Nine Nigerian Youth Fashion Icons
You can’t talk about fashion without the Nigerian youths who constantly push the envelope with their fashion statement. These youths have become pacesetters and sources of inspiration, garnering admiration from many.
Interestingly, some have made a career out of it, dedicating themselves to the glamorous life of the red carpet and of course Instagram!
This kind of lifestyle, however, is not cheap so it’s not surprising to find this crop of young fashionistas mostly coming from wealthy homes or at least working in the showbiz industry where looking good is good business.
We have picked nine exceptional young persons who have revolutionized the fashion industry with their enviable and impeccable fashion statement.
They include:
Temi Otedola
The fashion and style blogger is the second daughter of the billionaire, Femi Otedola.
While her sister, Ife Oteloda excels in disc-jockeying and forging a career as a singer, Temi has carved a niche for herself in the fashion industry with the JTO brand.
Denola Grey
Grey always slays and anyone active on social media sees his stunning photo pop up on their timeline even if they don’t follow him.
The TV presenter, actor, fashion consultant, and style blogger is no newbie to the fashion industry. Grey’s style is as effortless as his persona.
Ozinna Anumudu
Daughter of fashionista and socialite, Nkiru Anumudu, the apple didn’t fall far from the tree.
The entrepreneur’s fashion disposition is classy and elegant. We have watched her shine over and over again, leaving nothing but inspiration in her wake.
Mo’cheddah
