I believe in balance and financial security. One should not over-shadow the other. Love is equally important just as money is too in a relationship. Even the famous music crooner, Davido said it all, ‘’Love is sweet O, when money enter Love is sweeter’’.

But hey! Would you date a man, or a woman that is financially low, but ‘lovingly’ rich? Or do you believe in financial security before love? Do you believe in the balance of money and love in a relationship? We all have our own opinion.

Every modern woman’s wish I’d to draw or get the perfect eyebrows by any means possible but not very many know that it doesn’t require as much effort as they think. Here are all the tips you need to get an eyebrow that will be the envy of all.

Use The Basics
The very first thing to do is to stay off your eyebrows for three months. This will allow them fully grow back to their natural shape before you groom them again. By constantly removing hairs in an effort to improve your brows, you run the risk of making them overly thin or misshapen brows.

Hold Back
Women with great brows don’t obsess over every stray hair and don’t always pluck their eyebrows. When in doubt, don’t pluck it out!’ If it’s truly an errant hair, you can always remove it later.

Eat Well
Take a good multivitamin with biotin and zinc, both of which help to promote good hair, skin and nails growth. Eating more protein can also help grow in fuller brows. If it’s something you can do to improve the hair on your head, it will surely help your eyebrow hair, too.

Avoid Anything Permanent
You will probably regret making a permanent change to your eyebrows. As such, it is not recommended for you to use permanent laser hair removal or eyebrow tattooing.

Your face and your brows change over time, so you don’t want anything permanent done that may not be flattering in the long run.

Treat Your Brows Same Way As Your Head Hair
You don’t just need to shape your eyebrows, you need to groom them, too. Brushing through your brows with a spooly brush helps keeps hairs in place, exfoliates the skin under your brows and increases blood flow.

All these serves to help your brows look their best, by encouraging hair turnover and growth. You can also condition your brows with your hair conditioner or coconut oil.

Allow Nature Take Its Course
Your eyebrows are how they are because they correspond to your facial structure and bones. That means you shouldn’t stray far from your original shape and positioning, no matter how much you want to look good.

As such, don’t shave off the outer half if they’re full or, on the other end of the spectrum, don’t create an artificial arch using makeup.

Use Makeup
Even the fullest eyebrows can make use of a brow filler like an eyebrow pen or pencil or a clear brow gel for unruly brows. A brow filler can fill the little gaps created by our hair patterns and make the eyebrow look more perfect.

Just make sure you use a product that is universally flattering and then brush through your brows to blend the product so your brows look good. If you have light brows, try a pencil slightly darker than your natural shade. On the other hand if your brows are full and only need light taming, try a brow gel.

The post All The Tips That Can Help You Get The Perfect Eyebrows appeared first on 360Nobs.com.

Looking glamorous is a big deal in the 21st century and more than a few women are intent on using makeup to look even more beautiful. Unfortunately however, not every woman knows how to use makeup to look good. Here are a number of tips that can make you look more beautiful than you already are.

Fill Your Eyebrows
A well-defined eyebrows frame your face and bring attention to your eyes. It is recommended that you fill in your brows with an eye shadow that matches the colour of your brows. You can make use of short feathery strokes to brush the hairs up, and then over towards the tail.

Follow the natural arch of the brow. If you have strong brows, make use of a clear brow gel to set the brows once you’ve filled them in.

Begin With Eyeshadow primer
One thing you should avoid is your eye shadow wearing off or creasing on your eyes. Use a primer or base to make your eyelid as smooth as possible. Doing this will make your eyeshadow stay in place all day.

Create Depth With Eyeshadow
If you are keen about looking big and bold, then you should create depth with your eyeshadow. Do this by first applying a lighter-coloured shadow all over your eyelid. Then, take a darker shadow and apply it in the crease of your eye above your lid.

This will help to create an element of dimension. However, don’t forget to blend the lid colour with the crease colour to obtain a seamless look.

Use The Right Colours
One of the most important procedure when applying makeup is choosing eyeshadow colours that compliment your colouring. All you need to do is choose colours that are opposite to your eye color on the colour wheel.

For blue eyes, bronze and copper colours are ideal, while for green, hazel and brown eyes it’s best to use purple and taupe range colours. It’s also important to pay attention to skin tone when choosing shadow colours. The darker your skin tone, the warmer your eyeshadow should be.

Use Eyeliner
Apply a gel, pencil, or liquid liner on your top lash line. If you have light eyes, go with a brown eyeliner, while brown eyes will pop with black liner. Work the liner into the lash line as close to your eyelashes as you can.

If you want a more smoky look, apply a brown or black eyeshadow onto your lower lash line with a small eyeshadow brush. However, make sure the top and bottom eyeliner meet at the outer corner of your eye.

