Description
Dress culture deserves rapt attention and consideration in contemporary times. This is due to the rising concerns over the manners in which so many people dress that do not seem to understand the rationale behind dressing. As such, the desire to dress up in questionable pattern has infiltrated the entire socio-cultural systems. This book addressed the urgent need to resuscitate the dress culture threatened by the influx of foreign fashion into the multifarious ethnic groups in Nigeria.
