How the Tie Has Become a Fashion Must-Have
For decades, the tie was seen as a strict corporate accessory, something reserved for business meetings, formal events, or the finishing touch to a school uniform. The tie’s history dates back to 17th-century Croatian soldiers, whose knotted scarves caught the attention of the French. Over time, these evolved into the sophisticated cravat and later the modern tie. It has become a fashion attire, embraced by both men and women, making waves on runways, streetwear culture, and social media trends.

Originally worn as a symbol of status and formality, the tie has undergone a transformation that reflects the ever-changing industry of fashion.
No longer confined to men’s fashion, ties have become a powerful accessory for women as well. Designers and fashion influencers have redefined the tie as a chic and edgy piece that complements a variety of styles. It can be paired with oversized blazers, worn loosely with a casual outfit, or styled as a scarf or belt. Celebrities and fashion icons, like Chinenye Nnebe and Uche Montana have embraced the trend, proving that ties are not just for the boardroom.
Streetwear has also played a major role in making ties a must-have fashion item. High-end brands like Balenciaga, Off-White, and Dior have reintroduced ties in unconventional ways, featuring bold prints, unique materials, and deconstructed designs. Meanwhile, influencers on platforms like TikTok and Instagram have popularized fresh ways to wear ties, incorporating them into casual, vintage, and even punk-inspired aesthetics.

The tie’s resurgence proves that fashion is always evolving. No longer just a symbol of formality, it has become a tool for self-expression. Whether you’re dressing for a cooperate event, fun, or something in between, the tie adds a layer of uniqueness to any costume.
So, the next time you’re looking for a simple yet striking way to elevate your style, consider adding a tie. It’s more than just an accessory, it makes you confident and showcases your creativity.

Rema Walks Diesel’s AW26 Runway at Milan Fashion Week
Rema stepped onto the runway at Milan Fashion Week for Diesel’s Autumn/Winter 2026 presentation, marking a visible crossover between Afrobeats and high fashion. His appearance placed him among the select talents featured during one of the industry’s most watched calendar events.
Creative director Glenn Martens staged the show inside a large-scale installation built from 50,000 pieces of Diesel memorabilia. The set referenced the brand’s archive and long-standing denim culture. Layers of distressed fabric, structured outerwear and textured finishes moved through a space designed to feel industrial and deliberately crowded. Reports from Vogue highlighted the scale of the production and the emphasis on brand history.

Rema walked in distressed denim paired with a metallic gold vest finished with a shearling collar. The look reflected Diesel’s experimental approach to fabric treatment while aligning with his personal style. Coverage from Dazed and Rolling Stone Africa noted the growing presence of music artists on international runways, particularly those shaping youth culture.
The AW26 collection combined heavy outerwear with sheer fabrics and reflective denim. Several pieces appeared intentionally treated to look worn, with manipulated textures and layered construction forming the core of the presentation.

His walk reflects the increasing visibility of Nigerian artists within major fashion houses and signals continued collaboration between music and luxury brands on global platforms.

Wizkid and Pharrell Raise the Bar for Male Fashion—and Possibly New Music
Is Wizkid hinting at new music? That’s the question his latest Instagram post has sparked. The images, captured alongside American musician, producer, and fashion designer Pharrell Williams, appeared without a caption, leaving fans to speculate. While it’s not confirmed whether new music is coming, the photos themselves highlight how both artists approach visual style.
Wizkid wears an all-black leather outfit, with a fitted biker jacket and tailored trousers that make an impression with their tailored fit. Pharrell Williams takes a different approach, pairing a satin bomber with wide-leg trousers that move freely, showing how fabric and cut shape his look. The black-and-white photos capture the textures, contrasts, and details of both outfits, making the differences between the two styles clear at a glance.

Wizkid’s all-black leather outfit maintains its sharp tailoring. A fitted biker-style jacket with a structured collar is paired with lace-up trousers and pointed boots. A chain necklace and tinted sunglasses add subtle details. The leather continues to define the outfit’s shape and clean lines, showing how careful cuts and material choices elevate the overall look.
Pharrell offers a contrasting approach. A satin bomber with graphic detail is paired with wide-leg trousers and solid sneakers, creating a relaxed shape that emphasizes movement and proportion. The satin introduces sheen, while the trousers provide balance through volume. Minimal accessories allow the focus to remain on the combination of cut, fabric, and shape.

Side by side, the photos show contrast between fitted leather and relaxed satin, structured lines and looser proportions, as well as different textures and volumes. Both looks demonstrate how fabric, fit, and design can define a look without relying on logos or branding.
Whether this collaboration signals new music or is solely a style moment, the images highlight contemporary approaches to menswear. They emphasize how tailored details, fabric choices, and proportions can make each outfit visually distinct, showcasing the thoughtful approach both Wizkid and Pharrell take toward their public image.

Oyindamola accessorized her look with silver statement bangles on both wrists, a silver ring and a simple chain necklace. Her makeup was done by Ewatosin Makeovers and it was a soft-glam look with well-defined brows, neutral smokey eyes and glossy nude lips outlined with a darker line.
