Fashion Review: Michybeth – Fashion Beyond Clothing

Tosin Clegg

Today, fashion has evolved beyond just clothing and physical comfort. The evolution of fashion, beyond the covering of our body parts, is due to the natural appreciation of human needs. Initially, we needed clothes to cover our bodies for the comfort of not being nude in the presence of other people. But humans’ natural need to extol their crafts and make comparisons between them and others is the pioneer of the evolution in fashion.

This extolling factor has driven fashion creators to seek more ways to improve their designs in a bid to garner customers. This, in turn, has given fashion consumers the idea of the possibility of an endless fashion spectrum.

At the inception, different designers existing in various parts of the world crafted dresses according to their culture and traditions. This has made fashion become woven into the stories of the people. So, clothing became an act of storytelling beyond just the practice of covering your body.

However, contemporary fashion designers are taking advantage of the diverse stories of fashion and crafting fashion pieces to create new, resonating trends. Nigerian cloth makers are present-day dressmakers who seize the opportunity to blend global cultures to craft garments that are more internationally relatable. Michybeth fashion brand is one of Nigeria’s clothing companies that blends different garment cultures to create new pieces that other people from various parts of the world can relate to.

Michybeth fashion brand, founded in 2019, is a Nigerian clothing company that blends traditional craftsmanship with present-day designs. Every garment crafted showcases quality embroidery, hand-woven textiles, and innovative fabric control.

Michybeth fashion brand creates timeless dresses by bringing together traditional techniques with modern style and creative cuts. Moses Olasunkanmi Adebayo is the visionary, founder, and creative director of the Michybeth brand. He is an expert in fashion product appreciation and a great storyteller, and his commitment is deeply rooted in the continuity of the cultural market.

Moses Adebayo grew up within the boundaries of the Nigerian fashion industry, and his upbringing within his culture has shaped his approach to fashion and design. He receives inspiration from different influences, which allowed him to create a brand that relates on both a national and international level.

The 2021 Michybeth Collection is proof of the ingenuity of the Michybeth fashion brand. The pieces in the collection mirror the blend of tradition with contemporary styles. It shows the level of attention paid to the details of crafting dresses whose uniqueness and intelligent visual composition are a result of the combination of various cultures and traditions.

This collection caters to the feelings of women who diligently strive to be perceived in the aura of confidence, luxury, and a good command of their space. These dresses should grace your closet because they are well-suited for exclusive functions and shows, and they are the kind of outfits that breed a thousand beautiful questions from admirers.

This first design is a beautiful piece from the 2021 collection. It is an elegantly crafted dress which brings out the attractive features of a woman.

It is a two-piece dress. The top is a shoulder-off blouse that slants across the chest and hangs on the other shoulder. Its style satisfies the fashion cravings of women who love to show some skin.

The slant blouse is in layers, and it is embellished with a style that looks more like pleats. It has one major colour – a deep shade of blue – but a blend of varying colours in the right proportion would have done the blouse better. The pleats should have been in different dark shades of colours; blue and grey would have created a better match with the trousers.

The blouse has a hidden long sleeve on the side of the shoulder where it hangs. This style is unique as well as beautiful. The unusualness and attractiveness of the blouse will attract women to the dress because people love to be clad in a dress that feels new, a never-seen-before kind of dress and beautiful. However, to some women, the uneven slant of both sleeves could make them uncomfortable. Not everybody likes to show skin, especially for the plus-sized woman. Giving the sleeve a second look and attaching a more uniform sleeve would do justice to the design.

The trousers are extremely large from the waist downwards but even larger at the heels. It’s baggy but attractive. However, it may not resonate with most of the younger generations because the majority of them love dresses that fit and accentuate curves. It has a check design with beautiful lines that form the shapes of large boxes. The hues are in different shades of blue, white, and a light shade of brown. The combination of the colours and the styling gives the trousers a pretty and playful vibe.

The back view is equally beautiful. It is similar to the front view, but it has a zip that helps the wearer get in and out of the blouse easily.

This dress may not be acceptable at a religious gathering, but it will be sufficient at exclusive shows such as entertainment and fashion runways. It may not be appropriate for official meetings because it could send the wrong signals, but it may be right for official parties, depending on the organization.

The dress shows the daring confidence of a woman and how much she is comfortable in her skin. It is the kind of dress that will make the head swivel at social functions and will spark conversations with people at events. Women who enjoy talking about themselves will find this dress with much resonant.

In all, the dress is giving the right vibe that it’s supposed to provide. Regardless of the few recommendations given, the design is a fashion statement with major potential to dominate the market. For styling, it is advisable to keep things simple, as a lot is already going on with the design. The last thing you want to do is commit a fashion blunder by pairing an already busy blouse with even busier accessories. A simple necklace and stud earrings will do the trick.

This is another beautiful piece presented by the 2021 Michybeth’s Collections. It is unique and attractive, and it seems to be the kind of outfit that will resonate more with the younger generation.

It is a three-piece outfit; it has a shirt, an additional top that resembles a singlet, and a large pair of trousers. The shirt has a large collar that gives an official vibe, while the long sleeves are loosely fitted with buttons at the wrists. The shirt is plain white.

The singlet top hangs perfectly on the shoulders; it has a uniform flow that stops exactly at the waist. It is a plain blue colour.

The styling of the top – the blue singlet on the white shirt – may not find popularity with a mature audience because it gives an unserious, immature, or, better still, childish vibe. The sleeve length combined with the trouser length is not something that you would wear to a boardroom. For a mature audience, you want to keep it simple and classy.

The trousers are large, and their regular flow extends slightly larger at the heels. There are no dominant hues. The colours are in patches of different shades of blue, black, and white, and their combination blends beautifully.

The rear view of the dress is similar to the front view in terms of visual composition, except for the fact that there is a zip running along the material that enables the wearer to get in and out of the dress.

The white shirt beneath the blue material flows down below the waist. This dress will resonate with the younger generation who loves to stand out in the crowd. It brings out the swagger and confidence in a young woman. But the older folks may count themselves out. The visual combination of this garment is unusual and attractive. It has a styling that will make observers’ eyes linger and talk about the outfit.

At events, this dress will naturally make people gravitate towards the wearer, and it will spark conversations and make a lady in it seem to have a flattering sense of style.

However, it may not resonate in most office spaces, and it may not be right for some corporate parties or office meetings. Still, it will be appropriate for exclusive functions like entertainment and fashion runway shows. It may not be acceptable at some religious gatherings either, but it will suit high-profile parties and casual outings.

Generally, the styling of this dress is attractive, and people will fall in love with it. The Michybeth fashion brand knows just how to catch the younger and older generations with the right pieces of fashion.

This 2021collection is a collection of unique fashion pieces that transcend generations (notably the older age who wants to feel like a child), class and style. The collection seems to be made intentionally to capture the minds of those who love uniqueness in fashion.

Michybeth fashion brand has sustainability as its core principle, and it is dedicated to using eco-friendly practices at every stage of the production process. They make sure to reduce the environmental effects of their designs. This alone deserves a thumbs-up in their direction.

Moses Olasunkanmi Adebayo believes that fashion can flow beyond borders and create unity among people. Through Michybeth, he aims to dissolve the barriers and bring people from different backgrounds together through the mutual passion for style and clothing that tell stories.
