Bags are a Women’s Best Friend
Friday, 17 April 2015
When
it comes to understanding why a handbag is so important to a woman, men have
always been at something of a loss.
Rather than considering the contents to be valuable and essential, men
have traditionally dismissed most items as unnecessary for everyday life. But now a female judge in the UK has leapt to
the defence of the humble handbag, after a barrister suggested having one
stolen was merely a crime of "inconvenience".
Dismissing
his claims, Her Honour Judge Zoe Smith, said the victim was often left
suffering from stress, anxiety and fear, adding that the crime should not be
trivialised.
8 Reasons Women Put So Much Stuff in their Bags
The one thing I share with womenfolk worldwide is the tendency
to put a tonne of unnecessary items in my handbag. I used to be one of
those women who’d only buy those ridiculously large tote bags, because well
they could fit every and anything. Now,
when you compare this female habit of bag stuffing to that of our male
counterparts, who simply carry a wallet, it really makes you wonder what about
our brain wiring could cause such different behaviour. Here are the 8 reasons,
Do you agree with them?
1. Women like having things they don’t need
2. They also like having important things at their fingertips
3. Just in case they need something, it’s there
4. Just in case the just in case stuff doesn’t work
5. They’re messy and disorganised
6. They never know when they need to save the world
7. To fill the space so it won’t look empty
8. It keeps them sleek, and hides flaws
A woman’s handbag is a fashion statement. It’s an extension
of her personality and sense (or lack) of style. Regardless, she knows that
some spaces must be filled, because it’s not necessarily about functionality.
Stuffing your bag is about completing ‘the look’.
Here at Besaz Boutique we have different types of bags for
different types of styles and budgets.

Nigerian Fashion Week
Friday, 16 January 2015
New York, London, Milan and Paris - The four major Fashion Capitals as we once knew it, but things are changing.
Major city's such as Mumbai, Poland, Sao Paulo and Singapore now all hold their own fashion weeks through out the year including Nigeria which comes under African Fashion Week along with Cape Town, Congo, Nairobi and Swahili to name a few.
This year Nigerian Fashion Week is set to be held in May at the Eko Hotel in Lagos. A chance for African designers to showcase and receive support for their collections which they are no doubt working on endlessly whilst you are reading this, and if last year is anything to go by then we can't wait.
In 2014, highlights came from Aama A La Mode, Aweyan and Daviva to name a few.

AFWN believes in emerging talents and providing a visual platform for them to perform who would not otherwise have the means to gather national and even international attention. Not only are they keen to encourage new talent, they also have the backing and support of already established African designers who work together continuously and tirelessly on the growth of African Fashion, an industry we are proud to support and very much look forward to seeing more of.
Nollywood Style Icons
Tuesday, 13 January 2015
Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth
Taylor and the more modern Jennifer Lawrence. We all know who the Hollywood
Fashion Icons are, but what about the Nollywood and Ghollywood stars?
Who is leading the style pack and who need
locking up by the Fashion Police for being serial offenders?
The Nollywood Film Industry is now the
third most successful in the world, just behind Hollywood and Bollywood, so
surely it’s about time we start to take more notice of their leading ladies and
the impact they’re having on the Nigerian and Ghanaian fashion sector too?
Rita Dominic,
Chika Ike, Mercy Aigbe Gentry and Genevieve Nnaji are all known for their style
status, and unless you’re a fan of Nollywood films you probably haven’t heard
of them. Keeping it classic, stylish and high fashion sometimes with a mix of
traditional African print these ladies tend to get it right most of the time,
however Chelsea Ezeh and Ruth Kadiri haven’t been as lucky according to the
Fashion Police on website Nigeria Films (http://www.nigeriafilms.com)

| Although beautiful, actress Chelsea Ezeh doesn't always get it right when it comes to style. |
As the film
industry grows, along with the actresses popularity and strong influence on the
public so does the Nigerian Fashion Industy.
Last year Forbes ran an article on Kunmi
Otitoju, a 30-year-old Nigerian Fashion Designer of Aso-Oke that she hopes to
make Africa’s version of Hermès and
thrives on the idea of building up a luxury goods market in Africa.

Along with Isoken Ogiemwonyi, Sisters
Tiwa, Teni and Aba, and Emmy Collins they continue to build Nigeria’s Fashion
status. The Nigerian Fashion industry has gradually outgrown the countries
boarders and is now competing with other international fashion industries.
