My New Long Wax Skirt

Hello fam,

I am a fan of clothes and fashion but moreover these past few years with the Wax. This is a fabric I like very much.

Named Pagne in french, Wax is our traditional African print. In basic Africa, the fabric is inked and has been dressing us for decades. In Europe, less often worn in public view, we can see and discover a multitude of outfits often at ceremonies like weddings, baptisms and anniversaries.

Each with his piece of fabric, goes to the tailor or couturier to be drawn a set. One can say that the African people are quite artistic and fashion oriented.

Here is a small example with my Mom, my cousin Espoir and me at the Women's Day when I were in Congo. In Africa, in the majority of countries, women are all dressed in local clothes. In each country, a unique kind of cloth is defined for this special day. It's quite original and nice.

As you can see, we took and used the same fabric but we made each of our models as we wanted. I remember my model that I had drawn in my diary, do you want to see it hihihi?

Well I admit, it looks more like a big fish than a dress lol but I signed Chance-Chanel-Lagerfeld 😂

For congolese people, one big Dutch brand have made his reputation. Vlisco here are their website.

Yesterday, I went to the town and I saw one wonderful skirt that I tried. It was just my size and I bought it, I am just happy.

I talk about it on the Discord room of the Rally 500 room from @theterminal. I realize that sometimes in life, little things can make you happy or bring you a joy. This is just wonderful.

I love life

Here is my wonderful skirt. Luckily, this afternoon, I have met my photographer friend and we made a little shooting while walking and chilling.

Later we saw one man playing the battery - Djembé and we asked him if it was possible to take a picture of me dancing in the background. He accepted, so cool.

I hope you will like the pictures. I often invite my photographer friend to join our wonderful platform Hive because he make some beautiful pictures 😊

In fact , this skirt belongs to a set that I will reveal to you when I will do my hair this weekend. It's very original and lovely.

At home, I already have a small collection of Wax clothes in my closet. I'm a big fan. I have pants, dresses, skirts and even a tailored jacket. I'm glad.

As you can see, Africant prints are very colorful and various. You can have loose-fitting clothes as well as made-to-measure.

I hope that with my post you'll have learned a bit more about our African culture. Did I made you want to wear Wax one day as well?

Always with love and hugs 💋

All pictures have been taken with my photographer friend phone.
