ISIAGU.

The Isiagu, also called Chieftaincy, is a pullover shirt similar to the dashiki that is worn by Igbo tribe in Nigeria.

It's typically worn by men and featured a lot at my wedding...and I think that's when I really saw with open eyes and mind, in all its true beauty.

Seeing it on a woman though, that's an entirely novel idea.  
Unless I've been under a rock while females have been running around in this?

What a style statement it made today.

Absolutely adore this look.

Igbo Kwenu!
