NIGERIAN ADIRE TEXTILE ART

The Yoruba adire (indigo resist-dyed cloth) tradition is seeing a renaissance: artists use cassava paste or stencils to create new patterns and even dip-dye denim and silk, bringing this heritage into luxury markets. This contemporary adire art, inclusive and sustainable, celebrates slow craft and Yoruba legacy in a world of fast fashion, its deep blue hues carrying cultural pride to global boutiques.
