Another Nigerian gospel artist who has grown in popularity is Frank Edwards not only for his good worship songs but also due to his out-of-the-ordinary dressing code. He is one of the most recognized gospel musicians in Africa and people have embraced his music and looks as much as his voice. These and other preferences al’ together make Frank’s personal wardrobe simple, elegant, and with a hint of urban style. It is partly for this reason, that let us look at Frank Edwards fashion and how it reflects his impact on gospel music.
1. Streetwear Meets Gospel
Frank Edwards is popular for the fusion of casual wear fashion that comes with a slight spiritual feel. As worn in tight trousers, cool trainers, and artistic T-shirts, its image appeals to today’s generation of young people, although it is a religious one. This approach to fashion can be attributed to his desire to extend gospel music to the next generation as a genre that everyone feels like they can relate to.
2. The Signature Blazers
Talking about formal clothing Frank Edwards also enjoys wearing tailored blazers to his special events. Whether worn in bright colors or simple blacks, his blazers have always had a touch of well so much class and crisper. This image is consistent with his well-packaged music most of which combines contemporary musical arrangement with gospel messages, a clear indication of his versatility in handling both contemporary and gospel genres.
3. The Accessorized Look
Frank also walks around with a passion for accessorizing. Depending on the occasion it can be a cross pendant, a fashionable cap, or sunglasses his style of selection of accessories strikes a personal note. The way he uses these items reveals his personality – he is brave, an artist, and is not afraid to experiment, the same as in gospel that he develops continuously adding new shades to the music.
4. Cultural Influences
Barely does Frank remove the western formal dressing but once in a while he pulls off an outfit in the traditional Nigerian wears like the agbada or the dashiki. This goes a long way in paying homage to his origin as well as depicting how he integrates culture into his fashion and faith in his music.
For this reason, Frank Edwards has been able to have an impact on the gospel music sector as well as fashion. His style can be said to be an offshoot of his music’s aims and objectives that is, to go out there and revolutionize the gospel by giving it a youthful appeal. His style of mixing contemporary and folklore reflects the universality of his music and extends the same influence into his dancing.
