Asooke is a heavy fabric worn chiefly by the Yoruba ethnic group. Asooke comes in many colours, patterns and even with embellishments. This post shows Asooke in vibrant colours and appreciates the skill that produced these perfectly tied gele and makeup looks.
It is summer after all in many parts of the world- the season of colour.
Here are 25 perfectly tied gele looks in colours we love:
Gele or Head-tie is the centrepiece of a traditional bride’s look. Perfectly tied Gele and a cohesive makeup look make a bride look stunning. Tying gele requires skill; it is now a specialty of makeup artists. It is undeniable the precision it takes to produce several layers of perfectly aligned or overlapping pleats; and the flair to tie a distinctly symmetrical fan gele.
