Chimamnda Ngozi Adichie launched a wear Nigerian project earlier this year, and she has stayed true to her project. From rocking ensembles by Ladunni Lambo to wearing beautifully offbeat clothes from Fia Factory and shopping from one of her favorite brands, Grey.

Chimamanda Adichie’s mum deserves credit for taking time out to dress her well. When Chimamanda Adichie was a child, she wore little girl dresses cinched at the waist, and had frequent market visits to buy yards of fabric and trips to the tailor to be measured.

She adored ready made clothes bought from boutiques because of how imperfect they were and looked forward to dresses from Europe gotten for her by her professor father when he traveled for conferences in Europe.
