Adebayo Jolaoso’s debut photo book, Eclectic, offers a vivid, behind-the-scenes look at Nigeria’s booming fashion industry. Spanning 704 pages and 700 images, the book documents six years of backstage life at Lagos Fashion Week, Arise Fashion Week, and GTCO Fashion Week—capturing the frenzy, beauty, and humanity that power Nigeria’s biggest fashion shows. What began as Jolaoso’s fascination with backstage energy has evolved into a rich archival project celebrating the stylists, models, and makeup artists often left unseen. Through Eclectic, Jolaoso pays a powerful tribute to their dedication. Moreover, the book is a compelling call to preserve these authentic, human stories beyond the fleeting nature of social media, ensuring the true architects of fashion are remembered.
