		<description><![CDATA[Ethiopian Model/Actor/Dancer/Wardrobe Stylist, Estifanos Berta-Samuel shares his unique sense of style. 

 
Favourite fashion designers
Christiane King from the Ivory Coast; Ozwald Boateng from Ghana/UK,  Machere of Stoned Cherry in SA, Angela Dean from Los Angeles, CA,  Mantsho by Palesa Mokubung SA, Gucci, Salvatore Ferragamo, Michael Kors  U.S.A, and  Issey Miyaki of Tokyo, Japan
My trendiest fashion accessories of the moment
My fedora, skinny neck tie, bow tie, and bracelets
Suits or African wear?
I love both suits and African wear my sense of fashion is very much like a chameleon I love changing it up!
Boxer shorts or briefs?
I like to feel free and have room to move. I save the briefs for the runway and print ads.
Cufflinks or button?
I prefer cufflinks if it’s an upscale look and that really helps to  make a boring suit come to life for me and I like that look of wearing  gems/stones.
Tie or no tie?
I can go either way with ties or not just depends on what look I want to achieve.
Leather or metallic watch?
I love both types of watches I think leather on a watch tends to look  a little more leisurely and the metallic one always make the look more  upscale for me.
Shoes or sandals?
I am a shoe whore so for me its shoes &#38; sandals in every colour style from any country as long as it catches my eye!
Spray deodorant or roll-on?
I prefer spray deodorants because they don’t soil clothes, and the designers and stylists are happy.
 Shaving machine or shaving stick?
Shaving machine by far is the best, being an African most razors rip  my skin apart and cause me to have ingrown hairs, blemishes, and razor  bumps which are a not a good look for my career!
Clean cut or braids?
I like braids, clean cut looks and also big hair. I had an afro some  time ago but my agents thought I was too readily identifiable as an  Ethiopian. They had me cut it and now I look “International”
Beer or vodka?
Don’t like the taste of beers at all and they are completely bad for  me because of the yeast. Vodka is always a nice choice but my drink in  Jonny Walker Black Label.
Skinny jeans or baggy jeans?
I don’t wear either: while I like them I’m too “curvy” and my butt is  too big for skinny jeans so I can’t wear them unless I want “a certain  type of attention” and that ain’t cool. Baggy has never been my taste  but I do like to feel comfy in my jeans so they can’t hug me.
Tucked in or sagging?
Tucked in works if its business or pleasure time out depending on how  I feel. Never sagging for me just because I had Black Americans tell me  the true meaning behind wearing them that way and again that ain’t  cool.
Cocoa Butter or Vaseline
I prefer cocoa butter much more it lifts dark spots and is super  emollient but rather pure [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Canada-based Nigerian model, Fela Fagbure is certainly more than just   another promising model from Africa. With an astute sense of   entrepreneurship, Fela is set to take the world of fashion and glamour   by storm. 
Fela started modeling at the age of 15-16, at a time when the   industry was still growing. However, driven by his love for everything   art/photography, he stayed in it and blossomed to a stage where he can   compete with any international male model.
He is so far show strength in the areas of Glamour modeling, Fashion   editorial modeling, Fashion catalog modeling, Fashion bathing suit   modeling, Fashion fitness modeling, Fashion fit modeling, Commercial   lifestyle modeling and Commercial corporate modeling; working with   amazing photographers for magazines shoots and adverts.
According to Fela, who is currently studying Arts and Design at the   University of Alberta, Edmonton, he is inspired a lot by Tyson Beckford,   to do what he does. But says his business sense is inspired by his   mother. “She’s a successful business guru for over 25 years now. She   inspires and motivates me as well”.  Perhaps it is this driving force   that has seen him team up with his twin brother, Fola to create the   vintage Alex Folzi brand. Visit Website
I caught up with Fela to find out more about the business side to   him, his journey in the world of fashion, his future plans and   aspirations.
What else do you do aside modeling?
I consider my self as a young entrepreneur, I own a clothing line   with my twin brother called Alex Folzi and in the nearest feature we   would be opening more businesses both locally and internationally.
What is the inspiration behind Alex Folzi?
Alex Folzi is an elegant brand inspired by vintage looks, and the   iconic design styles of the army, air force, navy, sailors and in   general the Northern American/European couture. It was established 2010.   Our styles allow for the uniqueness  of individuals who seek to  express themselves through fashion.  We do  all sort of designs, ranging  from shoes, luggage, accessories and  clothes. Our summer collection of  the vintage luggage consisting of  brief cases and trunks comes out  June 30th. Due to some reasons, the  other products have been delayed  till further notice.
Do you have any other ambitions, say acting?
I would love to go into producing and directing sometime soon, be it   music or film, I released a short video few months back and I am   currently working on more now.
What was the title of the  short video and what  was it about?
The troubled past of the Nigerian rebel.  It was about how a   young Nigerian male that was having difficulties with his past over the [...]]]></description>
