South African breakout star and Grammy award-winning sensation, Tyla, graces the cover of ELLE Magazine’s October 2024 issue. At just 22, Tyla has experienced one of the most meteoric rises in recent music history, captivating audiences around the world. Only a few years ago, she was a high school student in Johannesburg with dreams of stardom. Today, she has made history as the first South African solo artist to land on the Billboard Hot 100 since the iconic Hugh Masekela did so 55 years ago. In addition, Tyla became the inaugural winner of the Grammy’s new category, Best African Music Performance, for her hit single “Water.”

Reflecting on her whirlwind year, Tyla hints at what’s to come: “This year was me introducing myself. Next year, I’m just gonna have fun. Do whatever, wear whatever. I’m just playing around a lot, and bringing a lot of my roots into my music. It’s still gonna be me, still sweaty vibes, but evolved.”

In her interview, Tyla opens up about her upcoming project, the global rise of African pop, and her commitment to keeping her culture alive through her music. As she continues to evolve as an artist, Tyla is determined to maintain her authenticity while celebrating her African heritage in everything she creates.

Read excerpts of the interview below:

On Amapiano:

“When amapiano would come on, we would see everybody’s moves just change. Seeing the energy of it…it felt so spiritual,” she tells me. “I always wanted to mix it with other styles that I enjoy, like R&B and pop—and make it my own.” It was frustrating to watch her country’s unique music, from amapiano to kwaito house, go unnoticed by the rest of the world. “I felt it was so special, and it needed to be shared. I did my own version of it in hopes of getting people to go deeper and discover the other artists we have and the origins of my sound.”

On South African music:

“Another thing about South African music: There can be a depressing song, but the beat just makes you wanna dance. So I also like incorporating that in my stuff. While you’re crying, dance and shake your ass at the same time,” she says with a laugh. Whenever she listens to the amapiano song “Healer Ntliziyo Yam,” for instance, she cries. “I know what I like,” Tyla says. “I know what I wanna look like. I know what is cool, especially now. I trust my judgment, and yeah, I love collaborating with people and going outside of my comfort zone, but not too far off where it feels like something I wouldn’t do. If I don’t like it, I’m not going to do it.”

Reflecting on her wild year,

“I do feel like I’ve changed a lot in the span of a few months; people may not see it. I’m excited to see that in my next album.” She describes that change as starting to detach from what people say or think about her, after feeling annoyed at constant comparisons to Rihanna and “I’m a Slave 4 U”-era Britney Spears. “Initially I used to care. Recently I’ve just been feeling, ‘They’re gonna say what they wanna say, and it doesn’t even matter because I know it’s not that,’” Tyla says. She posts less and sometimes deletes social media apps from her phone for a week at a time.

“This year was me introducing myself. Next year I’m just gonna have fun,” she says. “Do whatever, wear whatever. I’m just playing around a lot, and bringing a lot of my roots into my music. It’s still gonna be me, still sweaty vibes, but evolved.”

US-based Nigerian designer and creative director of Tesslo, Tessy Oliseh-Amaize, has launched her latest collection, “Africa to the World,” at the 15th anniversary edition of the Ankara Festival in Los Angeles.

The men’s haute couture collection, showcased at the Academy LA on Sunday, September 1, reimagines the Ankara fabric for a global audience.

“My vision is to elevate Ankara into a fabric that transcends cultural borders. I want Ankara outfits to become products that everyone desires to wear, no matter where they are from,” Oliseh-Amaize said in a statement.

“Ankara has become synonymous with Africa, but because of its popularity, it is easy to take the fabric for granted or see it as something you should use as a mere handkerchief, a headwrap, or a muffler. But Ankara is more than that. With this collection, I aim to show the world a side of Ankara they’ve never seen before.”

Oliseh-Amaize, who won Nigeria’s Best Designer Award in 2006, continued, “I want to see someone in Japan confidently wearing Ankara designs, not just because they are stylish, but because they are also functional, comfortable, sophisticated and professionally tailored. Ankara might be seen as just something African, but it can become a global product if it’s embraced by people everywhere. For us at Tesslo, ‘Africa to the World’ isn’t just a tagline, it’s a movement to bring Ankara into every household.”

The new collection blends urban modernity with classic avant-garde styles, drawing inspiration from various African cultural motifs. The designs are influenced by the Guérewol festival of the Wodaabe tribes of Niger and Chad, the regal imagery of the Oba of Benin, the vibrant mmanwu masquerades of southeastern Nigeria, and the rich heritage of Nigeria’s Niger Delta, among others.

Adding to the evening’s glamour was Nigerian-American Hollywood star Folake Olowofoyeku, best known for her role in Bob Hearts Abishola, who co-hosted the event, stunning the audience in a handcrafted Tesslo outfit.

The event, produced by Peter Lentini, also welcomed a host of African Hollywood talent, including co-host actor and comedian Seyi Brown, Sierra Leonean actor; Duain Richmond, actor and producer Kofi Boakye, and President of the African Artists’ Association Francis Onelum, among others.

The ever-gorgeous Chalya Shagaya, Director General of the National Institute of Archeology and Museums Studies (NIAMS), graced the illustrious launch of Lagos Canvas in classic style.

