THE MASTERY OF FASHION (Photos)

I promised to bring to light how the art of fashion got a place in my heart and hands - How it was inculcated and finally blossomed to the world.

I am wild.... wild like a beast. You may see it in one of my photos. This is not a trait very acceptable in the seminary, a holy scholar compound for those aspiring to be fathers without children of their own blood. 

My passion for Fashion started in the corridors of sacristy, kneeling down and holding my chest at every holy cloth I touched. We were responsible in the arranging of the alter for catholic daily mass and I was good at it. Therefore am a good father, wearing no chausible,  no frock and no clergy tie.

"How and where could these 'godly-fashionable attires' be found?", I kept asking myself. Time was running out with every single morning bell at the chapel. I needed to be a priest.....to be fashionable. But the clock on the seminary wall stood stiff....refused to tick and so I opted out... Out. Out - hook-line and sinker. I looked no back, but forward to fashion maker.

Unfortunately, out of the mood of prayer and solemn recitation of Rosary....no man gives shit about your clergy robe, chausible and stole. I gave up.

What next? I scratched my damn ass for couple of months without shekel to reasonably pay for fashion tuition....Finally I got to learn the fashion design  by doing some voluntary work in the day and keeping my eyes at the fashion store in the evenings.

So today am the dapper next door, in the Matatu seat next to the tout, at the dais of the fashion show talk, behind the wheel of that passing car, at the catalog of your Facebook friends. I am known to you.

See these photos.

Amazing Reasons why you need a pocket squiare (Ps)

You must have realized that pocket squares are rapidly becoming today's fashion in both men and women. Firstly, is anybody oblivious of this? As its name suggests, Pocket squares are square cut fabric designed to add much more to the entire attire.
John Wolfgang said, 'It is not doing the things we like to do but liking the things we have to do that makes life blessed'.
That being on point, you then have to wear pocket square. So today I want to to tell you why need a pocket square.

• It adds a nice color to the whole outfit and provides a new look
• It gives an extra 'umph' when you much it with a tie whether long or bow
• It bring touch of elegance and sophistication to the wearer
• It determines occasion and mood
• Exposes your upper you to the world

Pocket squares come in colors, decorations, patterns etc. This variety quenches the need and style of every fashionable person. You would also need the types of folds that suits your attire and occasion so to keep you glued here I prepared this for you. I hope it's helpful enough.

1.PRESIDENTIAL FOLD or TIMELESS FASHION
Its the easiest to fold. Brings with it the simplicity and so matches well with formal suits. i recomend this fold to be of one color.
Simply fold the ps once then twice, fit it in your breast pocket and your good to go.

2.ONE TIP UP
This is folded in triangle shape with one point showing above the pocket. It's also official and sign that you belong to the ps class.

3. TWO TIPS UP
This ps fold is recomended with patterned and colored pocket squares. Slick and chic outfit do well and perfect here. You need to fold one side over to form triangle. The two corners should not align so there are two separate pints at the top. Finally fold one side then the other.Shown below.

4.CROWN FOLD
This resembles a crown and so has three tips up.Good for sport jackets,blazers and formal suits. Never use patterned pocket squares for this.

5. PUFF FOLD
This fold looks inflated or puffed and I would recommend this on casual wears. All patterned pSs fit this fold.
Method:
Place the ps on a flat surface
Pick it up by the center
Flip it upside down and tuck it into your breast pocket.
It looks natural. Yap

Now you know. Next I will take you through on how to much pocket squares with your attire and stand out .

Checked blazers of all times

Tailors or rather designers never go wrong in their advice for checked blazers as piece of advice to their clients. Consider the classic look, striking match and semi casual/ official look that the wearer gains.
The checked blazers have come along way and as such has helped preserve the traditional heritage of 'Styled man'. I like other folks believe that the 'label is never important than the labelled', However, the Label must represent the labelled.
Today majority of the checked fabric have come in bright and appealing colors and most of the young men in the urban hoods are embracing the art of modern designers. take for instance, Nairobi. The University of Nairobi compound is awash with young, ambitious and literate class of men and women who have clad in fitting checked blazers.
Other universities and colleges in Nairobi is no exception.
Joseph Allamano says, and  I hope he referred to style and fashion, 'The good must be done well'
And so Remember these about your checked swag for wellness:

• Keep it fitting to your size - oversize jackets give lackluster appearance to the wearer.

• Choose the right color for your skin otherwise you'll get lost in the suit. Designers will always give advice on this.
  
• Never give up try these with tips. You can contact Million men with swag( facebook), https://www.facebook.com/pages/Million-Men-with-Swag/448624125188218 and get the variety to choose from.

Straight or Distorted: See the meaning of Red Car-pet

In one of my recent trips, I managed to link up with well-to-do humans. Such humans put their feet on carpets - "Red" to be precise. So, you like me, may ask, 'What's the meaning of this spiritually loud word that everybody got fuss about?
Lets start by being on point: Google says: It is a long narrow red, carpet laid on the ground for DISTINGUISHED visitor to walk on arrival.( Not departure- my own guess). Better still google says, it is privileged treatment of such visitor.
Cambridge Dictionary puts it more or less the same, 'A long red floor covering put down for an IMPORTANT guest to walk on when he or she visits "somewhere and receives special welcome".

"somewhere and receives special welcome" mean arrival and so not exit nor departure.
Funny enough, i can't tell through which door i got in but what am conscious of is I walked on the RED CARPET at DEPARTURE. Am I distinguished?

Woo! woo! wait, that ain't really boggling. Caption these two photos . The events happened separately.

Simple Fashion Killer n' Thriller

Simple Fashion Killer n' Thriller

Don't mess up yo' taste of dress as it is of food. Be occasioned, style alert and environment sensitive.

In Kenya for instance, a middle class-able to put on well to meet the 'Occasion' demand will roll his sleeve, sit behind his say Toyota Premio, Honda Crv, Blue bird Nissan... et al and feel the drive compensates his dress and style.
 Illusion, I'll say it again. yo' new acquired drive parks at the lot. It will be sandwitched between Phil's and Calvin's 'fuel gazzlers'- maybe no one at the party conference will get to notice it. So, save yo'self that.
On the floor, as you stand addressing the folks- they need to see the brand.. Thats you. Tidy, styled and fashionable.
Yo' new wardrobe pitch green will kill the birds for you- a'following'. Get yo' feet rolling with official black leather pointed boots.Tis is incase they will need  a glimpse of yo' grip with the floor.

Hold on ,.. the black slim fit blazer with black shirt(blended on the collar or not) will keep you simple with authority. Don't you forget the thrill and buzz of the pocket square. Yo' choice aint bad for the same pant color of the ps. 'Usiringe'. You got it. eyes will follow you to the parking.....Now Kill! Kill! Kill!
It's Friday.
