Write
for Us
Do you write about African fashion, cultural dress, beauty, modelling, or heritage? Ola & Vick is looking for passionate, knowledgeable contributors who want to share their voice with an audience that genuinely cares about African culture and style.
Your Voice on a Growing Platform
Ola & Vick is Nigeria’s premier editorial platform for African cultural fashion. When you write for us, your article reaches an engaged audience of fashion lovers, parents, creatives, and heritage-conscious readers who genuinely value what you have to say.
We publish articles that inform, inspire, and celebrate African culture. Whether you are a seasoned fashion writer, a stylist with real experience, a tailor with trade knowledge, or simply someone with a genuine passion and a clear point of view — there is a place for your voice here.
Your article will be published under your name with a short author bio, giving you a permanent byline on a growing cultural fashion platform. We also share every article across our social channels — Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.
Topics We Publish
African Traditional Wear
Guides on Agbada, Ankara, Aso-Ebi, George lace, Aso-Oke, Kente, and other African cultural garments. How to wear them, how to source them, how to style them.
Kids & Cultural Dress
Articles about dressing children in traditional wear, cultural outfit guides for parents, and features on children’s fashion in Nigerian and African contexts.
Modelling & Career
Career guides for aspiring models in Nigeria, industry insights, behind-the-scenes features, and interviews with fashion industry professionals.
Beauty & Heritage
Natural hair, skincare traditions, beauty rituals rooted in African culture, and how they connect to identity and self-expression.
Fashion Business & Industry
Stories about Nigerian and African fashion designers, how to start a fashion brand, fabric sourcing, tailoring, and the business of African fashion.
Original Content Only
Every article must be original and written exclusively for Ola & Vick. We do not accept articles that have been published elsewhere or submitted simultaneously to other publications.
Focused & Useful
Your article should have a clear subject and a clear point. Readers come to Ola & Vick to learn something or be inspired. Every article should leave them better informed or genuinely moved.
Culturally Respectful
We celebrate African culture — we do not sensationalise, stereotype, or reduce it. All articles must approach African fashion and heritage with genuine respect and cultural awareness.
Clear & Readable
Write in plain, confident English. No excessive jargon. Subheadings are encouraged. Articles between 600 and 2,000 words perform best. We edit for style but will not rewrite poor structure.
No Promotional Links
Editorial articles are not advertising. We do not accept articles written purely to promote a product or include paid links. If you want promotional placement, see our Advertise page.
Images Welcome
If you have original photographs or images you have rights to, please include them. Clearly state the image source and photographer. We can also source images if you do not have any.
We are not looking for perfect writers. We are looking for people with something real to say about African fashion and culture — and the honesty to say it well.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need writing experience?
No. If you have genuine knowledge about African fashion or culture and can express yourself clearly, we want to hear from you. We will help shape the article during editing.
Is there payment for articles?
We currently operate as a contribution platform. Writers receive a permanent byline, author bio, social promotion, and the credibility of being published on a growing Nigerian cultural fashion platform.
Can I include a link to my business?
You may include one relevant link in your author bio. Editorial articles cannot contain promotional or affiliate links within the article body itself.
Can I write regularly?
Yes — and we encourage it. Regular contributors build a stronger presence on the platform. If the first article goes well, we will discuss an ongoing arrangement.
What if my pitch is rejected?
We will always tell you why and, where possible, suggest a different angle. A rejected pitch does not mean we do not want to work with you — it may simply mean the topic is already covered or not the right fit right now.
