The creative director of the label, Lisa Folawiyo is credited as one of the trendsetters who revamped Ankara and reintroduced it to us as the ‘must-have’ fabric…She is well-known for her ability to garnish Ankara designs with delicate jewels, crystals and sequins to create unique and wearable pieces….
Here are some pictures from her recent fashion show held in Lagos……

I really really like the last dress!
Nice.
Luffly!!!!!!!!!
I can so rawk the adire boy shots.. yup me likeeey!
I really like these designs. The only problem is that I am all the way in the U.S. & I don't know where or how I can get my hands on these items. If anyone knows let me know.
Can people please read the whole entry before they make comments! Sheesh! Everyone loves the designs and wants to buy , buy,buy but they fail to see dat Bella put the Designers contact details up! Is it that hard to miss..Read the entire entry people.bella abeg no asa dem..them go get it eventually
Errrr.. blah blah blah or whatever your name is... calm down before you start raining abuses on anybody... the contact was not there earlier hence the inquisition. Anyways Bella thank for the info gurl... now go do what you do best and dig up for more... If you run out don't hesitate to try the tailorents and Sura the tailor et al (new word for them/PC term--stylists) because they can be quite creative and ingenius with their styles and cuts...tee hee hee
@ Bella..great website,you just keep bringing people back to your blog oh! All my girlfriends cant stop talking about your blog! You keep it fresh for bloggers and non bloggers. You keep the blog world yearning for more. There are too many 9aija blogs out there but yours takes the cake.
these clothes are da bomb
aww thanks everytone
@bigfan....u rock! u and ur friends should pleassse keep readin...ciao
yeah that is Lisa Idowu... I love her stuff and it does not hurt that she is repping for ahall.
I hear she dey pricey sha...because anythin wey dey embellished and take extra handy work dey expensive..I hope say i go fit afford her sha. Me i like her work so far
I honestsly dont think sura'ish tailors can get cuts, styles and fits down pact like someone who has an innate vision and passion for mod/couture pieces. & please dont mock us for being blind in the case we were, as was repeatedly said, the designer & pics dey emit FLAMES for ontop p.c. :)
'Addy's defense of the Unsung Heroes of Fashion.... the tailors in the backroom and in the sweatshops(where they apply) who most of the time never get any credit for bringing the designers vision to light.
Errata you'll be surprised at what some Suras can do with 'their own vision' and 'anybodys' for that matter. By the way some nigerian designers (with the exception of a few) don't do any sewing or cutting so they hire and over see 'sura-the-tailor' to bring their vision and drawings to life. Correct me if I am wrong but I seriously doubt Ms. Lisa (or any other designer for that matter) did all the cutting and sewing herself. So do not underestimate Sura o, afterall before we young and trendy discovered fashion designing can be a career, it was the Suras at the street corner-shop that were clothing our mothers.
By the way it pleases me when a designer takes the time to learn and hone their craft by taking a year or some to go to fashion design school as some of our new breeds are doing... very refreshing... the more they do that the easier it will become for nigerian parents to say 'ok ngozi you can go to fashion academy/eauty school and be a designer instead of Harvard to be a doctor'... (a stretch but y'all can feel me ...ok this is comment #3...i've become moderator o...lol)
im soo impressed men, i love how theyre improvising, using african fabric bt western styles..Very unique..
I love the designs. Very original & I can see the point of view.
Being a fashion designer is not just about sketching designs because that can only get you so far.. Its also about managing a business. It definately helps to know how clothes are made and how to draft patterns & sizes because when u maufacture clothing, bags or shoes u have to be able to have the necessary specifictaions for your manufacturer/ contractor.
niceeee!! ankara rocks!abi?
