Bolaji Kekere-Ekun




Narrated

 By

Sampson I.M Onwuka 




The brighter version of Bolaji is Sean John - perhaps a cloth-line in default but model with a poise and perhaps a pose manufactures the new image a Shakespeare company in public theater. The suits are outstanding, merits a second look and gives us a culture of relevance in the art of 'good looking'.



Somewhere - perhaps somewhere else we have seen this pose with the hands in display - there is a 'good looking' bar tenet which offer explanation to this fall dress-up, a salon in some distant dusty town whose lithe glow attitude is fitting for a pose reflecting originality and cost more compelling than the image of a star from Nollywood.



Here - more than anywhere is a culture in tune with public image, aliases in person and also in names - there is a link between the model - Bolaji and the designer or reform idol - Sean John.  The model is wearing sweater and he is dressed up for the public in vestibule tunic, long sleeves dress with clothing material not easily available.


But who is Bolaji Kekere Ekun? He is part documentary artist, part agronomist but with a Sean John, he narrates his expression and career challenge differently.






@Sean John




In this picture we have noticed a fresh look at the young man and men in the picture, our collective art-forms shouts for new expression but it is expression in Brooklyn by Sean John and it reflect Brooklyn almost to the ends.


A great designer always leave an expression that is exclusively his or hers. The man in the middle at the picture embodies all the elements of Sean John and represent Brooklyn in many ways than one for the rest of us. Perhaps


Whose art? Whose uniform? yours, mines, but Sean John perfumes is a little different, his cloths are catching up but in vice of young expression - Ekun to Bolaji finds a fit.



One ask the same similar and alternate question - what lies in nothing -- is something. Although a Sean JOHN fashion is plucked from the public music, here, perhaps in Ekun, there is a conservative expression.








@Sean John----New York.




There is something about the 60's that the picture invoke. Things from the past are sometimes apparition - no less 'things around your neck' a theme perhaps on Soyinka - or about theater searching for identity and a search for new meaning from old and a surge of identity.


In some attire there is a statement about the 'boys are back in town', but in these brocade of distinct arrangement - the designer tend to re-assure that the boys never left town.


Not all Sean Johns B.I.G fans may be comfortable in tunic which thankfully for the rest of us is not very Hebrew. But perhaps the tunic over the dark blue speaks for itself and as a seance' interrupted, we are forced to confront an image we can hate or like - minimal as with a character from Half a Yellow Sun - desultory as Othello different.


 







A fashion statement is not art itself, it is a culture of space, times, defines existence and perhaps numbers. Our dress code is part of our human commandment and lifestyle altogether and therefore Agbani in many ways. Bolaji Kekere Ekun on Sean John embodies an attitude that symbolizes a neighborhood in transition - perhaps a history and legacy no longer at ease with its retiring or formal ways.



But here unlike elsewhere, the lost Arcana of Bad Boys Entertainment from 5th and 44th Street, New York, takes an elevated theme and Sean John may have enjoyed a new entrance in his fashion set of statement - it is safe to draper a Sean John for all occasion. The Sean John design was always there like a designer unveiling his sports gear for first time in a crowd of home fans. 
     







A summary of the Sean John outfit perhaps. It is more than 4 star....if we can ignore the blings.

Kendall Jenner 2015


Narrated by

Sampson Onwuka


Not imperiled by sight, not forgiven by a demanding industry - there are better things to say about individual effort in a competitive fashion industries - where she torches us is a different story. A Kendall Jenner is not item for oil canvas, she is young, new and tried in an industry that elevate and drown altogether, she is possessed of some attribute - her legs - her hair but beauty in all parts is not really hers. The impression on the model is details in parts they invokes a new meaning, something inaccessible - that grow up too quickly especially in 2015 when there are periods of her visible presence. Perhaps in part, there is a question of what constitute a model - for if we regard the star content of beauty as a quality within or outside the shinning stars, there are bright spots that imperils us. Looking at the combination in some of the outfits for a 'fashion week', Kendall Jenner, 2015, is an attempt to break the rounds of her appearance. She is not innocent which is one her personality duopoly and as such fails to conjecture the fan club of young and restless. The Star is young - if at all she is - which also means that she is taking her career with conviction that comes with it. She is not there yet or does not need to fancy her unique impressions.  - for short - the impression does not endure and they are not visible. Perhaps the conjecture is explicated differently, that a model is not one until there are demands for a Kendall Jenner - perhaps 2015 may or may not light the way but hers is not new but somehow we look at her.

