The Founder and Creative Director of ‘Hair We Are’, Olanike Idowu, has said the Nigerian fashion industry has grown in leaps and bounds in the past three years, with more indigenous designers taking centre stage.
Idowu, who said this at GTB Fashion Weekend in Lagos, noted that it’s worth celebrating that creative Nigerian fashion designers are creating world-class products for dresses, shoes, bags to even hairstyle.
She added that the rise of the Nigerian fashion industry has resulted in more people shopping in the country instead of going abroad in the search of quality products. Idowu said, “I’m very proud of the fact that our fashion industry is becoming more indigenous. Two to three years ago, most of us had to pile up cash and wait to do our shopping when we go abroad on vacation. We shop for clothes, shoes, bags and make up on vacation. But today in Nigeria, everything you pretty much need is available in the country.
“We have so many designers that are creative.
