NIGERIA'S FASHION SCENE



Contemporary Nigerian fashion is pretty much a fusion of traditional textiles and fabrics (eg. lace and batiks) with western and pop cultural trends. Local garments are still very popular though.Nigerian fashion is popular around the world for its famous head gears and waist wraps.
