Lagos - Nollywood actress Foluke Daramola on Thursday
said people should stop the criticisms of celebrities who repeat
outfit, ``as there is no fashion law that forbids outfit to be
shown off in public more than once.''
She said in Lagos that ``I recycle my outfits once
in a
while; especially the ones I am comfortable with.
``I like the outfits that I wear, so I don’t mind repeating
them once in a while. In fact, I have a pair of sandals that
I particularly like; they match with most things. And, why
not?”
``Why should celebrities not be able to repeat or wear
stuff they like?.
``Why is it that when I wear my favourite outfit twice, it’s
circled, zoomed in and runs with an unkind caption like
‘fashion offender' or `she cannot afford it';
what bullshit.
``I can afford it, but maybe this is my favourite pair of
jeans and I want to wear it three times. It’s cool to repeat
outfits and I am going to do it.
``I repeat my outfits all the time. I hate the fact that
people believe that singers and actresses should not
repeat clothes.
``As a woman who loves fashion, there are certain things
in my closet that I can’t live without and I wear them
over again and again because they make me feel a
certain way.
``I just don’t view fashion in a disposable way.''
Daramola is a Nigerian Yoruba actress and producer, also
founder of an NGO that is against rape and abuse against
women called Passion Against Rape and Abuse in Africa.
