If you can’t be elegant, at least be extravagant, many a rich woman would say but Reni Folawiyo, would have none of that. She would rather be extravagant and stylish in one breath.
Interestingly, some women are like sapphire, they glow as the brilliant blue gem thus colouring the world with their craft. Some are sassy as teens and cute as amber studs. Some are like coral clasps-pretty yet disposable. But wait a minute; beneath the glamour, has she any substance? You are wont to wonder. Yes, amidst the glitter, Reni is an emerald cut.
Whatever you think of her, there is something inspiring about the wife of a rich guy. Reni, the beautiful wife of multibillionaire businessman and scion of the illustrious Folawiyo family, Tunde Folawiyo, who owns Alara Concept Store, stepped out in eleven million naira (11m) Gucci Velvet -trimmed embellished tiered silk-chiffon gown. The dress which she wore recently in the company of her husband, Tunde, was a $26,000, (N11M that was the dollar rate then).
Hitherto a full-time housewife, but with all the appurtenances of wealth at her beck and call, Reni – a trained interior decorator – open the fashion house, Alara. We don’t begrudge her. She has weathered the storm with Tunde from the days of nothing and now that there is so much, why should she not enjoy herself ? If she were a cassowary on the plains of Timbuktu, Reni would flex her wattles like she is the last of the Casuarius breed in the world. Her beauty is like a tightened bow, the type that nobleness makes beautiful as a fire in time of extreme chill. Forget her beauty, being high and refulgent and most affectionate come too easy for the ravishing woman.
