Therefore, this research was conducted to build a documentary on dipo dress fashion trends from classical to contemporary times. The paradigm of the research is qualitative which employed guided interviews, observations, photographs and documentary reviews as primary and secondary data collection instruments.

The study revealed four major Dipo dress fashion stages with various trends under it: tying of strings, cleansing initiation, victory initiation and dress up. The researcher realized that modern values were inherent with dipo dress fashion trends therefore recommending to dipo custodians that traditional and modern practices should be promoted and rebranded to make the ceremony evergreen and accommodating
