BOLD ELEGANCE RULES THE GREEN CARPET @ THE FUTURE AWARDS 2011

By TobyPaul
It was the 6th edition of The Future Awards which held @ the prestigious Land Mark Village, Oniru Estate, Victoria Island- Lagos .


It was a night to be remembered as many youths and dignitaries stepped out in their numbers to appreciate the efforts of those upcoming Nigerians in their various fields of endeavor. As always their theme of ASPIRE , STRIVE & ACHIEVE was capped with the theme - I AM NIGERIA this year .


As with every award ceremony, the red carpet ( and in this case it was GREEN ) attracts much attention. Trust celebs and non celebs alike , they pushed the envelope in their colourful garbs as they set their style for the KILL.


One thing is for sure, the Buy Nigeria , Wear Nigeria theme has seriously caught on as most fashionistas have shelved the foreign labels to speak in their fashion accessories instead .


Most of the labels were much from the new skool than of the old, with some to Watch out for !!!!Some of the labels that lit up the Green carpet were- Bridget Awosika, Moofa ,Vonne, House Of Nwocha , Zebra, Akpos Okudu , Mai..... to mention a few.


Here are a few of those that nailed the look that Gre- evening

FASHION MISCONCEPTIONS ET AL........

Ready to wear clothing is ready to wear

A perfect fit off the rack is almost impossible to find. Be assured most garments need altering. Most frequent alterations needed: sleeve length, trouser length and width. Great tailoring is the single most critical factor to consider when purchasing your clothing.





To look your best you must be thin
High fashion models are the rarest of body types. We live in a culture that tells is that thinness is the ideal body type for the stylish man or woman. Your personal best look is you wearing clothing that fits you and suits your body type.

You must wear the new looks of the season
Don’t become a prisoner of fashion. Wear what looks good on you and add a touch of what is in fashion. Consider updating your accessories or selecting timeless pieces of high quality. The only time it hurts to buy good quality is when you write the check or pay cash and your once bulky wallet suddenly becomes a shadow of its former self..
Every garment has color, quality and style. Purchase fewer items of high quality with an element of timlessness in colors that are flattering to you.
Wearing an eye-catching item brings at least 30 compliments!

A man’s signature is a great tie.

Even in our dress down casual world, I recommend dressing up. Look and act the part of a leader. This is job proofing at it’s best.

P.S. A woman truly appreciates a well dressed man.

REMEMBER
Make a statement, a positive and memorable statement. Sloppy, wrinkled clothing: delete, delete. Don’t diminish your personal signature of greatness. Set the standard of excellence. Shine as you raise the bar. Anticipate more compliments and the best answer to a compliment is “thank you, thank you very much.”

Get up, dress up and stand up and stand out. You are the message.

FUTURE AWARDS 2011:EKU EDEWOR GOT IT WRONG THIS TIME

[caption id="attachment_3326" align="alignleft" width="261" caption="Eku Edewor"][/caption]

By Folake Alu/Gistmaster.com

For months now, Eku Edewor, the Studio 53 extra presenter on MNET has been dazzling us on the red carpets and she has been getting all the attention. We mean, the type of attention any fashionista or a trendsetter can get anywhere. This January, Gistmaster.com also crowned her the queen of the red carpet shows because of her role and also the fact that no 'WORTHY' red carpet is complete without the stunning Eku showing off her well endowed beauty and dress sense in the last one year.

[caption id="attachment_3327" align="alignleft" width="216" caption="Presenter, Eku Edewor"][/caption]

But this time, she got it all wrong as she appeared on the green carpet of the 2011 edition of Future Awards in Lagos Nigeria.Eku who was wearing a 'boobs' popping dress was totally mis-represented the purpose of the night. It is not a night club or a show designed to show off whats underneath!- Some secondary school school pupils who were there when she walked on the red carpet opened their mouth in shock and laughed off the scenerio.We bet they have not seen such a thing face to face.

You are still the best girl, but this time..NO-NO!!!

The Future Awards took place on Sunday 30 January 2010 at the Landmark Centre, Victoria Island.It is a celebration of the Nigerian youth. According to Redstrat, the organizers of the award, it is a grand reception for the brightest and the best.

Awards categories include best use of technology, Best use of advocacy, creative professional of the year and so on.

The organizers of Future Awards have been living up to expectations. Today, it is the biggest youth award in the country.
