KIDS CAN BE INDIGENOUSLY STYLISH TOO
Nigeria is a great nation, rich in culture, tradition and spirit. You can easily see this in how we carry ourselves, our tenacity and resilience to win, in spite of these prevailing socio economic limitations. We are proud because of our great heritage. Our pride shows in how we talk, how we behave and how well we dress.
We take pride in looking good. over the years, we’ve fused western style influences with our indigenously made fabrics to produce top notch Afrocentric looks that sets us apart, in fashion forward ways. Even global brands like Stella McCartney, Dior, Etro, and a host of others, have incorporated our textiles and prints into numerous mainstream collections (whether that can be classified as culture appropriation or not, is another conversation). Our indigenous fabrics are unique because they tell stories of where we come from and who we are. They radiate our rich history and journey so far. Indigenous clothes can now incorporate western style motifs so there is a happy balance between what is trendy and what is organically ours.
