Chimamanda Adichie features in Vogue UK Closet Diaries (SEE COOL PHOTOS)

Chimamanda Adichie is the March feature of Vogue UK’s popular 'Closet Diaries' series. See her explanation for this outfit and various outfits below...

Hello from Nigeria Vogue.co.uk! Today I am wearing an old, much-loved Carolina Herrera dress and shoes by Emanuel Ungaro. I designed the neckpiece from individually cut and twisted strips of ankara fabric bought at Lagos' Balogun market



For a speaking event, I am wearing a Peter Pilotto skirt, Ann Taylor top, Annarita N jacket and Miu Miu shoes. The handbag is Anya Hindmarch, which I find myself reaching for very often, because it's just big enough to hold a book and has a slight lovely retro feel.

I am wearing a Stella Jean dress. It reminds me of a dress my mother wore often when I was growing up. My shoes are Sophia Webster - I am always grateful for beautiful heels that are below 4 inches. My belt is from Target. My headwrap is an ankara fabric from Nsukka market.

I am wearing a BCBG top and DSquared2 shoes. My bag is by a Nigerian designer Obsidian, bought in a lovely shop called L'espace in Lagos. I designed the trousers, and my superbly-talented tailor Razak made them.
