Guardian Life Article - Fashion A-Z

This is today's Guardian Life article, mostly tongue in cheek...enjoy :)


FASHION A-Z


A is for Accent. From OAPs to “actresses”, your ensemble is not complete without an American/British/Canadian/Australian/Gibberish accent by way of DSTV.


B is for Bend Down Select, a secret fashionista haven


C is for Chanel. Sidekick, lover, friend.




is for Diffusion Line, from DEAT Lagos to CLAN to J Label….serving all your budget fashion needs.







is for Excess, the Nigerian watchword. Go large or go borrow/steal/hit up a sponsor.







is for Fashion Week. Of which there are several of varying credibility.


is for Guardian Life, enough said......

R is for Replica, the secret behind many a Birkin on a Lagos red carpet.

Girl A -“I need someone who can supply me with at least 3000 barrels of crude a month”
Girl B -“Oh I do that too!


W is for Wedding Saturdays, a day of nationwide tension both feared and anticipated. Aided and abeted by Bella Naija, Aisle Perfect and co.


X  is for Xtra. Outdo your neighbor or die trying.


Y is for yellow paw-paw, artificial or otherwise. The perfect accessory to that borrowed red carpet dress.


Z is for Z-list, a focus group gradually gaining relevance as the A-list slides into extinction.
