ANKARA VIBES






By Niyi Tabiti
Chief Reporter

Nigerian women are making beautiful designs out of Ankara.Yeah! It’s cheap but Nigerians are proud to associate with it. Check out the pictures and you will understand what I mean by Ankara vibes.
Let us also appreciate our tailors for their creativity. Some of them are at per with world class fashion designs in New York, London, Paris, Italy and other fashion capitals in the world. The only problem is that they don’t have the resources to withstand the challenges.
There are some ‘fashion designers’ in Nigeria today that cannot handle a pin let alone work on the machine. What they do is hire a ‘street’ tailor who is got the magic!
When the gistmaster gets to the printing stage,trust me to give you hundreds of designs that would make the likes of D & G,DKNY,VERSACE etc be envious of what is coming out of this part of the world.I believe that one day,International designers like this will showcase ankara at their fashion shows.
