Fashion Review; The Timeless Tweaks 2024 Collection

Tosin Clegg

Trends come and go, yes, but only true fashion experts are bold enough to recycle an old trend into swaggy-looking attires that are desired by the market. Do you remember those days when halter neckwear was a big deal? Or when bootcut trousers were the talk of the town? If you didn’t have a halter neck – either as a top or a dress – or own a pair of bootcut jeans, you probably weren’t a fashion-forward person. Time went by, and those designs quickly became outdated.

However, who would have thought that some of these seemingly faded designs would grace customers with their presence and sweep them off their feet…again? The Michybeth fashion brand is one of those bold designers who reinvent the ‘old school’ trends in more appealing ways that captivate the masses.

Under the management of Moses Olasunkanmi Adebayo- the founder and creative director- Michybeth has been designing attires that fall under the category of ‘rags’ into riches since its establishment in 2019. The quality of designs rolled out by the brand captured the attention of fashion enthusiasts and quickly raked in lots of customers who could not get enough of its designs. Some of these happy customers would find it amusing to know that Michybeth has now released its 2024 collection of captivating designs – The Timeless Tweaks.

Very quickly, let us dive into examining the standout designs in the collection.  

The first attire is a pink sleeveless mini dress. Made with shiny satin fabric, it features a thick halter neck design. However, the professionalism of Michybeth’s design team creatively tweaked it in such an attractive way. The neck area holds up the pleated upper body part of the design in a way that the upper feminine feature of the wearer is pronounced. There is no doubt that the attention of passersby is fixated on you with this beautiful attire.

Besides, this feature is an expression of the confidence, fierceness and authority that contemporary African women embody. It is little wonder that the brand’s narrative is centred around an urban traveller, a fearless individual who embraces the unknown and engages in cultural dialogues through the powerful medium of clothing.

Furthermore, the dress is hemmed just above the belly to create a partitioning effect on the satin fabric. This separates the upper feature from the lower one and creates an illusion of a figure 8 in the wearer. The partition almost makes the dress look like a two-piece skirt and top, which is achieved with a piece of cloth that is tied to the left side of the wearer.

However, it’s only a dress with its lower part having a wrap-like design, a trend that is still in vogue. This is a creative blend of old designs with new ones. It feels like a breath of fresh air as it brings old designs back to life. Michybeth is indeed proving to be one of the bold designers who is changing the narrative within the African fashion industry.

Let us flip it to the back view of this beautiful piece. The pleated topmost part of the dress is a distinct feature that the back view shares with the front view. The front view features a wrap design that allows for the wearer’s free movement and also gives no need for the incorporation of the back slit. Also, the back of the dress has a long zip that runs from the neck area to the bottom of the dress. This makes it easy for customers to put it on and take it off.

This adorable garment is a comfortable, stunning piece that is suitable for any casual outing. The design is gorgeously curated, so one does not need to adorn it or style it to look good excessively. With a pair of heeled shoes or comfy sneakers and sunshades, you are good to go. Feel free to flaunt your dashing look with steeze and composure when you rock your Michybeth halter neck wrap dress.

This second attire also stands out in the newly released 2024 collection by the Michybeth fashion brand. The gorgeous two-piece design features a long-sleeved top that is perfectly tucked into full-length high-waist pant trousers. From its choice of colour to the seamless fabric blends, Michybeth has done an amazing job with this piece.

The purple long-sleeved top is made, again, with shiny satin material. This fabric is breathable and durable and is beginning to find its way back into the market in popular fashion. It reflects Michybeth’s core principle of sustainability, a value that Moses drilled into his team. The brand is said to employ eco-friendly practices at every stage of its production process. They ethically source their materials, which explains their use of organic materials like satin and cotton fabrics. Not only does this help the brand stay true to its value, but it also helps them to minimise the environmental impact of their designs.

The one-sided off-shoulder design of this top makes it highly feminine. The perfect show of skin accentuates the neck area of the wearer in a way that evokes confidence and comfort in their skin. Moses is known for his mastery in developing fashion products. He is also famous for using his deep commitment to sustainability and cultural exchange to tell stories through fashion. So, it’s not a surprise that his background influences his approach to fashion. His many cultural experiences inspire him, and this is undoubtedly reflected in his designs, enabling him to create a brand that people can relate to on both a personal and global level.

Not to get carried away, the top further incorporates a flap or cape at the topmost part of the dress, running around to the back. Although this design looks awesome, the sleeves could be better. Perhaps a different sleeve style might suit the design better, but it still looks ravishing. At the back of the top, the design incorporates a long zip for ease of wearing.

The lilac-coloured trouser blends perfectly with the purple top. It gives a more popping and livelier look to the entire outfit. The free palazzo-like design cut of the pants ensures customers that Michybeth cares about comfort. It confirms that Moses launched the brand as a platform to inspire freedom and flexibility among young creatives in the first place. Not only does this concept help to reflect the adventurous spirit of modern youths, but it also encourages women to explore and celebrate their identities through their fashion choices. This explains why each collection is a visual journey for Michybeth to tell stories that initiate conversations about heritage and self-expression.

Meanwhile, the pant trouser is packed with more features that are aimed at enticing the brand’s customers. The front view incorporates two layers of fake pocket covers or flaps neatly stitched to the lower band, slightly above both the wearer’s laps. It runs down from the waistband area to the lap, forming what looks like the edges of a creatively crafted suit. It has a shiny silver metal zipper at the front central part of the pants. This shows how impeccable the finishing touches of this design are – the brand deserves to be applauded. The style ethos of Michybeth is a harmonious blend of traditional craftsmanship, contemporary design and a mastery of impeccable finishes.

This 2024 collection of admirable pieces is an example of innovative fabric manipulations that highlight the artisanal skills of the brand’s design team. By fusing these old-school design approaches with the ‘new school’ ideas that entail innovative trending designs, modern silhouettes and creative cuts, Moses truly crafts garments that are both timeless and ahead of the curve. This uniqueness of style allows wearers to feel connected to their roots without compromising on style, trend, taste and modesty.

It is a recently established brand, certainly doing well with the quality of designs that it releases. Specifically, this design collection is lovely, and there is no reason why it shouldn’t flourish in the global market. As Moses believed, fashion has the extraordinary ability to transcend borders and foster unity among people. And its brand certainly demonstrates this. Michybeth is getting closer to achieving its aim of breaking down the fashion barrier and connecting people from different backgrounds through their shared passion for fashion.

With its designs, Michybeth calls on customers from far and near, urging them to partake in a global discourse about culture and identity. This reminds us that fashion is not just about clothing but also about the relationships and stories stitched into every piece.

So, did the attires in the Timeless Tweaks 2024 collection meet your design expectations? After all, we are all fashion lovers looking for the best clothes to maintain that high level of style.