Highlight In The Right Places
Apply a light, sparkly eyeshadow right under the eyebrow and in your tear duct. Doing this will make it look like light is bouncing off your eyes!

Always Add Mascara
First curl your lashes. Hold the curl for a few seconds, and then let go. Then, brush two to three coats of mascara from the base to the tip of your top and bottom lashes.

Layering different mascara formulas gives you a more customized look. This will help make your lashes to look super long, super thick, and super black.

As we get ready for the 6th edition of Nigerian Student Fashion and Design Week, our designers remain an epitome of fashion week. Meet the talented and emerging designers showcasing on the NSFDW runway this year.

Aderayo Aminat Animashaun started her brand “De’rayo” because she got tired of seeing imported fashion products such as shoes, bags, cloths and accessories in the Nigerian market, so she set up a manufacturing company that design and produce creative pieces that celebrate our culture and tell our African stories. African’s rich culture and fabrics inspire her designs. She highlighted her biggest fear when starting out as reaching her target audience and the best way to sell to them.

She describes her collection as “Afrocentric and Impulse” and believes superior finishing, more fashion training and quality of production will go further to place made in Nigerian products a better placing in the international market. Expect to see a De’rayo collection on NSFDW runway that showcases Afrocentric products that tell the African stories.

Nniu Concept Designs was conceptualized by Nneoma Nwosu whose love for fashion and telling amazing fashion stories through her exquisite designs began a journey of a talented fashion brand. She also cites designers such as Dior as her top fashion inspiration in her career. Her creativity and designs are generally inspired by her everyday lifestyle from African fabrics, to groups of people, trends and even love.

For her brand to stand out, “I believe using actual Nigerian/African textile, Nigerian/African art, telling real Nigerian/African stories would definitely leave a mark. Also working with skilled trainable artisans. Collaborative projects with outstanding designers with whom I have a common goal with, staying true to my designs, paying close attention to detail, and also considering the wearer’s needs”.

On NSFDW/AFWH Partnership, “If given the opportunity to showcase at AFW in Houston, America. I will take advantage and make the right impression to Africans and the international fashion market by showing what Africa/Nigeria is really made of. From our indigenous textiles, to our crafts, to our stories and as much as I’m inspired to incorporate, and infuse all that in such a raw but refined way into my creation. For me, it’s about showing our Gold (the African Gold) to the world”.

For Aliyah Abdulazeez & Soliat Abdulazeez of Twinfingers Fashion, being in the fashion industry came naturally as it has been in the family for years. Their biggest fear when starting out was getting a viable location that will meet their aspirations for the brand they are building. They have chosen NSFDW platform to showcase their designs because of its years of building, nurturing and showcasing emerging designers in Nigeria. Their creativity is inspired by Nigerians’ growing consciousness to fashion and seeing other designers creating innovative pieces that inspire a huge market of fashion lovers.

On Preparations for NSFDW 2018, “Firstly, our collection has been gathered from some designers’ inspirations all combined to form a distinct and different concept, also through teamwork, sharing ideas, time management and delegation and dedication”.

Nellygrace Chika’s love for Ankara inspired a fashion line, she was able to change the “traditional Ankara” look to a modern vibe for young ladies. Her biggest fear was being able to satisfy women of all shapes and sizes. Chika’s designs are inspired by her clients and social media trends. Her collection will consist of Ankara casual outfits, asoebi lace styles and evening gowns.

On Preparations for NSFDW 2018, “I have so far worked with my role models online and offline, and have sought advice from those who have been there before. I have also gotten support from professional tailors who are well experienced in drafting and fashion illustration in other to come out with the best I can”

You are probably accustomed to getting the best possible clothing designs but how much of the tiny details of the clothes you are wearing do you know about? If you think the tiny pocket on your jeans is useless, think again. Here are all the things about your clothes you probably never knew about.

YKK Zippers
More than half of all the zippers on Earth have the letters “YKK” on them. YKK stands for Yoshida Kogyo Kabushikikaisha, a zipper company founded in Tokyo in 1934. Today, the company makes more than 7 billion zippers each year.

Next time, you may want to double check your pants zipper; first to make sure your fly isn’t down, and second, to see if you’re wearing one of the most popular zipper brands.

Buttons on Men and Women’s Shirts
The victorian Era saw women wear elaborate pieces like corsets, which meant that women needed help to get dressed. One theory as to why you find women’s buttons on the left and men’s buttons on the right is because designers may have begun creating women’s clothes with buttons on the opposite side of men’s clothing so that servants had an easier time dressing ladies.

Still to this day, women button up their clothes from the left and men button their clothes on the right.

