What’s more luxurious than a fluffy robe paired with

high-voltage jewellery? Think Rita Ora at the MTV
EMAs, or LootLove during our cover shoot. This year,
we’ve seen pyjama dressing and even duvet coats. And,
if you pay close attention to the Spring 2018 collections,
you’ll notice that boudoir dressing has evolved.
On the runway, Emilio Pucci stood out in their
fun approach to bathrobe and beach towel styling.
Alexander Wang featured a white fur bathrobe styled
over knee-length shorts and a bra. Meanwhile, we saw

around Donatella Versace’s models’ heads. The aesthetic

of a floor-skimming robe was applied to a mood: the sun-

kissed chill of the good life. It would seem that bathrobes
are the new coats.
While this is not the momost practical trend for every
woman to wear outside the comfort of her home, this
could be summer’s most comfortable micro-trend. The
appeal of a bathrobe-and-towel-headwrap combo is that

aside, I can’t help but wonder if we aren’t simply getting
tired of wearing real clothes. Visualise this: you sleep in
your pyjamas, then throw on a robe in the morning and
hit the streets in a no-make-up make-up look and bedhead
hair. Maybe toothpaste clutch bags are next.
I love a boudoir moment and there’s evidence of
me wearing an actual nightgown out on the town – it
passed as a kimono. Also, while the fluffy spa-like gown

MAKI OH
DAY 1
With 14 designers on the roster,
two collections earn noteworthy
status today, Style Temple and
Nkwo. Simple clean lines, mixing
neutral tones with soft pink tulles
and a lot of white, are one way of
showcasing a new take on African
fashion. That’s the message from
Style Temple, highlighting that just
because it’s African, doesn’t mean it
requires bold colours. On the other
end of the spectrum, playing with
deconstructed denim in below-the-
knee dresses, and paired with simple
white shirts, is the look at Nkwo.
DAY 2
For that luxe appeal we all love, pick
DNA by Iconic Invanity for its hand-
beaded pieces mixed with lace. But the
winning collection on day two belongs
to Grey, in the hands of talented duo
Joke Ladoja and Obi Obioha, and
their refreshing mix of neon and bold
colours for dresses, and transparent
trench coats interpreted in a modern
and cool way.

all celebrated individuality with peach

Suiting an array of skin tones, these

treatments to keep hair healthy. Before
heading to your hair guru, it doesn’t hurt
to know that hair gets stripped of all
