MANIA MAGAZINE:THE NEW NAME IN STYLE DEBUT

By Gistmaster.com

Dimeji Alara! Does that name sound stylish? Call him style-mania,you are not wrong. He is one of Nigeria's biggest names in the style industry. Working and making impact as a stylist many love to admire. He has an eviable track record in his career. Almost all the big names want him involved in their projects.

Dimeji just landed with a new magazine. He calls it-Mania!


MANIA

MANIA! This is the new name in fashion, beauty, music, books, movies, lifestyle and everything in between. Mania is everything you are crazy about, anything you are mad about and that one thing you can’t live without! It’s everything that tickles your fancy and keeps you coming back for more. If you are a sucker for fashion, beauty, music, books and all things artsy, then this new magazine about to hit the news stand is definitely for you!

Mania is more than a magazine; we choose to describe it as ‘a way of life’ because it encompasses almost every facet of human life. Mania captures stories of everyday people, the ever changing and growing world of fashion and beauty; the best of music, movies, food and all things art. Part of our aim is to be daring, relentless and unafraid to push the boundaries of conventional Nigerian and African society, but also to create a different perspective to fashion and lifestyle.

The minds behind this beautiful work of art have taken a different direction in the way they tell peoples stories (no alias, no anonymities), the cover will prove beyond doubt our unquestionable strength to be different and daring. With Mania’s entrance into the market, we are not saying ‘this is how it is done’ instead, we are saying, ‘it can be done differently; edgier, fiercer, more daring and a lot more fun’.

Our desire at Mania is to appeal to a diverse group of people and lessen the stereotype that fashion and lifestyle magazines are for a discerning few. At Mania, we want to tell stories that touch people’s lives; we strive to teach people, the tiny, yet many tricks of being stylish, beautiful without breaking bank. We want to share our love for the arts and make every reader, not just a casual reader, but a Mania fan; we want Mania to appeal to different kinds of people and different parts of them.

The launch which comes up on Sunday February 20th of this year is proudly sponsored by some of the biggest international and Nigerian brands. Mania is grateful for the support it is receiving from its headline sponsors like; Belvedere Vodka, the world’s first super premium and luxury vodka, décor and events planning support is provided by Victoria Green, media support by M-Net’s Studio 53 Extra and Photography from veteran and accomplished Photo studio, Kelechi Amadi-Obi Studios.