The Public may react to apathy

By

Sampson I.Onwuka

"We came down to report and I offended those who lost so much. I am sorry" Al Roker 

Hundreds of Americans express their concern for Al Roker and his 'insensitive' pictures in South Carolina during the devastating flood. The T.V personality may shown a side that South Carolinas did not easily agree with.

How the public react to some issue may differ as per conditions but reaching back to all of us was a way to re-assert the essence of an over-man.  

The main issue is not the apology but what exactly was said to trigger public reactions. Assuming we buy the picture from Twitter that Al Roker seemed to have smiled at the pictures despite the woman's struggles, leaves us to censure both sides of the fence in spite of the dapper personalities involved. 

Below is a book by Al Roker 'Storm of the Century' smiling for the Press which pales in comparison with a much louder self, but in all reality, a professional journalist and news-hunt.

The Storm of the Century concerns the Galveston Texas hurricane that ended 10, 000 lives and property worth 700 million dollars by today's standard.  Compared to stories of the survivors and State reaction to Galveston - there are perhaps a few lessons to earn.

Al Roker leads the Doppler which remained for a time his best written program for accu-weather and has reasons to fall back on incident. In fall to one of the book of his career 'Don't let me stop this car' concerning his upbringing and his own papa - there is a connection between family and rain storm.   

Whereas the story may have died the night he came to reassure victims that there was still much more to expect, it leads the rest of us to consider the practical approach to accu-weather, the role of NBC T.V personalities in holding down some of the wet conditions in any time of disaster like in Sandy (2012) and in Katrina (2005) is not never overstating.

A Saint Laurent say for 2016


Intro,

S.I.M Onwuka

It is not impossible to challenge a failure of a City of Austin or Round Rock is drawing aside a difficult say on Camera and human attitude. Perhaps New York offers attempts at realities but a fashion by Saint Laurent should steal a picture from the future.

There is language in the dress codes, but it wearies to an extent how movie actors and action combine to deny the common New York sustainable elegance. A spirit of Christmas is seen in the garments although she speak for 2016 - there are realities that cannot die in the fashion forward. We take interest in Cameras as a way to lead 2016 but the cheaper these come they fall with ease upon the genteel crowd looking to grasp for newer things.

This picture for a Saint Laurent accuses its meaning and symbol against the large comparative canopy of several decorates and designers in one stray container for New York Times. There is anemia of Black impression but the authors and cameo does not flash to impress. It is better to show one designer for one day and compare just every now and then, two or more designers for a fashion week.

The collection writes back to Spring 2015. A spring occasion offers interesting light on what to expect for October as inception for the coming year. It is too early to gauge of the collectors and designers, but some exclusive collection deserve a second coming. There is style in 2015 but here, there is trend.

Fausto Puglisi - Milan fall of 2015 via Bazaar

By

Sampson I.M Onwuka 

What we can compare is the delicacy of leading fashion from competing industries around the world. At least we can speak of the first five families - perhaps six or perhaps seven in fashion; Milan, New York, Paris, London, with Pakistan making the list for special emphasis on bridal wear. Here we compare the wealth of Puglisi to other materials in the fashion week exposing a leading trend and perhaps something else.



