Bloggin' Nomads is the official blog of the international brand for the modern nomad, Casa di Culture.
Casa di Culture represents a segment of society that considers the world a meeting place, music a language and culture a religion. This blog is the voice of that movement.
It seems like 2010 is the year of Fashion Weeks. Every year more and more Fashion Weeks pop up with varying themes from Urban, to Eco and Full-Figure Fashions. This is great as more people can feel included in high-fashion and more designers are given a stage to show their creations.
One great new addition is the African Fashion Weekend in Dublin, Ireland. This two-day fashion show was held from April 2nd until April 4th. The African Fashion Weekend in Dublin is a great way to give more exposure to African designers in the International community and “aims to showcase Africa’s rich talents and evolving cultures that influence our being in the global community”.
The Mr. World competition does not get as much attention as the Miss World competition does, but its strong international impact is worth mentioning. From the location, to the contestants and the organization of the competition, the event is more a celebration of countries and cultures than a traditional pageant. This year the Mr. World competition was held in Incheon, South Korea, not far from the capital. The decision to hold the competition there was a strategic one as Incheon is trying to increase its visibility to the international community as a tourist destination where ancient culture and modernity co-exists.
The contestants consisted of 74 men from 74 different countries. For a period of 15 days, they competed in various competitions on sports, cooking and fashion. The men claim that the competition has not only allowed them to travel and learn more about Korean culture but it has also given them the opportunity to form bonds with men from around the world, friendships that they believe will last. Even though part of the judging is based on looks, the men are more than just their appearance as most of them are accomplished athletes, scholars and TV personalities.
The winner this year for the title of Most Desirable Man in the World 2010 was Kamal Ibrahim of Ireland followed by Josef Karas of the Czech Republic and then Kenneth Okolie of Nigeria.
Below are a few videos of some of the contestants. For more information and videos, go to the official Mr. World Website.
