Fashion, as it is said, evolves. Over time, gele styles have evolved into a fashion statement- from simple everyday wraps, to elaborate, sculptural fashion statement. Gone are the days when big, bold gele style is attributed to the older women. Today, the style makes a statement at Owambe parties.
The designers have also got more creative, and the styles have become more complex, creating eye-catching big, bold gele style expression, wraps that act as wearable art for glamorous traditional Nigerian parties.
It comes in different dramatic styles such as side fans, layered petals, and sharp, sweeping pleats, typically crafted from firm materials like aso oke, sego, ankara, brocade and adire, into styles that draw attention to you.
Big, bold gele style is a symbol of sophistication, social status, and individuality.
