Gbemi & Toolz Kick Off of “OffAir” with the Big Question: Is Nigerian Fashion Too Expensive?  

OffAir with Gbemi &amp, Toolz is up, and this year is already shaping up to be even more interesting. They’ve kicked points off with a sizzling show that dives right into one of Nigeria’s hottest discussions right then: the cost of style, not only are they in a brand-new workshop. You Nigerians still afford designers and stylists from other countries? That’s the problem Gbemi and Toolz posed, and they can rely on them to produce the kind of raw, brilliant, and thought-provoking takes that make OffAir like a crowd-favorite. Two renowned figures in the fashion industry joined them: Tubo, a developer, and The Style Infidel, a stylist. They collectively removed the pieces to understand why African clothing has become so expensive, whether it should continue to be that method, and what it really takes to strike a balance between creativity and affordability. They continued with this exciting, laugh-out-loud talk, drawing global attention to African style, the pressure of styling today’s stars, and the daily realities of Lagos style culture. This event perfectly combines the wit, insight, and integrity that Gbemi and Toolz are known for, from the beauty of the red floor to the rush of road style. More than just a conversation about garments, it also touches on lifestyle, personality, and what it means to “look great” in today’s Nigeria. Tell us, therefore: Do you believe that African fashion is undervalued or worth every penny?
