Chimamanda Adichie Reveals Why She Mostly Wears Nigerian Designers


Popular Nigerian novelist, Chimamanda Adichie, has revealed in a new interview why she wears mostly Nigerian designers to public events. According to her, it is because she wants to support their talent.

“I decided to use fashion as a kind of political statement; which is to say that I made the choice to wear mostly Nigerian designers to public events, because obviously I want to support an industry that’s full of talent, but also to make a case for how fashion can tell a story. Fashion and culture are intertwined in very interesting ways,” she said.