Tiny Pockets In Your Jeans
The first generation of blue jeans actually only had four pockets: one in the back, one in the front, and two of those small ones on the front. According to Levi Strauss, the tiny pocket was made to hold pocket watches.

Button-down Shirt Loops
When men wear ties with a button-down shirt, the tie goes underneath the collar. If you are however observant, you would have noticed a small loop right below the collar on the back of the shirt that often goes untouched.

As a part of Ivy League college culture, students used the loops to hang their shirts in their lockers and keep them free from wrinkles.

Jean Pocket Studs
There’s a purpose for the little studs around your jean pockets. In the early days, it was mostly workingmen who wore jeans. After a long day and extended wear, jeans would rip in the corners of the back pockets. This led to a Latvian immigrant to the United States, Jacob Davis, partnering with Levi to use rivets to strengthen pockets on jeans.

The Patch on Your Backpack
Patchwork gives jeans and bags a cool look but they serve a much bigger purpose that goes beyond making outfits trendy. The small leather diamond on backpacks is called a “lash tab” or “pig snout,” and it’s meant for you to string items such as a water bottle or pair of shoes through it so they hang off your back.

There are a number of makeup mistakes that makes you look older and if your goal is to look your age or even younger than you actually are, you may want to consider staying away from them.

Choosing a dark lipstick
Lips lose their fullness over time, and using dark coloured lipsticks tend to make them look even smaller. On the other hand, mauves and pinks help to highlight lips and give the illusion of fullness.

A swipe of lip gloss will plump them up even more. If you do decide to go for a darker shade, pick a sheer formula or a stain, which aren’t as flat as a heavier finish, or dab the colour on with your finger.

Go for a lip liner that matches the colour of your lips, rather than your lipstick. This will help you avoid an overly dark liner that will make your lips look pursed.

Using The Wrong Colour Foundation
Too light or too dark foundation will look dull and unnatural, instead of youthful and glowy. To pick the right colour when testing them out in the store, dab a bit on your face, rather than your hand, which can be a different shade. The colour should match yours even before it’s blended.

Using The Wrong Concealer Shade
Covering up under-eye circles with a shade that’s too light will accentuate your dark patches, the same way dark shadows will. Do your best to avoid green-based products, which will bring out shadows. Instead, pick colours with a peachy or yellow tone to neutralize the purple tones of under-eye circles.

Finishing With Powder
When you cover up the oil shine on your face with makeup, you also cover up the youthful glow that comes when your skin reflects the light. Swap out powder for blotting tissues, which won’t highlight wrinkles in the same way makeup would. If you really can’t help but use powder, dab it only on your chin and nose.

Skipping Your Eyebrows
As time goes by, eyebrows become sparser, especially if you have a history of tweezing them continuously. Fill them in with a product a shade lighter than your natural hair.

Applying Your Blush Wrongly
Swirling blush only on the apples of your cheeks leaves you with unnatural, unflattering circles. Applying it too far below the cheekbones, though, can drag down your face, giving a saggy appearance.

To Look younger, lightly brush it along your cheekbone, starting from the center of your eye and sweeping upward.

Lining Below Your Eyes
Eyeliners used below the eyes makes your eyes look smaller, while top liner opens them up. You should however be cautious. Harsh lines and dark colours will make your lids look heavy.

Apply a soft layer of brown or gray eyeliner to your top outer corner and then blend it out for a brightening effect. Complete your look by curling and applying mascara to only your top lashes.

Using A Dull Blush Colour
Unlike dark or brownish blush shade, bright colours make your cheeks look fuller and helps your whole face look younger and livelier. Cream formulas are ideal because they give an extra surge of moisture that you won’t get from a powder.

Ghanaians Celebrate Blackness With ‘Vogue Unofficial’

Blackness has evolved into a symbol of power, boldness, and sophistication, from when being black meant playing second fiddle, being inadequate and being captured in one’s self. Voices of all kinds through every channel of arts have particularly been loud on the seriousness of Black issues across the world.

From A-List musicians to movies stars, from big-budget movies to music videos, from magazine covers to social media campaigns, etc…, blackness has taken the forefront in arts and entertainments as a subject to ensure equal opportunities and rights for black people across the world.

As September issues are the most prestigious in the magazine world, @Vogue took Black matters to a more serious level by handing over control to the biggest female artists in the world. With @Beyonce covering US @vogue and being shot by a black photographer and Rihanna @badgalriri fronting the cover of @BritishVogue, Black Excellence just reached another peak.

“Vogue Unofficial” is our recreation of the iconic and historic September 2018 issues of US Vogue and British Vogue. Our take on the covers is our way of paying homage and tribute to two Ghanaian born creative geniuses, @KwasiFordjour, the creative director for @Beyonce ’s September issue for US @Vogue and @Edward_Enninful, the Editor-in-Chief of @BritishVogue, as they take charge of the world of arts and are breaking color barriers.

