Not long ago there were publications that went viral on social media suggesting that ElikemTheTailor and his beautiful wife, Pokello Nare were heading to court for a divorce.

According to the publications, the reason why the couple were heading for a divorce was that Pokello did not wish her husband "a birthday" on his birthday.

However, Elikem who spoke on JoyNews refuted all such allegations and indicated he owes no one an explanation when it comes to his marriage.

"Why are people dwelling on what's on social media....I don't understand why there hasn't been a post where people will not want to jump to conclusion A, B or C."

"Secondly. I am not to spit out what's private at home on air, to say yes I am divorced or no I am not divorced so whether I am divorced or not, I am sure it's not anyone's business so to speak"....Elikem said.

However, his wife Pokello Nare has come out to respond all these divorce allegations after she shared a tweet on her twitter handle.

She indicated in her tweet that the only way life will be better for you is not being worried about how it looks to people who don't matter.

"Life's better when you stop worrying about how it looks to people who don't matter!", Pokello tweeted

From her tweet, it indicates that there's probably no cause for alarm, as the publications that went viral on social media were just false alarms.

ElikemTheTailor met Pokello Nare back in 2013 when they were in the Big Brother Africa House. The two fell in love with each other, and in 2014 Elikem proposed to Pokello at the Ghana Music Awards Night in 2014, in what I will say is one of the memorable proposals I have seen. The two got married in 2015, and have a son called Tristan.Read more at:purple bridesmaid dresses | pink bridesmaid dresses

  

Moon Choi, 27, is a Seoul-born, New York–based designer with a mind of her own. Through a dreamy lineup of boxy suit coats and sheer piped tunics, the recent Parsons graduate intends to affect change. “I always look at gender boundaries and want to break them,” she says. “There are no rules to making clothing or to wearing them.” It is a powerful movement in the States, but still nascent in Korea, where Choi is from. But more surprising than her personal revelations regarding gender is the lack of heavy-handed messaging to accompany it—Choi’s clothes are simply lovely and plainly presented to people without labels.

In a sunlit showroom space in Soho, not far from where she currently works, she pages through her Spring 2018 sophomore offering (her first, Fall 2017, was her graduation collection). Scenes inspire her: Here, she imagined a single figure, waking up in bed at dawn. “Woman, man, it doesn’t matter, but looking at that person’s shape, their back,” she says, “the linen blanket, the sunbeams coming through the window, those soft textures.” The feeling comes through clearly in the poetic clothes, largely woven in silk, cotton, and other natural fibers.

There are shrug-sleeve coats and wrap skirts the color of turmeric, constructed largely from Japanese fabrics: a soft pink velvet, slightly wrinkled as though it was slept on. Then there’s a sheer dyed organza that she developed and plans to make her signature. “This see-through nature, it’s like the sun coming through the curtains,” she says, lifting the sleeve of a pale blue shirtdress with thick white dimensional stripes that nod to window blinds. “They create those lines and shadows.” Similarly, cargo pouch pockets are shaped like the window’s frame.

Moon Choi revolves around tailoring—the typically masculine realm of suits first caught her eye as a kid, watching her father, a businessman, dress for the office. “Every time he left the house, he would come out in a clean suit,” she says. “I started to look at how the clothes formed his identity and attitude.” Working within that limited framework, Choi tries to upend expectations and “blur the boundaries between masculine and feminine”: silk blazers with dramatically padded shoulders and suit coats worn backwards as a cool subversion.

This rule-breaking stance is particularly revolutionary for a native Korean, as the country maintains fairly rigid gender norms to this day (“In Korea, women have a specific kind of role,” she says with some frustration). Choi is still informed by her childhood in Seoul, particularlyby the inflexible school system. Girls wear stereotypically feminine, deliberately modest skirts and collared tops; there is little room for expression, and she hated that then. “But when I started studying fashion, I became fascinated by that slight tension in the clothes,” she says. “Uniforms and suits, mixing those elements and finding freedom within them gave me a sense of purpose. To find freedom inside daily life.”

Choi puts it simply: “When it comes to gender, these days, women’s and men’s doesn’t matter,” she says. “You might be a man, but want to wear a skirt. I just design it, and then put it out there to let the customers decide.” Now, with the launch of her e-commerce platform today and a full-scale presentation to follow next year, more people than ever will be free to do just that—in New York, Seoul, and all points in between.Read more at:white formal dresses | vintage formal dresses

  

it’s an overcast Parisian morning, and leaves the colour of maple syrup are raining down on the street style photographers gathered outside Pavillon Ledoyen. They’re confident of their prospects today—after all, the name on the invite says Manish Arora, which is basically a fashion synonym for ‘the crazier, the better’.

Rounding up a decade of showcasing at Paris Fashion Week, Arora has a treat in store for his Spring/Summer ’18 presentation. The designer has teamed up with fine jewellery label Zoya, whose eclectic handmade pieces will be paired with his garments for the very first time. If this seems like an oddball combination, it’s only because you haven’t fully appreciated the bold choices Zoya’s master craftsmen make with their jewellery. Pink enamel lotus blossoms dangle from one model’s earlobes; a peacock feather-inspired statement necklace highlights the collarbones on another. While the show’s jewellery is a curated mix from Zoya’s recent collections, the showstopper, if you will, is the Pont Des Arts necklace, inspired by Paris’s melancholic bridge of love.

