CHANGE IN NIGERIAN FASHION 

                                                 

                                                     

 My love for fashion made me research on the evolution of fashion in Africa, Nigeria to be precise because I am Nigerian. The fashion industry in Nigeria is huge and this is just a fragment from the massive fashion styles in Nigeria. It is mostly about the evolution of a traditional piece in Nigeria called Iro and Buba for the females and Agbada for the males.
From the first painting to the last, we see where it all started to where it is now. The way it was worn in the 60s to how it is now. And also how females have began to embrace the male fashion styles more which is visible in the third painting where the lady is seen rocking an agbada which is traditionally a male outfit.
The first piece is from the 1960s, the second is from the early 2000s, and the last two are from very recent times.
I made use of the golden open acrylic paint for this piece.
