À propos

We are celebrating the diversity and vibrancy of the Nigerian Fashion scene.

We will show you the richness of African prints such as Ankara, Adire, Aso-oke, Otogwu and George. We will take you on a journey of how fashion in Nigeria has come full circle from our grand parents to our parents to us and now to our children in Canada! We will talk about what we wear to Nigerian events. Do you know that global celebrities have been photographed wearing clothes by Nigerian Designers? Nigerian fashion has gone global!

En_Vogue_Afrika, an online African Clothing Fashion store inspired from the roots of Africa will showcase Aso-oke a hand-woven cloth created by the Yoruba people of West Africa, Nigeria; Adire (Tie & Dye), a resist-dyed cotton cloth, made in Abeokuta, Southwestern Nigeria; and Ankara, also known as African Wax Print a 100% wax cotton fabric with vibrant patterns.

This will be fun!
