BUNNIES BY MARY ANNE ALABI

MARY ANNE ALABI

There was a garden called Eden, a garden of the Lord. Here lives Adam and Eve in the olden days. A period there was no civilization. A period with no electricity and machines; a period with no perfume or aftershave, a period with no FASHION TV or E channel; it was a blind period. This period witnessed a transformation; a revelation, and the call for covering were made after she ate the apple.

Clothes are more than coverings, they are cultural. From the Baro’t Saya styles of the Philippines, to the hakama and yukata of the Japanese, the feathered headgears and kaftan of the Egyptians, to the buba and soro of the Yoruba, babbanriga and jalabia of the Hausa, the Twarb of the Arabs, the bead coverings of the Binis, one would see that clothing are more than just what we wear, they really determine who we are.

The transformation to the modern fashion world of sophisticated clothing, where machines cut to precision, and machines sow instead of hands has not changed much of the cultural importance of clothing. One other component that is pertinent is fashion.

There are combinations and styles that play well in the sights of people. When we mix wrongly; it becomes a sour to the eyes. Thus we need thread carefully while putting those clothes on to match the appearance imagined.

Here is Mary Anne Alabi…… a woman who has dedicated her entirety to the fashion world. She is a wardrobe consultant of our time, and an icon in the world of fashion. A stylist of high reputation determined to change the cultural loss of identity the world is gaining through the misuse of materials culled into fashion. From the tip of your hair to your foot, she is pleased to develop the reality you’ve never imagined.

In her just concluded research on the culture of hair and coverings she had discovered that your hair needs so much attention. From berets, to the square caps, hair nets, hats, bowler hats, Monmouth cap, sailors cap, shower cap, Rasta cap … to mention a few she had concluded that in our society of today the Mary Anne Bunnies would be the best. A package that leaves your hair to float, under your control. A palatial feel of old introduced into the world of fashion today. It’s great what a woman of her status could harvest from the deepest mixtures of her thought.
