Fashion: Luxurious Fabrics and Intricate Embellishments Defining Luxury African Fashion

Tiffany Amber [Nigeria]

Launched in 1998, Tiffany Amber is a womenswear fashion label dedicated to creating feminine and effortlessly stylish pieces that reflect Nigerian designer and founder, Folake Folarin-Coker’s heritage. Luxurious fabrics and intricate embellishments are key elements Folake describes as defining the style of her label, and establishing her as a leading figure in contemporary African fashion.

With two stores located in Lagos, Tiffany Amber is all about offering its clientele timeless elegance and I for one, especially like the bold jewel tones of the fabrics, colour combinations and the way the clothes float down the runway. Folake is a self-taught fashion designer whose label has been growing stronger with each collection and as recognition of this, Folake was named Designer of the Year 2009/2010 at the Arise Africa fashion week in South Africa.

 

A great way to mark just over a decade in the fashion industry, me thinks!