Sporting a timeless Deola Sagoe masterpiece she first rocked about 20 years ago, Chalya courted attention all night long. The elegant little black dress is made of 2-toned Aso Oke fabric in the brand’s pioneering style.

Chalya Shagaya in Deola Sagoe

Championing sustainability while staying fashionable, Chalya paired the blue-black piece with a neutral-toned facebeat, an elegant turban, pretty bracelets, and a gem-embellished court shoe.

In a heartwarming full circle moment, Chalya reunited with the iconic Nigerian designer of her first-ever purchase from the eponymous Deola Sagoe. She is wearing the same outfit from 2006, and it still fits like a glove! Hit the ▶ button below to watch:

Meanwhile, the illustrious event was aptly themed Made in Lagos and Chalya gave fans a backstory to her moment in the spotlight. On Instagram, she wrote regarding the theme:

I’ll explain. I was conceived in Lagos. And born in Lagos. Lagos Island to be precise. At the Lagos Island Maternity in the early 70s (yes!!! 👀 ).

When I got the invitation for the #LagosCanvas event from @moabudu & the United States Consular General Will Stevens in Lagos, I knew there was no way I could go in my birthday suit (😂) seeing as the event was themed “Made in Lagos”, so I opted for my Deola Sagoe number which I purchased nearly 20 years ago. 2006 to be exact. Obviously made in Lagos by @deolasagoeofficial at the then Odua Creations studio in Lagos. So perfect!! #Vintagegold

Now… little did I know that I would bump into the designer and artist (#DeolaSagoe) herself at the event. Her face lit up as we ‘clocked’ each other once I entered the room. I felt such an instant jolt of energy I’m wearing her art and she is appreciating said art on me?

From BellaNaija Archives, take a look at Chalya in 2009 at the ARISE: African Promise Collective event in New York, three (3) years after purchasing her timeless piece:

What is Ebuka Obi-Uchendu wearing tonight? Is it a traditional outfit? Is it streetwear? Is it a jumpsuit? Streetwear? A jumpsuit? Well, it seems to be a combination of all three, and one thing is for sure: Ebuka always kills it in the fashion game every eviction night, and we can’t help but look forward to it.

Tonight, one or even two pairs might go home. Could it be your fave? Our fingers are crossed. But while we wait for Ebuka to make the announcement, let’s take a moment—or maybe more—to appreciate his stunning outfit.

Designed by Nigeria’s Ugo Monye, Ebuka’s ensemble features a striking mix of Adire fabric with denim and intricate beading. Once again, give it up for Ebuka, who never fails to slay Naija fashion looks.

Enioluwa and cast members like Tomiwa OjoPriscilla OjoTobe UgehJohn Merry and Jerry Chuks dazzled with their chic ensembles. Each arrived with their date, adding a touch of elegance and flair to the event.

The UFW24 will showcase all the paraphernalia of a pristine fashion festival, comprising masterclasses and workshops, designed to contribute to the knowledge economy of our host state and region, a mini-retail mart for fashion items and accessories as well as our premium runway shows, which will include two shows named “Ayaya” and “Asiaan”, and one runway show committed to discovering up and coming designers – “ARISE Runway show” named after the Akwa Ibom State’s development plan – The Arise Agenda.

Friday, 20th September, 2024

  • 9 am – 1 pm: Masterclasses/Workshops

The UFW24 is expected to attract the fashion and lifestyle community from across the country and will be hosted at Ibom Hall, Uyo to accommodate the anticipated surge in attendance.

Masterclasses and workshops will however be hosted at the Nelson Mandela Hall of Wattbridge Hotel, Uyo, just across the road from Ibom Hall.

The UFW24 will play host to top-notch celebrities and icons of the entertainment industry, such as Nollywood actors – Nancy Isime, Richard Mofe-Damijo (RMD), Ini Edo, Eve Esin, Ebenezer Eno, as well as Emmanuel Umoh of the Big Brother Naija fame.

Nigerian-American fashion influencer Wisdom Kaye has taken his sartorial prowess a notch higher with his latest project: The High Fashion Olympics. In this creative endeavour, Wisdom styled and dressed according to the unique aesthetics of 30 different countries, blending cultural heritage with high fashion in a way only he can.

From the vibrant colours of Brazil to the sleek minimalism of Japan, he seamlessly transitions between styles, highlighting the diversity and richness of fashion worldwide.

Speaking about the project, he said this in his Instagram caption

The High Fashion Olympics, all 30 Teams. Who’s taking home gold?

I know I said 25, but here’s 30 instead. This project took a lot out of me and to be honest it’s not my best work. It’s very rushed, both the video styling and stills as I only have myself a week to style 30 countries whilst pulling as much inspiration from them as I could. Not every look had historical or cultural context and some looks go more in-depth than others when ideally I’d like them all to share a similar amount of cultivation. In a perfect world, each look would pull from the flag design, including cultural details from each country and also feature designers from the respective teams, but I gave myself a week to do this so lmao next time I’ll plan better, Regardless, the support goes eons for me, so thank you all so much for the love on this. Please be sure to read the descriptions in the comments about what went into each look as the interpretations differ for each delegation.