 @ Fausto PUGLISI from Milan Fall 2015


 
 @GUCCI for Milan 2015

The Bazaar's touch on the bridal theme force a run-off between a Puglisi against a Gucci as a comparison between two items in the picture above, perhaps, there is something interesting in the gowns, perhaps it is a question of the combination of the parts

The two part two distinctive fashion crochet represent their tradition and perhaps their schools - does not indicate the limits of bridal trends in today's fashion or explicate on it but it leads away from tradition in the garments industries and leads also somewhere else. From a distance, we are looking at a comparison from style from leading houses in trends and in fashion. It is what the market responds that controls our interest and to a large extent how the exactitude of the couturier in meeting public expectation also makes a difference. 

The dresses are more telling for its combination. As to Gucci - its red rosette outfit is a style to early to 30's and in terms of the shoes - there is an acquired recycle from 60's. The color is a second matter, that the footwork marking its steps from the pavement reveal shoes of green avocado in color, perhaps intended to make a point about the lack luster of green on beaten red, perhaps intended to reveal the lush of the underneath skin. We can hardly miss the image the house of Gucci attempts to represent - there is tradition and gowns for rich patrons.

Puglisi on the picture slightly above is breached by emphasis to the collar of the garment - as if the look inspires a renaissance of 60's without a redact to the earlier millennia. With Gucci - the chest is almost bare - characteristic of a statement which is not femininity. With Puglisi - at list from the picture there is a cover that smarter to the neck.    

The nascent picture and the image for the fashion week is for Puglisi an item that borrowed from somewhere else.The counter olive is a Puglisi original with hints of 2012 - a class from the flowery 2013 Puglisi and the shoulder pad. The magazines speak of the 'Unexpected Bridal Looks' but closer, this is not exactly the case. There is something of freedom in the two pictures, something that dovetail the arrival of marriage garments for ordinary occasion. The style in this case tend to have migrated from social outfit to conservation of marriage. 

If we arrive to the comparison too short and too late, our views and expectations corresponds well with FIT for 2015.Whereas Puglisi and Gucci for Milan 2015 is raving to new meaning, it is Dolce & Gabbana that defines the attitude this year. In style, there is departure in apparels -even in choice of colors - even for a wedding day - and for such occasions and perhaps others like it - there are more mature dress appeal for opening days.

Nigerian President, Mohammed Buhari visits the White House


By
Sampson I.M Onwuka 

July 20th meeting with Barack Obama
A fashionable outing for a newly elected President Muhammad Buhari 
Beginning with the issues of long term development and relationship between Nigeria and United States with the primary materials of economic development, Amadou Sy writing with background on Brookings Institute, that,  

“A defining feature of all the Obama administration’s activities in Africa has been the great emphasis the president has placed on improving the U.S.-African commercial relationship and supporting broader inclusive economic growth throughout the region.”



The theme of the visit is by Nigerian President, Mohammed Buhari is to establish his long standing relationship with White House following his recent victory in the United States and on the victory at the elections which highlight some of the needs for multi-national long term growth in energy.


Brooking Institute is not impressive with its lectures on African and American economic commission; it is not impressive with graphs that hone other information gaps about Africa and in this case, Nigeria and it is easily pedestal on the bi-lateral business -between these countries dodging the primary problems as it were.


“Each of his signature programs have consistently included a prominent role for the business community, with Power Africa reportedly leveraging an astounding $20 billion in commitments from the private sector to support badly needed electricity generation and access in the region.”


The informed background of some of the assumptions with investment in both cases do inspire the least dispassionate observer or treat the challenges that are easily at home with the more fundamental questions of credit and leverages which the banks and its populist daring can enhance and parallel themes with Central Banks as it were may help to create.


(1)


The article is intended to suppress some of the assumptions about business in Africa and the cultural gaps in the process.

“When measured by a subset of Heritage’s freedom ranking on “open markets” (trade, investment, and financial freedom), sub-Saharan African countries have been fairly static throughout Obama’s terms in office, but have recorded some modest progress. On Heritage’s scale of 0-100, sub-Saharan African countries on average have improved their score from 47 to 51 since 2008, an increase of approximately 9 percent.”

