Amber Rose opted for the number 1 and so it seems so did the whole world (ok slight exaggeration, but from none to more than five girls sporting this style you have to say AR has started a trend) Solange Knowles apparently ‘copied’ her and she was slated for her nappy head piece.
Consider this class of African children and you will notice the majortity if not all the girls, have number 1s but I don’t remember people going to the hairdressers and asking for clippers instead of No-Lye relaxers, is the power of celeb truly that overwhelming?
Is it because Amber Rose depicts what the media think is beautiful this trend has been given kudos, because I seldom heard if any, talk about Solange’s hair.
The Number 1 a plenty
Additionally Alicia and Beyonce have been seen sporting ‘traditional’ African attire in their new video for ‘Put it in a Love Song’.

And guess what everybody will now be saying how fly they look and they want some, erm who remembers the sneers or the embarrassment one would get when your mum was trumping around in head to toe Kente. Don’t get me wrong I love it when Africa is put on the map, its just amazing to see how far we have come.
So much so that Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs s/s10 collections have created a flux in high street African prints. The best collection I have seen is from ASOS who will be launching an ASOS Africa collection and definitely this will bring African attire to the mainstream, yet Sika clothing have been producing what ASOS are only NOW going to start producing for awhile now. Is it simply a case of poor PR, the need for big brand backing or simply when something becomes fashionable, everybody deems it acceptable?
I know I have raised a lot of points within here, but please give me your thoughts fashionistas, xoxo.
