Yo!!!!! We are here again; isn’t that great?? First of all I want to wish y’all a happy new month and officially welcome you to the glorious month of September (my month).

I am entering the last quarter of this year in style with my stripe kimono. The kimono is no longer just a Japanese traditional wear as it was formally known for. Creative fashion designers and stylists around the world have explored and re-invented it with dashing styles since it boomed to the limelight in 2016 and it’s been showcased on top red carpet events and runways all over the world since then.

     Monochromic stripe garments are considered outstanding and I find this piece quite bold not just because of the material used but because of the design for men even as kimonos are being considered feminine in this part of the world #naijaforlife.

This kimono is a custom made piece designed by HODD which I happen to be the creative director. It’s an armless fitted kimono with double slits by its sides and it’s accompanied with a short. The outfit is complimented with a “knotable” belt and this look is styled in a simple “not too casual” way. 

    I would love to know your thoughts about this look and you can share them by using the comment bar below and you can also share too with your friend.

            Inspired by the dryness and harsh winds of the harmattan season, House of Diamond Designs presents its debut collection, Douceur rose.
       The collection boasts of soft hues of pink, black and white. With conservative cuts, Douceur rose which is French for Pink mildness, aims to invoke the softer part of fashion lovers across the globe. The collection is inspired by the harmattan season, cold mornings, hot afternoons and chilly nights don't seem like periods where one can get away with the freedom of what to wear which fashion provides us in normal weather conditions. Such reason is why House of Diamond Designs makes use of light but efficient fabrics such as soft polyester and cotton, to achieve unique pieces which can be worm not only during the harmattan season, but year round.
