Tonto Dikeh is WANTED! New Y!
Magazine cover pushes the envelope
Just in time for Christmas,
the 10th issue of Y! Magazine is out, and this new edition is certainly a first
for a lifestyle magazine in Nigeria. The magazine, unveiled exclusively to
invitation-only guests at the Annual Y! Magazine Black Ball in Lagos on Sunday,
16 December 2012 has controversial singer and actress Tonto Dikeh on its cover
– but, in a bold move, it’s an illustrated cover!
With a cover story themed
“How do you solve a problem like Tonto Dikeh?” that investigates the cultural
phenomenon that Ms. Dikeh has become, it kicks off a new Y! Magazine cover philosophy
to give deeper insight, beyond predictable interviews, into the Nigerian
culture and issues zeitgeist.
The cover illustration is by
Bolaji Iwayemi, and the photography for the inside pages is by the iconic Kelechi
Amadi-Obi, with styling by the impressive duo of Toyin Lawani and Tiannah
Styling.
