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.
