African Fashion….Hot or Not?

Colours, curves, style…words that rightly describe African Fashion. I must admit, Africans are innovators of style and fashion. I have had hands on experience of Jamaicans watching African movies. First they are all good relaxed then boom! an African lady walks out in a design. Jamaicans then be like: “Blouse! Yuh see dah style deh? Pause it! Ah wonder if mi dressmaker can make one like that?” Yeah that’s a common expression.

Really, African ladies always look good in their designer clothing. Is what dem put in the fabric mek it just “stay so”. And darlings, it doesn’t matter how many colours are in the fabric, they know exactly how to accessorize…mi grudge dem yuh see?

Its a pity African material is so expensive in Jamaica…smh. I for one think that if African material and food were to be giving away to some Jamaicans, dem woulda go pon fasting and tek di material…ah naa lie. Big belly or slim belly, fat leg or small leg, African material gifted fi hide any flaw.

 

These are some of the African fashions Kajue just had to upload and after looking. Do you think African Fashion is Hot or Not?:

Where Do Africans Get Em’ Skin and Beautiful Teeth

Well I am a Nollywood maniac and so far, I clearly have packed up Hollywood for a while (not enough drama… :D), meaning that I haven’t watched a Hollywood movie in days. So far, most Jamaicans can safely say that the market for Nollywood films “well tall” in the country…most Jamaican people have even adopted the o’s and the “ah beg’s”. Africans are really doing good for themselves.

One striking thing in these movies which my mom herself couldn’t help  pointing out, is the flawlessness of the skins. Also, the nicely rowed teeth and curvy shape contribute to the beautiful skin they carry. What I really want to know is “What really is the contributing factor for the teeth, small waist line and flawless skin”? Is it a climate thing? Is it makeup? Is it some herb?

Truth be told, even if all Africans (the ones I see in movies) are not as beautiful, their teeth and skin clearly make up for other missing assets. Africa, answer the call of a concerned Jamaican…let us in on the secret…ah beg o.
