THE BRAIN BEHIND MOZE APPAREL: HE HAS OF COURSE STYLED THE LIKES OF WIZKID,BANKY W, SKALES, PRAIZ AND MANY MORE CELEBRITIES

Born Moses John. From Edo state but he's based in kaduna state. The thing about Moze apparel is he has the most captivating prints on tees I have ever seen  in Nigeria. I mean lots of people make clothes but the finesse with which Moses creates his tees is really amazing. He takes every detail as important right from the sketch of the artwork on the tees to the kind of print he uses on his tees. Its of american standard. My favourite artwork has to be the "BERNIE DOPE BOY" its the cutest ever. Moses has styled Celebrities like Banky W for his popular Yes/No video, Wizkid *Starboy*, Skales wears his clothes to like every concert and even Praiz cant get enough of him. they just cant resist him. He is a young entrepreneur on the rise and he's definitely one to watch out for. He just might be the Tom Ford of Nigeria. LOL.
That is Banky W in his Yes/No Video and of course he has the Bernie dope boy tee on *wink*

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF FASHION

"There is complex and articulated relationship between fashion and psychology, on which intellectuals and semiologists ask themselves questions, because of the aggregating and explicative power of this link"

"An overdetermined phenomenon which expresses at the same time the individual, the society, the unconscious and one's own personal evolution". This is how Marc-Alain Descamps, French philosopher and psychologist, presents a careful and up-to-date vision of fashion, a complex and ever-changing phenomenon, that covers many roles and values in human psyche". 

Fashion is psychology, fashion means to operate a process everyday, that starts from analysing one's mood and ends with the choice of outfit. Fashion is ever-changing, as ever-changing is the human mind; volatile, as volatile are passions, convictions, people.
Personal style and dress sense are an important means of communication. We use the way we dress for a number of reasons mainly;

- to form and maintain our individual identity
- to reflect our body image and
- to convey a good first impression

101 Fashion Tips and Tricks Every Girl Should Know


When it comes to fashion and style, it sometimes seems that everyone and their mother (literally!) have tried-and-true tips and tricks they absolutely swear by. Some are useful, while others … well, not so much. With that in mind, we’ve culled 101 of the best from the best: designers, lifestyle experts and, of course, our staff. Trust me: With these gems, you’ll be well on your way to living your most stylish life.

101. Despite what it says on the tag, cashmere is best washed by hand. To dry it, use a salad spinner, which releases excess water in seconds.
100. Use white wine to remove red wine stains.
99. Wash new jeans twice before taking them to the tailor. Why? Because jeans will always shrink in length when washed.
98. To stop angora or mohair from shedding, fold the garment and place it into a zip-top bag and freeze it for at least three hours.
97. Remove odors from vintage or thrift clothing by spritzing them with a mixture of one part vodka, two parts water.
96. “Remove white deodorant marks from a garment by gently rubbing the protective foam used on hangers against the fabric.” — Jonathan Simkhai, designer
95. If you get an oil stain on your favorite handbag, coat the mark with baby powder and let it stand overnight. By morning, the stain should be gone. If a bit still remains, repeat the process until the stain is completely gone.

DKNY ROSE



Loving the story behind the new PURE DKNY rose fragrance which is  out now in stores …
A partnership with CARE
pureDKNY will continue its partnership with CARE – a leading humanitarian organization to help lift women out of global poverty. In honor of the launch of pureDKNY’s new scent: Rose, DKNY will make a donation to support CARE, providing resources to help even more women escape poverty. The pureDKNY and CARE partnership began in 2010 with the launch of pureDKNY Vanilla. Together they have helped educate Ugandan vanilla farmers through Village Savings & Loan Associations (VSLA), CARE’s savings-led microfinance program. CARE’s experience has shown that when people in the world’s poorest communities have access to basic financial services – including secure savings, credit, insurance, and other products – they can help lift themselves out of poverty.
 More than a fragrance, through DKNY’s partnership with CARE, pureDKNY is helping to make an impact on improving the financial future for women, one drop at a time. By purchasing its rose from local farmers in Turkey, the majority of whom are women; pureDKNY has taken a step to help secure long-term production of rose production in Isparta.
