With every new season of BBNaija, one element of the show we always look forward to experiencing is Ebuka’s way of putting the spotlight on the innovative Nigerian designers at every live show. From his regulars like ATAFO and Deco 29, every season tells a different story with fashion while meticulously catering to the range of cultures in Nigeria through the infusion of specific traditional elements into futuristic looks that go on to set trends.
The No Loose Guard season was no different. In fact, this season might arguably be one of Ebuka’s most experimental seasons when it comes to fashion as he, in collaboration with his designers, put a twist on pre-existing designs. Here are some of our favourite looks.
Ebuka In Ugo Monye
Ebuka keeps his longtime designers close to his heart, and Ugo Monye is one designer who continues to experiment and innovate, a vision that ties into Ebuka’s style. For this look, they made a street wear-inspired Adire two-piece accentuated with beads along the patterns.
Infusing elements of traditional attires and streetwear, they made a fashion-forward piece that further proves their love and constant attempt to push the limits of male fashion with their collaboration. It’s easily one of the best looks we saw on Ebuka during the No Loose Guard Season.
Ebuka In Deco 29
It’s not a BBNaija season if Deco 29 does not show up and show out with his signature traditional look for the BBNaija live eviction show. Ebuka looked regal in the all-black agbada ensemble tagged ‘Oba Dudu.’ According to Deco, this piece celebrated cultural heritage through fashion, as the ensemble is like wearing a story that connects people to their roots and traditions.
With the aim of constantly telling cultural stories through fashion, Deco delivers every season. We have to appreciate the attention to detail and THE STAFF! Immaculate styling.
Ebuka In ATAFO
When you see this outfit, the first thing that screams at you is the details. In the usual Ebuka style, his third outfit for the BBNaija opening night was a traditional attire embroidered with gold stitchings and accessorised with statement gold accessories.
The outfit stole the night because of its unconventional yet traditional take on native wear. ATAFO x Ebuka collaboration is always a hit. It’s a no-brainer.
Ebuka In Tinathan
This is the most futuristic, modern, and innovative look Ebuka wore on BBNaija this season. But before we talk about the star of the show, the blazer, can we talk about the shoes?! The Balenciaga Space shoe added an edge to this outfit, and it was a welcomed addition.
Now, the blazer, with Tinathan’s signature stitching, the two-toned cropped blazer stole the show as the unique silhouette and overall boxy fitting brought the overall look to life. It’s Ebuka, obviously, the accessories will also be on point.
Honourable Mention
Did you know that Ebuka’s look for the seventh live show was inspired by his 83-year-old dad, Chief Obi A. Uchendu? From the choice of fabric to the accessories and composure, everything was a ten over ten, and Deco 29 once again deserves his flowers for always telling important stories with fashion.
Tune in to DStv Channel 198 and GOtv Channel 49 to witness what Ebuka has in store for us on the BBNaija No Loose Guard finale. It’s about to be a dream, and N65 million cash prize and an SUV worth N50 million are at stake.