We can only mention that the varying expectation of the Nigerian energy investment and interest in environmental control would require the more grasping upgrade of Nuclear Energy even from Private Corporation, stymied by the saga of Boko-Haram in very recent times.
There are more handsome issues to discuss between Nigeria, Africa and America; many of us fill in the gaps in pushing the limits of these assumptions at any level including the prosperity of war currency and re-domination of the local papers.



 (2)

“…the president’s strategy on U.S.-Africa relations also identifies “…strong public financial management” as a key means to “…increase transparency and effectiveness in government operations and broaden the revenue base.”

In a book written by James Anderson, he clearly stated that claim for products mastered by the difference between a closed end investing category of the International and open end investing category.
But from this man’s book, we learn that one "Closed end hold a portfolio of investments and rise and fall according to market conditions. They have a limited number of shares, and trade like stocks in the New York Stock Exchange"

It was this exercise of Wall Street practice that makes it possible for this exercise to have any meaning among Africa American investors. Since there are hardly any or enough business for Blacks in these United States, it levers on the many few to adjust to this issue of investment for one or two types of reasons.


(3)


“Acknowledging this deficiency, President Obama has prioritized supporting greater regional integration in Africa, highlighting intra-African harmonization as a key point in his strategy toward the region and backing that up with new programs like Trade Africa, which aims to increase coordination between countries in East Africa.”
 

James Anderson once stated that this statement may seem unusually ambiguous to the enabled degree that some of the changes in the stock market since the Archipelago for instance and the world market Vanguards, has given the Stock market a whole new make and has increased the investment alternatives that does not necessarily subtend with closed and open ends stock registrar.

This blog here does not belong to any specific item or individual of any kind or military attachment or whatever, it is not the same as any other group - or any abbreviated alternative such as Gabbani, Habbana, etc., and I, Sampson I.M Onwuka, can state that consultative face to face is not required, that the blog Agbani helps to meet fashion challenges with over stated intent on some one interesting but not all, it attracts other issues - this is dissent --- ibiiiaaagggggbbbaaaani (Ibiagbani) is one and only, that I, Iroabuchi Sampson Onwuka have and recognize.  


It will interesting any party that there is such a thing called ONUMA as a system, owned and registered by Iroabuchi Sampson Onwuka, so speaks he, that it is a total network on primary level and has other programs and software running through it and on and so on. However the 'ison' is not Onu on anything, for instance ONU UGHA, ONU OHU, ONU MA, etc., ison machine is manioc (?) registered from IBM and is being running for a long time - since Facebook as far we know.

Presidential Suits in comparative performance to London Fashion Week 2015



By




Sampson I.M Onwuka






The lack of character in these cloths and from London Fashion does not defy men's fashion. The images below can only compel the image of the male in fashion - with or without the bestiality of urbane dressing characteristic of men, or suit for men's suit for certain occasion. There are obvious references to style of men's dressing or what constitute male aptitude. The fashion industries and worlds such as Milan, Paris, New York and London to some extent, force the case of what makes any male's suit stand up. It could be the inside lining, the uniqueness of the lapel, the pads, the bull-buttons, the front mound, the dress pants and doubled pleated pants with its stretch points and horizon. It could be the tailor's style and trend or the man in the office. Most fashion outfits - especially for men must deliberately emphasis his social expectation and address the ego.
We can not help but presume incognito that the men's fashion in real terms and recently do not suffer
in quality. To make up for the lapse in the quality we may borrow from pictures of those in office - like the President - if male - or attorney general if male in this case. It may be egoist and thorough-going to make the statement true that the nature of political personality demands attention, but failure to proudly display the male side is two type difficult to grasp. Part of the reason is the connection between social expectation and expression where in my opinion - for instance London Fashion week does not solution the demand curve for better dressing for men, especially in its attempt to escape obvious Tod Ford dressing like the better versions of James Bond and Jason Bourne. 






