“Fashion Doesn’t Make Me Less Serious” – Chimamanda Adichie Speaks on Style and Identity
Nigerian author Chimamanda Adichie speaks about her fashion sense and why she loves fashion.
During a recent interview, the author revealed that she had to limit her interest in fashion in order to be taken seriously as a writer.
“For some people, liking fashion means you’re not a serious person. So I went through a period of pretending because I wanted to be taken seriously as a writer.”
She then shared that she was later tired of downplaying her interest and openly came out, writing about it, and she also spoke about her love for Nigerian brands.
“Choosing to wear mostly Nigerian brands, which I started doing a number of years ago, was something I did intentionally. For me, it is a kind of fashion nationalism.”
You might have noticed some noise around the fashion scene and wondered what was going on. Well, it all started with TikTok. This young lady, Rachel, makes videos showing off her fits and walking in the backgrounds of Nigeria. She quickly gained fans and followers for her confidence and consistency.
Many also tagged modelling agencies, asking them to notice and sign her up, and she has been doing this for quite a while.
Luckily, Rachel was signed and is now on her way to walking for famous brands, including Chanel. The model was interviewed and shared her excitement at how unbelievable the experience is.
“I’ve always wanted to come to Paris, And now, I’m like, ‘Hello? I’m actually in Paris?!’”
She then spoke about her first walk with Chanel. When she saw her look, she said, “It’s a sign. This is a sign.” The textured tweed felt instinctively right to Ojuromi, who saw her look as a youthful interpretation of one of the house’s most recognizable codes.
Her beauty look, with glowing skin and braids pulled back neatly, was similarly simple. “They wanted me to look exactly like me and I really appreciate that,” she said. “I look so pretty. I feel really pretty.”
