The Yeezy Spring/Summer 2017 Ready-To-Wear collection lookbook is out and it's taking a cue from the past seasons!
The Yeezy Spring/Summer 2017 Ready-To-Wear collection lookbook is out!
The
new collection presented to horrible reviews at the Roosevelt Island in
New York where he staged a dramatic presentation of the latest
offerings from his infamous luxury street style brand.
The Yeezy Season 4 looks were all
about neutral tones and palettes that scream minimalist styled
athleisure styles. Taking a cue from the past season, the rapper infused
even more similar styles from his past collection into the present
collection.
Taking
obvious cue from military streetwear, pieces were crafted in field
jackets, slouchy knitwears that has become a signature, bodycon dresses,
leotards, oversized knitwears/sweaters, high boots and more standout
pieces.
Extra form fitting silhouettes, nude tones, body
baring and more were employed to style the collection that's not special
but looks more like another repeat of the Yeezy brand that has fast
become unrealistic and a flagrant display of highly unpractical looks
that are becoming borderline annoyingly 'un-artsy' unlike what it
supposedly stands for.
There's nothing special about the collection and as usual predictable but as usual leave it to creative director; Kanye West to milk something out of it!

Summer
16 has officially kicked off and there are a lot of valid reasons to
get the right pair of sunglasses. Picking them isn’t so easy, especially
when you don’t know the shape of your face.
We are breaking down the process today, making your shades selection process easier.
The first step to make your shades shopping stress free, whether you choose to shop online or in a store.
There are Four major face types – Round, Heart, Oval, Square.
Here’s everything you need to know about selecting the right shades below; For Oval Faces
Oval
faces are associated with well-balanced proportions that include high
cheekbones, narrow forehead and gently curved jawline. Oval shaped faces
look good with any kind of frame styles. So if you have an oval face,
shopping for sunglasses should be easy for you. For Round Faces
Round
faces are long and wide, and have few or no angles. The best sunglasses
for a round face shape are styles that create an illusion of appearing
longer and slimmer. Look for frames that are rectangular or square and
be sure to avoid frames that are round to avoid looking plumper. For Square Faces
A
square face is normally defined as having a strong jaw line, a broad
forehead and wide chin and cheekbones. Round and oval shapes work best
on a square face to soften hard angles; try a cat eye or butterfly style
but avoid any style that is too angular at the bottom. For Heart Faces
The
heart face is characterized by having a wide forehead with a narrower
chin and jaw line. A heart face also tends to have higher cheekbones.
It’s best to look for frames that will offset the chin, such as aviator,
square and rounded frames that are wider at the bottom.
Be sure to avoid top-heavy frames that add more width to the top part of your face.

Kanye West and his gorgeous wife Kim Kardashian are the cover stars of the August/September edition of Harper's Bazaar. Speaking about Kim not taking nude selfies, Kanye said;
"I love her nude selfies. Like, I love the ones from the side, the back ones, and the front. I just love seeing her naked; I love nudity, and I love beautiful shapes. I think it's important for Kim to have her figure. To not show it would be like Adele not signing."

Last week we saw the male wedding guests in Agbada. Now it’s time to check out what the ladies are doing with the same trend.
When
agbada became a huge deal back in 2015, the women weren’t left out.
They took on the three-piece set boldly and now it is an acceptable
look.
The agbada is an androgynous style menswear for women, that fits perfectly into every lady’s wardrobe.
For
women you can wear your agbada in different ways – pair with a
‘gele’ over heels or flats. You can also go for a colorful fabric or
plain colors. The goal is to look great.
We compiled photos of females rocking agbada in case you need some style inspiration.
