How selfless are you? Do you ever wonder while you are satisfying your needs and wants, it shouldn’t be at the expense of your immediate environment and the future generations? It is important that you put into consideration the impact of your decisions, actions and inactions on others and the environment. Sustainability propagates the ability to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It involves the relationship between people and the planet, and the idea that people are part of the planet and depend on its healthy systems for survival.
If you want to continue enjoying a beautiful world adorned with all the natural features, everything you engage in, from food to fashion, to housing, to work and indeed, everything under the planet should be based on the sustainability principle that everything needed for survival and well-being depends on the natural environment. To pursue sustainability, always create and maintain conditions that allow humans and nature to exist in harmony.
All over the world, sustainability has become an important issue as the planet earth is rapidly losing too many of its natural features resulting in many disasters across the world. Think not only about you today, but about your children, your possible grandchildren and even unknown generations. Will these future generations have a better environment to live in? This should be of critical concern to you.
Now, let’s focus on sustainable fashion. Did you know that the fashion world creates at least 92 million tonnes of waste annually which has adverse effects on the environment? Specifically, a media report says in 2023, the fashion industry produced 97 million tons of waste, including 18 million tons of leftover textiles, 2.5 million tons of chemical waste, and 3 million tons of packaging materials. Do you want to continue to contribute to this monumental degradation of planet earth? If your answer is in the negative, then welcome to the world of Linen collection by Keonaraphael.

The brand, Koenaraphael birthed in 2015 is a creation of three sisters who studied in different fields but their love and passion for the fashion world pulled them together. All creative designers of the brand in their respective right, Christabell Ifietekhai is a graduate of Economics and Development Studies, Emike Mba studied Computer Science while Evangeline Anthony read Banking and Finance. In the past years, these trio have collaboratively under the Keonaraphael brand released stunning collections including, The Rebirth which celebrated African heritage; Love and Whatnot, red colour pieces celebration of love and the Dream girl collection which empowers the womenfolk to dream big with their fashion style.
The Linen collection pieces are simply timeless. The first design in the collection is a two-piece long, sleeky pant and a long top stretching to the knee cap. Super attractive for any kind of Nigerian event from indoors to outdoors given the woman a befitting bossy appearance in rich, cultural, African look and feel. In this dress, you are the “chairman” of the occasion as it is often said in local Nigerian parlance. The design empowers the woman to take charge while radiating beauty and sophisticated elegance. Interestingly, the reservations for this dress are addressed in the next piece.
The second piece in this collection is virtually the same as the first but with a slight twist that makes it optional and possible for the discerning woman. While the first piece has a sleek long pant, this piece has a baggy long pant, a stylish vintage trend that is gradually making its way back into modern day fashion. Also, in this piece, the dress is only as long as the waistline while in the first piece, it stretched down to the knee. The other notable difference between both dresses is that the first piece has a collar while this is collarless Both pieces can be worn alternatively as deemed fit and perfect for all kinds of events. For both dresses which originally are in all white and all black colours respectively, Keonaraphael should explore the options of several colours of the pieces.
The third piece is specially designed for date nights, picnics, cocktails and social events. In this piece, the woman looks ready to be a youngster, garnering all the freedom to be free and explore in a comfy, sleeveless short dress. The dress has a mini opened portion by the side with tweaked free hanging loops giving it that romantic feel without exposing too much skin. Just one improvement on this lovely dress would be a longer length beyond the knee cap to allow for the dress to be worn outside a date or relationship circus.
It is worth acknowledging that Keonaraphael with its Linen collection is contributing to protecting and saving planet earth.
