ADEKUNLE GOLD as our ‘Celebrity Style Focus’ of the week is a Nigerian singer, songwriter and a graphic designer. Adekunle Kosoko born on the 28th of January 1980 the native of Lagos State graduated from Lagos State Polytechnic with Diploma in Arts and Designing.
Everything he touches from music, graphics and styles sure turns out to be gold. The fusion he merges out of Nigerian traditionally made attire with a bit of modern is what we call the Afrocentric style.
The singer popularly known as Adekunle Gold describes his genre of music as ‘urban highlife’.
Adekunle Gold is bold enough to rock a perfectly tailored matching print suit with colourful accessories, he’s one to pair a tailor blazer and distressed denim with Ankara shirt, pairing a graphic tee shirt over denim with a ‘yoruba’ cap the Afrocentric slays in all.
His style adventure has seen him stunning African attires, Ankara prints, tye and dye with accessories paid with embellished cap, aso oke vest, graphic denim with adire pants and more not forgetting going occasionally bare chested under this tailored pieces are some of the look he does so effortlessly.
His stylist Donald Onugha who designs and interprets his style just perfectly states that Adekunle Gold represents ‘culture and highlife’.
Anything to show off a glint of Africa: Ankara prints, tye and dye, aso oke, print suits, graphic denim prints and his bold accessories proves Adekunle Gold is gold.
