Let me start by telling you all you need to know about Gele (Head Gear).
Gele is a traditional Nigerian Headwrap. It is worn during
special occasions as an accessory to the traditional outfit of mainly the
Yoruba, Hausa and the Igbo tribes...
Gele styles comes in different variation as it could be
styled as simple as a scarf or as complicated as a peacock style, which may be
very problematic to tie.
The different gele styles keeps changing over the years with
different trending generational styles
In today's world, Gele can be tied with different materials
such as the popular Asooke, Ankara material, lace material Sego, Damask, and
recently some people even use slick materials. basically, while some of this
materials can be combined to tie a single piece of gele.
Here are some different trending types of geles- :
Double fan gele
Infinity pleated with fan,
Casual gele
Conture gele
Flower umbrella
Bling gele
Perfect Rose
Side Rose gele
Side twisted fan
Auto gele of different styles.
Basically, the act of tying a gele comes with creativity and
inspiration most times, but due to the problem encounter by different women
while styling their Owanbe gele, this has led to the creation of READY MADE
GELE, which is now known as AUTO GELE
which means the material is permanently sewed and designed in a specific
style as Ready to wear gele. Which makes it very easy to wear and keep for a
longer time.
The act of making gele has now become so trending and
professional that even the guys (the males) are not left behind as some guys
now professionally specialize in the act of tying gele and they are seriously cashing
out in this lucrative business... As the cost of of tying a gele ranges between
1k (one thousand naira) to 5k (five thousand naira ) per gele depending on the
technical design of the gele.....
No wonder the fashion gele caught the attention of the
popular musician Beyonce... She recently invited a Nigerian lady in the United
States to tie her pink gele which was featured in her latest music... I guess Gele fashion is gradually making its
way into the international fashion world as other nations of the world are now
embracing our Nigerian signature gele...
