Emerging Nigerian menswear design label, Josh Amor by Ayobamidele Josh Majekodunmi, presents “Noir” (French word for Black), its debut collection which draws inspiration from Kanye West and Natalie Portman‘s character in ‘Black Swan’. The collection is aimed at being proof that black has an entire world of opposites and can be interpreted in many ways.
According to Josh – “While Black can be described as a portmanteau of distilled moods and emotions with no moral definition, its ambiguity is still as mysterious as the existence of the world itself.” He also sees this collection as the way to show how black is related to the dual nature of man’s personality, and how it is the best medium to express the duality.

I hope you remember the case of that married lady who was said to have died in her secret lover's custody in a suburb of Lagos recently? Well, there are new updates to the very shameful saga.
A suicide note the late married woman wrote has been found in the room...
Late Mrs. Joy Bakare, who left her husband over disagreements had delivered a set of twins for her secret lover, Fatai Rafiu. It was earlier reported that she died days after giving birth to the twins, not knowing that Mrs Joy actually took her own life.
According to what she wrote before killing herself, she thought that her lover, Fatai, would marry her, most especially because she left her husband for him. But after sleeping with her and impregnated her, Fatai refused to fulfill all the sweet promises he made to her and no way to go back to her husband.
In her suicide note, the late Mrs. Joy expressed her disappointment and frustration after she became pregnant and delivered the babies for her secret lover.
She stated that she was abandoned by her lover after she became pregnant and delivered the twins.
It was learnt that she complained to neighbours that she had hoped Fatai would marry her after she left her husband because of him. But that did not happen as she later discovered that Rafiu was married and had children, and he could not rent an apartment for her even after she had the babies.
According to PM News, she already had three children with her husband who resides in Sururere area before she became pregnant for Fatai through their secret affair.
Late Joy's husband have refused to speak on the matter as his wife has got what she was looking for.
Woman bites off Daughter’s Ear for Sleeping with Her Boyfriend in Delta State
In what looks like a ferry tale, the case of the seed of discord between the housewife and the daughter over boyfriend, it was reliably gathered, was borne out of evil intentions, especially with the circumstances that are said to be surrounding the shameful incident.
Sources said the fight which led the mother biting off a scoopful of flesh from the daughter’s ear, took place around camp 74 behind Ibori Golf course within Asaba campus of the Delta State University.
The 46-year-old woman is the secret lover of an Ibo trader who was deported to Nigeria three years ago from Spain, but he allegedly hoodwinked the woman’s daughter into a relationship.
The daughter in question had recently graduated from a university in the South-south region and is on her visit to the mother after her Youth Service in Rivers State.
While their love relationship blossoms, the unsuspecting mother who is a secondary school vice principal, was said to have showered her lover boy with gifts, including part of her monthly salaries.[Read More…]
But this was not to be when the daughter identified as Mabel Igbinosa flippantly opened up to her friend her relationship with the Igbo man who is building materials trader, including how he made love to her in marathon exercise.
According to Leadership, this placed the mother on red alert including watchful eye after the friend secretly let out the discussion to her.
The mother decided to visit the Igbo man’s house wearing unsuspecting appearance around Okwe Quarters, Asaba. The daughter sighted her mum and ran into a neighbour’s room to hide.
Sources say the mum too entered a nearby neighbour’s room and laid siege for her daughter to come out.
After enjoying herself with her mother's boyfriend, the girl left his house, unknown to her that the mother was still around. She immediately pounced on her, bit off her ear before stabbing her with a bottle.
Men from Delta State Police have arrested the mother, daughter and the randy lover boy. What a shame!

AMEH ESTHER- A New Era of Fashion
Step into a world of exotic fashion, with a range of high trendy collections that provides clients with better contemporary options. Located at the Lambogini House Lekki, the Esther Fashion House berths with a brick and mortar fashion showroom and a digital online store. The London-based brand, run by Nigerian Entrepreneur Esther, champions feminism and the handmade sensibility of nineteenth century intricate and bespoke tailoring.
With each piece handmade in London, Esther describes her process of creation as resembling the art of sculpture, as opposed to fashion design.
Sculpting fabrics onto the female form, Esther’s eponymous label looks to the past to create a new era of fashion, an era that not only introduces a new style of fashion for women, but also a new system of fashion entirely.
Each silhouette is created as part of a small capsule collection called ‘Octettes’, a new fashion term coined by Esther that derives from one of the Victorian era’s most iconic fashion items – the corset, which creates an hourglass figure-8 shape..
At Esher’s Private Showroom in Lagos, Esther displays her signature style inspired by the opulence and eccentricity of Victorian couture tailoring proposed for cocktail dresses, evening gowns and bridal wear; alongside party separates and the ‘E-SMA’ accessories line (for both men and women) inspired by Prince Ndudi (C.A) . On the opposite end of the style-spectrum,
Esther explores another branch of Esty tailoring that was once reserved only for menswear.
The art of bespoke traditional British tailoring revolutionised the way men dress in the nineteenth century and found a permanent home on London’s Savile Row. Men’s suits were, and continue to be, tailored by skilled craftsmen handmade exclusively to each man’s individual style, taste and size.
Esther adopts this tradition of British tailoring with sister label Femme De Rose, where women can design their own classic wardrobe staples to their own style and taste using Eyola’s online virtual design companion. The finished design is handmade in London by skilled craftsmen, following the art of traditional Savile Row tailoring, and then shipped to your doorstep.
