(CNN) Acclaimed Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has launched a "Wear Nigerian" campaign, for which she'll wear mostly Nigerian brands for her public appearances in a bid to support local designers. Style tips from Chimamanda"We were pleasantly surprised to see Chimamanda in one of our pieces on SKY news," Ogundeyi told CNN. "Chimamanda captures the very essence of the The Ladymaker woman," Azubike told CNN. They could only find Nigerian clothes made of native fabric (Ankara), or overpriced imported clothes from countries such as China and Turkey, so decided to make their own. Ajayi moved back to Lagos to start Tife in 2016, while working with The Lagos Fashion and Design Week production team and the Nigerian brand, Fashpa , but nothing could prepare her for an order from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
