<![CDATA[This paper explores the evolving dynamics of the Nigerian fashion industry, highlighting how cultural heritage and modern influences converge to shape design, consumption, and representation. Drawing from literature, industry reports, and digital trend analyses between 2015 and 2025, the study identifies three major shifts: the fusion of traditional and contemporary fashion styles, the rise of inclusivity and diversity, and the growing adoption of athleisure and casual wear. The findings reveal that Nigerian designers are reimagining traditional fabrics such as Ankara, Adire, and Aso-Oke through innovative tailoring and global collaboration. Simultaneously, increased body positivity, gender fluidity, and regional representation are transforming brand imagery and consumer engagement. The expansion of digital fashion ecosystems, driven by social media, e-commerce, and technology-based production, has amplified visibility and market access for local designers. The review concludes that Nigeria’s fashion evolution mirrors its socio-cultural transformation, presenting opportunities for sustainable growth, digital integration, and cultural diplomacy in the global creative economy.]]>
