‘Use Headless Mannequins To Advertise Clothes, Cover Their Breast, Bottom Shapes, ‘— Kano Hisbah

The Islamic Police force in Kanu, known as Hisbah has announced regulation of mannequin use, ordering shops to use only headless mannequins to advertise clothing. This, it said, is because Islamic doctrines are against idolatry. "Islam frowns on idolatry," Haruna Ibn-Sina, the commander of the Sharia police said. BBC also quoted him as saying, "With the head-on, it looks like a human being." Ibn-Sina also wants the headless mannequins covered at all times because to show "the shape of the breast, the shape of the bottom, is contrary to the teachings of Sharia [Islamic law]". Also, some traders at Sabon Gari, a Christian-dominated part of Kano state, expressed their displeasure with the Hisbah's order. A shop owner, Chinedu Anya said displaying clothes on headless mannequi...

Fashion: Dress Like You by Lois Emmanuel

You are not truly free until you can be who you are without apologies. No truer words have ever been spoken. There are many ways by which we express ourselves and fashion happens to be one of the most because it is a visual medium. Let’s be honest, one of the first things a person sees when they look at you is what you wear, which is why it is so easy to judge a person by what they wear.

Dressing to express, on the other hand means wearing things that you like and feel comfortable in, no matter what anybody thinks. SOME REASONS WHY PEOPLE DRESS TO IM...
