Battle of the Designers: A Celebration of Nigerian Talent

Hi Friends,

It’s a Friday evening… why am I here? - To boost your mood boards!

If you are a lover of wearable art and particularly that which comes from Africa, you know Nigerian designers are among the best creatives, not just within the African continent, but globally. This past week we wrapped up Lagos Fashion Week 2024 and the creativity from Nigerian designers both on and off the runway was simply out of this world. In the spirit of boosting your creative senses and giving you ideas for your next outfit (or ten), I’ve put together a mood board containing some of the styles from Lagos Fashion Week 2024. You and I both know there’s a style or two you already have in mind so let’s Bring Your Vision To Life.

MAYE TOBS

Founded in Lagos, Nigeria, Maye Tops is a contemporary fashion brand that creates pieces that transcend traditional norms and embody the true essence of androgyny. Each piece is designed to honour individuality and dismantle societal boundaries.
