Although, it is widely believed that Nigerian celebrity fashion styles are mostly gotten from seasons collections by popular fashion designers or style trends from fashion magazines and other fashion events, but the most known style amongst Nigerian celebrities is bespoke styling! (custom-made designs).
The most recent style which has caused an uproar this week is that of Nigerian hip-hop musical genius, Olamide Gbenga Adedeji popularly known as ‘Olamide’ or ‘Baddo’.
He makes no exception with his choice of outfit for the Zazoo zehh video with upcoming Nigerian musician Portable and Poco Lee who is best know for his dance moves.
He was styled exclusively in a green custom made suit from Xfitdesigns. A unique short sleeve suit jacket and matching pant trousers to mimic the new dress code for the Nigerian army called “The number four” dress in the army.
General Baddo, which remains the intent creative idea for the design was illustrated and made as bespoke for the musical artist by Nwosu Ebenezer, the Creative Director of Xfitdesigns.
I believe that every design should be functional and tell a story which can reflect the times/happenings when the design was made and a time before or after.

Other notable Nigerian celebrities who he has created designs for include Mr Eazi for the Kpalanga video in 2020. A custom military suit was made to express a story; a tale about the challenge of love.