“We spent a year working on the Musée Du Luxe collection, and all the handcrafted pieces are inspired by various Parisian icons, from the Eiffel Tower bracelet to the Arc de Triomphe necklace,” explains Amanpreet Ahluwalia, business head, Zoya. “Our pieces are not what you would ordinarily expect when you think of Indian handcrafted jewellery, and that’s why we thought Manish Arora was the perfect match.”

Not that Arora needed too much convincing. You only need to hear him wax eloquent about Paris and its mythical charms to know why the collaboration was such a natural fit.

He adds, “Our Spring/Summer ’18 collection reflects fun and luxury interpreted through printed, embroidered and embellished motifs of hearts, stars, feathers and flowers, and many of these design elements are beautifully crafted through precious gems and metals in their collections. Both at Manish Arora and Zoya, we spend months creating our pieces, meticulously by hand. It’s an aspect of both our products that comes through quite evidently, and it’s what I am most pleased about in the course of this collaboration.”Read more at:formal dresses online australia | cheap formal dresses online

Despite how long laser hair removal has been around now, there is still a lot that many don't know about the hair removal system. When I signed up for a course of laser treatments for my underarms at sk:n, a UK-based skin clinic, I threw out my razors, shaving creams, and home-waxing kit because I just knew it was the savior I'd been waiting for. (Spoiler alert: I was wrong!) If you're considering underarm laser hair removal, read on for the five things I wish I'd known before I started the treatment.

Is It Permanent?

A course of six to eight treatments is usually recommended for the best results, with top-up sessions prescribed as needed. After six treatments, I found my coarser underarm hairs growing back and needing to be shaved more and more, so while the follicles attached to the finer hairs in my underarms appear to be permanently defunct, the ones attached to my coarser ones don't appear to have been affected at all. That being said, I currently only shave them every seven to 10 days, which is better than the twice weekly shaves I had to endure before.

Does It Hurt?

As the saying goes, beauty is pain, and if you consider being hairless a beautiful thing, then you'd better be prepared for the pain of laser hair removal. Despite how quick and uncomplicated the sessions are, laser hair removal isn't exactly painless. The zap of the laser is comparable to someone repeatedly flicking rubber bands into your underarm skin for about 10 minutes, and when that's done, you can expect to be tender for up to 24 hours after. You're always advised to shave the night before a laser session to avoid the laser burning any hair as it blitzes over the area being treated.

When Do You Start Seeing Results?

Although results vary depending on each person, I started seeing a difference in the fine texture of my regrowth after the second session. The growth was fine enough that I didn't feel the need to shave in the six weeks between that session and the next. After the first session, though, you may start noticing hairs growing as normal and then quickly falling out as the follicles slowly die. This is completely normal.

How Long Does It Take?

For underarm treatments in particular, you're required to get six to eight treatments with six weeks in between each session to allow for each follicle to be targeted in the right stage of its growth cycle. The sessions themselves take five to 10 minutes of actual laser zapping. So, if you thought it was a one-and-done scenario like I did, you're sorely mistaken because you'll be getting treatments for up to eight months. Keep in mind that any direct sun exposure that occurs on the area being treated will mean you have to wait two weeks to ensure the laser doesn't cause further damage.

Is It Worth It?

Depending on what your expectations are, laser hair removal might fall on either side of the fence when it comes to whether it's worth it. As someone with coarse hair that is more prone to ingrown hairs, I developed sensitive, blemished underarm skin because of constant abrasion from shaving and exfoliating, so the break I got from my normal grooming routine was more than worth it, sore underarms and all.Read more at:www.queenieau.com | bridesmaid dresses australia

  

Next year's Met Gala theme has officially been confirmed: The title of the Costume Institute's much-anticipated spring exhibition is "Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination."

The exhibition will feature ecclesiastical garb borrowed from the Vatican, religious art from the Met's own collection and 150 designer garments that pay aesthetic homage to Catholicism. Rather than being contained in one gallery, the exhibition will be spread over three locations: the Met's Costume Center, its medieval galleries and further uptown at the Met Cloisters. According to The New York Times, the exhibition will be the Costume Institute's largest exhibition to date; depending on how it's executed, it may also be the most polarizing.

"We know it could be controversial for right wing or conservative Catholics and for liberal Catholics," curator Andrew Bolton told the Times.

But president and chief executive of the Met Daniel H. Weiss noted that he has "confidence that the exhibition will inspire understanding, creativity and, along the way, constructive dialogue, which is precisely a museum's role in our civil society."

However provocative or not the exhibition turns out to be, it could hardly be more so than the history of fashion's relationship with the Catholic church. From Dolce & Gabbana sending religious imagery down the runway to pop stars like Lady Gaga and Madonna using clothing to set themselves up as new spiritual icons, fashion has long borrowed heavily from the church's rich visual history.

And the fact that Bolton consulted local Catholic leadership in New York, not to mention partnered with the Vatican for parts of the exhibition, may help ease tensions felt by the faithful.

"The Roman Catholic Church has been producing and promoting beautiful works of art for centuries," director of the Holy See press office Greg Burke told the Times. "Most people have experienced that through religious paintings and architecture. This is another way of sharing some of that beauty that rarely gets seen."

Only time will tell whether the exhibition will be fully embraced by both the fashion world and the Catholic church alike. Either way, the First Monday in May is sure to make as big a splash as ever. The gala will be co-hosted by Rihanna, Donatella Versace(whose label is co-sponsoring the show) and Amal Clooney. They will be joined by the Patron Saint of the Met Gala, Anna Wintour, and a small handful of museum trustees and sponsors.Read more at:QueenieAu | cheap bridesmaid dresses