Through our themes “UNAPOLOGETIC. BLACK.” “INGENUITY. BLACK.”, we re-echo all the messages and values carried by these powerful black women on the cover of these magazines and what it means to all young black women in Ghana and Africa.

Our shoot further explores Blackness as a symbol of INTELLECT, INGENUITY, and SELF-LOVE.

UNAPOLOGETIC BLACK.

The issue of black exclusion may seem like a western problem, however within Africa, there is a more vicious issue of blackness. Lead movie roles are given to light skin people as its assumed they are more commercial. This has resulted in skin bleaching amongst celebrities and stars to push up their market value. Can we see beauty in the darkest shade of black, can we embrace strength in our melanin, as there is a place for every shade of black.

As depicted, our cover embodies the dark shades of blackness an African can be and the glory that runs through her blackness. She is Graceful, she’s Intelligent and she portrays Self-Love.

The beauty of being African is in the layers and tones of the black complexion. This is for us as Africans to embrace and appreciate our darkest tones and see beauty, power, grace and sophistication in the way we look.

INGENUITY BLACK

There’s been millions of messages, writings, movies, speeches, music and various works of art pushing women’s agenda. Have all these efforts been enough??? Well… Not enough to fully curb the marginalization of women, especially women of Color and portraying them as weaklings.

Equally there’s been millions of women who are changing the world with their ingenuity in their own small or massive ways. INGENUITY BLACK. is a recreation of Beyonce’s US Vogue cover as an embodiment of such finesse, creativity, originality, inclusiveness and inspiration.

We portray black women with our model holding a golden egg to symbolize the birth of unique and innovative ideas. Before great things are birth, we believe a touch of the industriousness, creativity and brilliance makes the difference.

Having a little itch here and there is certainly nothing you should worry about, but when the itching is continuous, it could be a source of concern.

Psoriasis or eczema
An itchy scalp an also be caused by inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. These conditions arise when your immune system gets “angry” at your skin, leading to red, flaky, itchy patches.

Psoriasis is usually thicker and red as opposed to dandruff but it can be treated the same way dandruff is treated. For both eczema and psoriasis, topical steroids, coal tar, salicylic acid, phototherapy, and immunomodulatory agents are solutions to use.

The itching is a symptom, not a condition
When you itch by raking your fingernails across your scalp more than a few times so much so that you know that once you start, you find it difficult to stop. Once you get into the itch-scratch-itch cycle, it’s difficult to get out of it.

It is annoying when your head itches not only because it’s so hard not to scratch, but also because it’s usually a symptom of something else. So what does it mean when your head itches?

There are many reasons why your head itches and here are five reasons your scalp itches.

Lice
If you have children and you find yourself asking, “Why does my scalp itch?” You probably have head lice. Head lice are tiny bugs that attach themselves to the hair and they can be seen in the form of eggs (nits), along the hair shaft.

Although the nits can be confused with dandruff, you can’t miss seeing an adult lice moving around your head, that’s unmistakable. You can use physical methods to remove the lice or try natural lice shampoos or removers.

You may however need to eradicate a lice infestation with actual insecticide like pyrethrin and permethrin, depending on resistance patterns in your area. Shaving the head is another easy solution for boys.

Scabies
Scabies can cause itching not just on the scalp but also on the entire body and are an infestation of the “human itch mite” (aka sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis).

The adult female scabies mites burrow into the upper layer of the skin, where they live and deposit their eggs. The microscopic scabies mite almost always gets passed along by direct, prolonged, skin-to-skin contact with a person who is already infested.

Scabies in adults can be acquired sexually, even though it can also be spread without sexual contact in crowded conditions, including households, nursing homes, child-care facilities, and prisons.

Dandruff
If you are having unexplained scalp itch, then dandruff or seborrheic dermatitis could be responsible. It is considered a severe form of dandruff caused by an overreaction the body has to normal yeast that lives on the skin.

Dandruff affects about 40 percent of people, and tends to come and go during one’s lifetime. It has been linked to weather changes, stress, and increased sugar in the diet.

Products containing the active ingredient, salicylic acid (such as Neutrogena Shampoo) and products containing anti-fungals such as Ketoconazole or Selenium Sulfide havw been found to be effective. Natural remedies for dandruff include tea tree oil. And a product called Scalpicin can help decrease itching.

Allergic Reaction
If you recently dyed your hair, your continuous hair itch could be as a result of an allergy to the dye. If the hair colour is temporary or semi-permanent it can be washed out, but if it’s a permanent dye, it can be more difficult.

To identify the product or ingredient responsible, try using one product at a time for a week at a time, rather than combining many at the same time.
