Nigerian face mask fashion
Armored up and blinged out true Nollywood style!
As health officials and government leaders around the globe have been taking precautionary measures to ‘flatten the curve’, fashionistas world-wide have started to fall in line in their own creative way.
What started out as a safety measure, in a seemingly short time, became yet another way to express ones self while aiding in the fight against the spread of COVID-19. And although mostly a trending safety protocol for now, we have a feeling it’s an accessory that’s here to stay awhile. As such, we thought it would be fun to virtually travel around the world for a little inspiration capturing.

Africa is such a beautiful and diverse country teeming with amazing wildlife, rivers, mountains and deserts. The cultural history of the continent and its people dates back to the cradle of civilization. Fabric in Africa has a millennial story behind it. It truly is sacred to the culture. Philosophy, ethics, morals and history are all conveyed through each thread. Not only are the patterns valued as a means to communicate a message but also the colors that are chosen are significant.