The picture of the U.S president above does not strike us as a theme for gender neutral, it is a suit characteristic of male and the persona is within the dogma of the oval office. We are trying to praise the male uniqueness of dressing to the theme of the London Fashion week which is gender-less. In essence, it is not true that fashion character fades - at least fashion is charismatic in its essence and with the brown suit by the President Obama and V-lapel and padded chest, tingle front - there is hardly anything to hide that the designer intended the suit to impress. The posse is exercised and the command of attention is deliberate. In principal, we cannot fail to recognize the attention to details and impossibility of not feeling a presence of male however refrain. 


If designers take more interest in Presidential suits, and how politicians and others dress, and if they take adequate time in looking at some of the faults with the men's fashion industry, they would have seen that fashion is one thing that can help re-program our basic psychology for some occasion. For through this exemplary dress code for Presidents - especially for lanky President Obama - we can borrow a few remaining tips on fashion and the importance of dressing or what should look like under any circumstances.







Gender-less dressing - even for suit is a failure, it inspires very docile almost lacking energy and for men's fashion if not for females, there are case of pride in feeling important. Below is the image of the president in very charismatic and unusual suits for the White House - dark blue suits and sleigh of brilliant color-matching ties - familiar with U.S presidents as if these are primary colors but it is fitting in terms of what suits are all about for me.


President Barack Obama in White House dressing that compares to George W. Bush during his time in office. It is the shoe that stands out, the pants stand out and the cotton shirt is also interesting. It is not about the President, it is the confidence of arbitration.







Nowadays there is something foul about men seeking after fashion for men, although ultimate social badge and stereotype for such embrace is that such that fashion for men as essentially gay is fashion emasculated by other interpretation.In comparison to other fashions of the many Presidents of the world, there is a standard that U.S maintains that impacts the rest of the society on the importance of the office. It looks to clarify that the range of spurts by CEO and Managing directors of companies are not dress-code for for the fun of it. Their dress code is to enhance the images of the men in office and allow the appreciation of office to kowtow. 

If 2015 London  Fashion week is telling sign of the future, we regard some of the cloth lines as unacceptable and laud that the designers who differ from one pattern to another, betray the future of male market. This does not mean that we are running to the Presidential Suits to recover what's left or the men's fashion in 2015, but it mirrors perhaps how people differ from one form to another, that the people differ from one form to another because expression and expectations are personal and fashion statement exorcise the images of the model. 

There is something wrong and right for such reasons for it, with or without opting out for men and men's cloths; it is wrong to queue such denial of basic humanity as gender biased and denial of male to male understanding as progressive does not reflect the genderless era - so to speak.  




The President arriving for a speech through the Air-force One





President Obama speaking to Veterans.






The personalities of interest interact and Gold legend Tiger Woods greets U.S President Barack Obama. Money talks at this level, but the nifty psychology of imposing male authority receives the anointing to tow down the expensive business.


Fashion makes a good impression on others, suits are remembered for occasions which may not necessarily be at our beck and call. It is here that we connection Presidential and First Lady's Fashion, Mad Queens Esthers and Elizabeth's dressing for specific occasion and why. What others wear for some occasion can be a sermonizing link pattern the past, the present, and the future.

London's Men's Fashion Week 'Street'

Auspicious collection of Men's Fashion at the London Fashion Week 2015 Day 2 and 3 Street style by (1) Dylan and Hope.

The attempt is to create a  version of village life in North London but the courage of the red shoes fails against the placed color of the overall.



@Marcus Dawin






Street location in London, names may be missing but the pictures roundly distributed on the net show leading interest of London men. There is emphasis on the shoes and tight jeans.





 picture by impressionist.com



They look fashionable but there is nothing spectacularly about the suits and there is a lot imitation especially for dress code and the swag. You can also see these men as models who playing on making an injury with each other but the message and the look for the public dressing is too saccharine for street style.
