A REVIEW ON FASHION AND SOCIAL RELATION
Tosin Clegg
Have you ever fallen in love at first sight? In this case, it has nothing to do with whom the person is but with the clothing on their body. Fashion has a way of making social relations a bliss when it’s done rightly. Fashion can create opinions, introduce your vibe as a person, and either attract others’ love to you or make you feel segregated.
The way people adorn themselves, makes you want to fraternize with them because you like what you see. Goodfashion has a pleasing effect, it’s like a magnet. It attracts people to you, and it gives them a good opinion about you that makes them want to be a part of your world.
On sight, a fashion outfit can silently maul your reputationor groom it. You could get a job just because your potential boss likes the way you dress. In an interview, you could garner more points just by how you look. You could walk into a room and everyone wants to listen to you just because of how you look. Also, some people could be intimidated by you, just because of the way you look.
You can quote this anywhere, a good blend of fashion is a sigh of sanity; people look at you and see someone who is intelligent and making sense.
Fashion doesn’t only communicate, it breeds curiosity in people about the kind of person you are and your social stratum. You could be attending an event where you know absolutely nobody, you scan through the crowd with the hope of finding someone to talk to, and you are immediately taken by someone who dresses in a way that catches your fancy. The next thing you would want to do is to approach and perhaps start a conversation.
It’s the power of fashion to create and garnish social relations. Several relationships have been created because some people were thoughtful enough to be fashionably right.

Let’s jump into the conversation as well, shall we?
This is an elegantly styled garment, with features that pronounce the beauty of a strong and stylish woman. The dress is a well-crafted gown and the designer’s intuition to make it armless is brilliant. It has a large collar that stretches to the shoulders and it showcases a revealing cleavage, which is partially covered by a black material that seems to be attached to the dress from within. The upper part of the chest area is left for a showcase, which is beautiful because it allows you to flaunt some skinattractively.
A slant set of horizontal beautiful pleats of the same material as the dress is attached to it from the waist at one end, to the thigh at the other end. There is a second layer of beautifully designed pleats as the first, around the thigh area that extends vertically to the knee. The pleats act like decorations; they bring a vibe of modern fashion expressions from the dress, making it feel augmented from just being an ordinary dress, to a dress still embossed in simplicity, but with a classy style that is beyond the ordinary.
It is a one-colour dress if we are to overlook the black material at the cleavage area. The blue colour of the dress gives the material a jeans-like outlook and makes it resonate more with the younger folks. But it is also a dress that will catch the attention of the older folk. It is a dress that should command the market, because its features, material choice, and style choice make it straddle different generations, hence it should compel market demand.
You will agree that this outfit has been carefully crafted with several occasions in mind. It is an outfit that is well suited for a serious engagement like having a meeting with an investor or less serious but formal settings like an office dinner party, cocktail parties, and fashion runway shows.
There are no pleats behind, but it has a tie that not only gives the dress a beautiful outlook from behind but also seems to be used to tighten the dress for better fitness at the midriff, which could accentuate the curves at the thigh area. It has a black zip running vertically down along the back; from the collar area to the waist area.
This is a garment that pronounces a feminine beauty and can resonate with different generations. It is an outfit crafted for the serious businesswoman who wants to walk into a board room and take ownership of it; accentuating the feeling of power and confidence. It is a dress for women who want to be a visual representation of who they are.
This very piece of the Unique Moniuq 2021 collection is very thoughtful and beautiful.
This is another wonderful piece of fashion from the Unique Moniuq Collection 2021. It is a dress with a bold and attractive silhouette. A glance at this garment gives you the feeling of morality in the frames of style.
The dress is a blouse and a creatively crafted skirt. The blouse seems to be made of a Chiffon material. It is a thoughtfully designed blouse, but it will require you to wear something else under, due to its revealing nature. The neck area extends into a cleavage that is well tailored up in a tie at the centre of the chest area, where the cleavage meets and it sure puts the upper part of the chest on display.
The garment has a loose-fit long sleeve that seems to narrow a little around the wrist, making it fit a bit more on the wrist. The blouse has a bold shade of brown as a dominant hue and a whitish grey as the accent colour.
The skirt is of a plain brown only, which follows well with the blouse in terms of hue. It has a drape with layers of pleats on the side, which gives the skirt a brilliant look; the addition of the drapes takes it from ordinary to something of style and ingenuity; something that could catch the eyes of a fashion lover.
The back of the blouse is plain without frills, pleats, or folds. The skirt is a different story; it drapes with layered pleats, flows behind and cuts across the skirt, and flows inches above the knee. It has a zip line running halfway down the skirt from the waistline. This garment is theepitome of creativity and brilliance. The designer most likely had a combination of different kinds of people in mind when crafting this design.
An office lady could see herself in this design and at the same time, a social person could see herself in this design. The garment cuts across different needs of women when shopping for a dress, the common need being a dress that portrays confidence and at the same time still conveys social friendliness. A dress that commands respect and gives people a stylish opinion about you; making people see you have someone who pays attention to the details of fashion and someone who has good security of the bag – if you get what this means.
People love to associate with other people whom they feel have a good social status and who are mindful of quality and style, so don’t be surprised when you are wearing this outfit at a gathering and people approach you, not only to say high but also want to know you more – it’s the power of fashion, which is also the power of looking good. Just like they say, ‘looking good is good business’ and that’s because looking good is good for your business.
This dress could be worn to the office and an official meeting. It could be worn to any high-profile social function such as a product launch party, red carpet events,and fashion runway shows. It could also be worn to a religious gathering. This is the beauty of this outfit; it straddles the various needs of people.
Overall, the Unique Moniuq 2021 collection is by far a collection that will relate to and resonate with various kinds of people because it satisfies different kinds of needs in the fashion dimension. It’s like putting fashion solutions in one place – this is good for business.
