Nigeria is a thriving and pulsating hotbed of creative fashion and its contemporary designers - both home-grown and Diaspora, are beginning to force Africa’s style and voice onto the global scene. The book contains stylish imagery and photography from fashion shoots, catwalk shows and exhibitions. "Celebrating Fashion Today" also uncovers the vibrant and fascinating fashion industry of the continents largest nation from an insiders point of view. It profiles fashion pioneers such as Duro Olowu and features My Asho designers including Jewel by Lisa, Tiffany Amber and Ituen Basi.
The book also contains a comprehensive fashion glossary, compiled by StyleHouseFiles explaining the styles and techniques involved in the production of African materials such as Aso Oke and Ankara