What makes this project truly remarkable is his ability to infuse his style while telling a story of  with each outfit. His High Fashion Olympics is not just a fashion showcase—it’s a celebration of global unity, creativity, and the power of clothing to tell a story.

SirDavis is named after Beyoncé’s moonshine-making great-grandfather, Davis Hogue and marks her first solo venture into the liquor market. This special creation is a heartfelt tribute, paying homage to Sir Davis’ legacy and celebrating the rich heritage of American spirits.

Bey’s love for quality whiskey is said to have birthed this venture to allow people experience something “new and unique”.

Serving a déjà vu of her global namesake hit track with Wizkid, Naija’s star girl Tems covers the latest fashion issue of ESSENCE.

The award-winning Nigerian singer-songwriter, who just completed her Born in The Wild tour, looks every bit stunning in a golden satin headwrap, her face flawlessly glammed with her signature facebeat — straight 90s brow, cocoa-lined glossy lips, poppin’ eyes and a fabulously irresistible gaze — on the September/October issue.

You should be yourself even if something else is expected of you.

— Tems

She sits with fashion editor and the first black woman to style a Vogue cover, Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, to discuss more than style and music. Tems unpacks staying true to herself while navigating the pressures of fame and building the life she wants.

You win, automatically, when you are yourself, no matter what that looks like. That’s why there’s variety. We’re different and are not all meant to be the same. And I know there’s a standard, but there shouldn’t be one.

There shouldn’t be a standard of what people should dress like if they’re artists, or what people should dress like if they’re women. I just feel like we’re all unique. There shouldn’t be a requirement. That’s what I mean by standard. There shouldn’t be a requirement or some kind of expectation that you dress a certain way.

— Tems

Leather, feathers, fur and more, swipe through the carousel below to see some of her looks:

A post shared by ESSENCE (@essence)

I’m just a girl. I can’t wake up every morning thinking about what people expect of me. The better question is: What is it that I expect of myself? What is it that God expects of me? Why did I wake up, and why was I born into this world?

Let’s start there, rather than thinking about other human beings. Nobody has it figured out. You have to live your life in a way that is real.

— Tems

According to ESSENCE, “Karefa-Johnson’s groundbreaking role as the first Black woman to style a Vogue cover, paired with Tems’s rapid ascent in the music industry, highlights the unique challenges and triumphs that trailblazing women experience.

As the two share and connect on the specifics of their journeys, they reveal the resilience that propels Black and diasporic women forward, inspiring us to follow our own paths with similar courage and passion.”

I just want to know where that impulse to protect that identity came from. Ways in which you lean into showing up as a Nigerian woman. Ways in which that is successful in your fashion.

— Gabriella Karefa-Johnson

 

I feel like now, in the world, everybody wears many different things from different places. We’re not always wearing our traditional clothing that we’re used to wearing, from where we came from. But it doesn’t change who we are.

 

I’m always going to be Nigerian. You have to show up as who you really are, in your blood. I know my culture: I’m Yoruba. And I know—if I was to get married tomorrow, I know the attire that we’re all wearing as a family. And anything that has to do with representing Nigeria always needs to reflect that.

As a Nigerian, I feel emotional, which is what I think art should be. Art is emotion expressed.

— Tems

ESSENCE’s September/October Fashion Issue hits newsstands on August 26th. Read the full cover story with Tems here

Her face was beaten to perfection by a Makeup Artist from the Nigerian NEETA BEAUTY brand featuring a radiant blend of soft glam and shimmers. Her eyes were the focal point, adorned with shimmering shadows in warm, earthy tones, and complemented by a winged eyeliner.

Bonang’s complexion glowed with a dewy finish, accentuating her natural beauty. Her lips were painted in a luscious glossy nude hue, adding a subtle, yet sensual, finish to her look. Her hair was flawlessly put together by the stellar duo of South African THE DON HAIR & Nigerian Hair by Bukks, with a skin-matching frontal styled into a chic top bun.

Styled by Dahmola, Bonang rocked this A-class glam with five (5) outstanding outfits from Nigerian designers. See her photos captured by The Lagos Paparazzi below:

Style star Toke Makinwa is not slowing down her glam as the host of THE BUZZ. The talk show exclusively on Showmax reviews the exciting activities and dives deep into the reality of Big Brother Naija contestants.

Styled by Dahmola on the most interesting episode yet, Toke appeared in a stunning red dress from PK Crotchet aptly named Candy Cain for her second episode featuring media personality Cynthia Okeke & sensational content creator Joseph Onaolapo better known as “Jay On Air“.

The Candy Cain dress featured interesting ball hems that adorned the neck, sleeves, and lower hem, adding a sophisticated touch. The bright red hue of the dress perfectly suited her vibrant personality and her role as the show host.

She paired this eye-catching dress with Loewe’s balloon heels, adding a contemporary twist as the avant-garde balloon heels added a touch of high fashion to the ensemble. Glossy latte makeup, a laid-back blonde hairdo, and simple gold costume earrings were the finishing touches to the look.
