Wearing nine designers, she captioned the post,
Ya girl couldn’t make it to Lagos Fashion Week, but trustttt I’m repping from afar 🇳🇬. In honour of LFW, let me put you on to some of my favourite Nigerian designers’ pieces. These pieces are more than just clothes — they’re wearable art, cultural statements, and proof that Naija’s talent is unmatched. LFW2024 might be happening without me, but our spirit is alive in every Ankara print and aso-oke. Shout out to the designers pushing boundaries while staying true to the roots. Can’t wait to see the evolution & takeover of Naija Designers in the greater fashion industry.
From Wannifuga, KÍLĖNTÁR, Andrea Iyamah, Eki Kere, and KAI Collective, watch her slay every lewk!
