Abstract
Beyond beautiful fabrics, the Nigerian fashion transcends more than just aesthetics. The story of Nigerian Fashion does not begin on modern runway. Its roots go deep into the history of powerful Kingdoms. From the intricately woven clothes of ancient empires to the contemporary designs, Nigerian Fashion has served as a powerful tool for shaping global perceptions of the nation. Taking a look at the vibrant colour characterising the Benin people's outfits, the fine velvet textiles adorning the people, intricate coral beadwork, and luxurious woven cloth, all these was unlike anything the Portuguese had ever seen upon firstcontact in the 15th century
