Chimamanda<br />

Ngozi Adichie<br />

Chioma Esui<br />

It is one thing to like fashion; it is a<br />

different ball game to be a fashion<br />

icon. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie<br />

is one of the few non-fashion<br />

personalities who can command that<br />

respect.<br />

For god’s sake, this lady is a writer and<br />

feminist – persons who are known<br />

to have very poor fashion taste<br />

(apologies if this went too hard!)<br />

She has exciting views on beauty<br />

and fashion. In an Instagram post,<br />

she expresses what she thinks about<br />

feminists being fashionable;<br />

“There are intelligent women all over<br />

the world who like fashion, but feel<br />

the pressure to pretend otherwise,<br />

because they want to be taken<br />

seriously by a mainstream world that<br />

has decided that intelligent women<br />

cannot possibly like fashion.<br />

“A woman does not have to be one<br />

or the other. She can be both.” I<br />

cannot agree more, and honestly;<br />

she is so right about this – like many<br />

other things.<br />

She is also known for mostly sticking to<br />

African designers. In the most recent<br />

times, here are five of her looks we<br />

love. Guess what? We added two<br />

extra picks just because we love you!<br />
