All the fun photos at the opening of Alabi Couture new outlet

 

It was fun all the way on Sunday, July 19 when ex-international model turned fashion designer, Meg Alabi opened her new fashion outlet on Ogunlana Drive, Surulere.
The high point of the event was the street style fashion show. The fashion show was declared open by Meg and it was obvious that she is still in touch with modelling.
The MC of the day was Alariwo of Africa. There was so much to eat and drink as well.

Runway queens and the perilous road to size zero

 

 Many models go to the extreme to keep their jobs by taking pills and starving themselves in other to remain skinny despite the health implication of this risky venture. Angela Davies writes on the importance of being skinny in the runway business.
Models are present in every part of the world in commercials, high fashion print magazine and on the runway. They are frequently portrayed as images for the “ideal” body frame for young girls, thus, giving them a false impression of what they “should” look like and that is being ‘skinny.’ Weight is a sensitive but real issue in the business of modelling. For those concerned, there is nothing wrong with being skinny, but being underweight or extremely skinny, as a model has raised dust in different countries around the world. Many of these models have an unrealistic body frame.
