KÍLẸ̀ŃTÀR Lagos Fashion Week feature by Moda Operandi
Kilentar keeps featuring yt women in their stunning dresses (mind you: nigerian designer) and not to be a hater i get marketing and exposure but the dresses look less good on them than the actual african models.
I cant really explain it well but the dresses look best on a model with dark skin
I feel the same abt Hanifa and some others 🥲
This is not me saying yt women should not spend their coin on african designer fashion or that the designers shouldnt feature non-african patrons on their page!!!!
But idk man damn it looks less-good. Like it doesnt reach its full potential
Maybe i am just a hater and i dont like that those skinny rich yt women can just buy those dresses without batting an eye😅 if that's the case i apologize yall should be able to buy and wear whatever your money can afford🙏🏾
But yeah dang?
