Editor’s Letter<br />
I am pretty sure the movie ‘Cold feet’ would<br />
be a good one to watch. With the compelling cast<br />
of talented actors, I do not expect anything less.<br />
I am most impressed with Nollywood these daysa<br />
far cry from the days of weak storylines and<br />
ridiculous acting. Nollywood today can stand its<br />
ground, side by side, Bollywood and the Mexican<br />
movie industry. Notice, I didn’t dare mention<br />
Hollywood, because that is the holy grail of<br />
exceptional movies, storyline, acting, editing and<br />
the world of make-believe; so, let’s not go there.<br />
However, kudos to the 20billion naira Nollywood<br />
industry.<br />
The success of Nollywood directly impacts<br />
fashion, which brings me to the vexing issue of<br />
the government’s lack of interest in the fashion<br />
industry. With the advancement in Nollywood, the<br />
fashion industry feeds it, with its creative output,<br />
and the only way to harness the immense<br />
potential of the entertainment industry as a<br />
whole is if structures are in place to ensure<br />
maximum growth.<br />
Considering the Immensely successful hosting<br />
of the Arise Fashion Week, and as we look<br />
forward to the remaining three, wouldn’t it be<br />
great if we had a fashion council or commission<br />
to project the business of fashion to the local<br />
and international market?<br />
I have been calling for a fashion council, just<br />
as the Diaspora Council has been established to<br />
cater for diasporas, a fashion council is needed<br />
to create more job and promote the highly<br />
sophisticated Nigeria fashion industry. Let’s hope<br />
that just as Nigerians abroad have their<br />
commission, fashion would one day get its own<br />
body.<br />
On our cover, we have the lead<br />
actors of the movie’Cold Feet’<br />
they share their moments, and<br />
on fashion, YEMISI SULEIMAN<br />
shows how to transition two<br />
trends: Stripes from day to<br />
night and the best way to rock<br />
the pleat.<br />
Have a great week!<br />
