Townhall | Diving into the Intersection of Music and Fashion in Nigeria led by Dr Yetty
Art, music, and fashion have long shared a symbiotic relationship, each influencing the other in myriad ways. At FashionEVO, we recently delved into this fascinating dynamic during our Town Hall session, “70 Years of Music in Nigeria” presented by @70ymnbypopcentral. The enlightening event was masterfully led by the esteemed Dr. Yetty, who guided us through a vibrant exploration of Nigeria’s musical journey over the past seven decades and the fashion trends that have paralleled this evolution.
The session unveiled the profound societal transformations marked by Nigeria’s music, interwoven with striking sartorial statements that defined each era. From the traditional Ankara and Aso Ebi fabrics embraced with pride to the bold Afrofuturism and urban styles of today, Nigerian fashion has evolved alongside its musical trends.
As CEO of FashionEVO, I found it particularly enriching to observe how these discussions are shaping our understanding and appreciation of cultural identity. It strengthens our commitment to spotlighting the fusion of artistic expression and style that tells a uniquely Nigerian story, reflecting both its rich cultural heritage and innovative creative future.
The event wouldn’t have been possible without the vision and hard work of Yinka Obebe, co-founder Bola Yinka Obebe, and the entire Popcentral team. Their dedication to crafting such educational and engaging sessions is truly commendable.
As we continue to navigate this vibrant conversation at the intersection of music and fashion, we invite you to join us in celebrating and pushing the boundaries of these cultural dialogues. Together, let’s explore how fashion and music shape our identities and future.
