The new ‘Touch of Sculpture’ fabric collection from Vlisco teases the senses. Blink and look again – you’ll see the same thing twice, but on a different level. A double layer, seemingly rigid, flows in sync with the rapid movement of the fabric. The collection, a true celebration of textiles, embraces various textile techniques. Experience the passionate warmth of a soft colour scheme containing both romantic pinks and reds and subtle greens and blues, resulting in silky smooth combinations that can be blended endlessly.
Some Fashionable styles in Ankara
“Colour is powerful! Colours are fraught with symbolism, and cultural influences. There is also a physiological affect when colour is applied. TeKay Designs salutes colours with an exciting array of fashion looks that display exuberant hues for this spring and also offer an ethnic casual and semi-formal collection of multicolored jumpsuits, jackets, skirts, tops, and dresses made of Ankara fabrics and adorned with trims.
We display different unique styles from two colours- yellow and orange. Let’s give a little insight into these colours.
For example, the colour yellow has proven to stimulate the brain. This stimulation can make you more alert and decisive. This colour actually makes muscles more energetic.
Also, the colour orange is known to have positive effects on your emotional state. This colour helps relieve feelings of self-pity, a lack of self-worth and unwillingness to forgive. It is also mentally stimulating as well as socially inviting.
The Kungfu that is GELE
One of the Uk’s up and coming black artists recently unveiled his new collection. Influenced by God, African culture and nature, Zimbabwean British born artist Tonderai shows off the splendour of Africa in his latest work. Titled the Gele collection, his most recent artwork, made the Nigerian Gele the focus of his paintings. The story the images tell are that Africans are trendsetters not followers.
Through his art, Tonderai’s aim is to promote African traditions and represent the culture of Africans in a positive light, for there is a need for individuals to be enlightened about the traditions of Africans.
Gele’s therefore fall naturally into what he aims to bring across through his artwork. The beauty and of course the uniqueness of Geles, show off Africa in a glorious light. The Gele collection, merges the beauty of Geles with the beauty of the four seasons; spring, summer, autumn, winter.
so thats all folks please kindly drop your comments so we know what you feel about these paintings.
The EKOCYCLE Headphones
If you’re in the market for a new set of headphones and you’re keen on picking up something that’s environmentally-friendly as well, the EKOCYCLE might be just what you’re looking for. Created by Coca-Cola and Beats by Dr. Dre, EKOCYCLE headphones are part of a new global sustainability and recycling initiative called EKOCYCLE. The brand will feature products partially made from recycled materials to help raise environmental awareness amongst the younger generation.
In addition to Beats headphones, more products will be added to the EKOCYCLE lineup later this year. Expect an official launch of the headphones in the near future after the EKOCYCLE brand makes its debut tomorrow with a 60-second on air commercial during the telecast of the Summer Olympic Games. I don’t have much details about the headphones for now but according to reuters, the EKOCYCLE headphones are expected to cost around $349 thats around N55840 at our current exchange rate in Nigeria, hmmm how far can we go to listen to good music, i mean, It may be friendly to the environment, but too bad we can’t say the same for our wallets.
