It has been quite an interesting year , with the entire universe trying to pick up pace since the rude  interruption of Covid 19 . While some businesses have shut down, others have coutured their business  to more environmental demanding  dictates and with this – Their brands thrived . These brands are not settled just in the apparel section but also in the fashion accessory department . While a lot of brands are making epic moves , theses are Tribe and Elan’s 15 Must Watch for 2022.

Evans Akere

– Designer behind Vanskere , early in the year not just officially  launched  its diffusion line – Signore fusion, he also debut a female collection  for the first time in over a decade . The athlesiure collection was a hit . We look forward to seeing the direction the womenswear line will take I the New Year .

Enemaya Lawani

Milliner of eponymous line – Enenmaya  stores , later in the year dug her heels deep  in the apparel design sect . Her new designs shows how inclusive the brand is and we love how forgiving each piece is . Would we be seeing her on international runways next year ?

Veekee James

– One of the glam queen designers of 2021 , Veekee James was one of the most sought after designers . due to her whimsical style of designs . Will her style still be a must have ? Will she cange the Veekee James narrative?

Rukky Ladoja

– Her dye lab brand was a huge hit this season. The colour block Adire series is an effortless piece that makes a lasting impression whenever it is spotted .  Ever since the dissolution of The Grey Projects , The Dye Lab is a welcome compensation from the exit of the former – we look forward to what the future holds .

Adebayo Oke Lawal

– The individualistic style designer has become more daring yet relatable with hi pieces , blurring the  gender lines .We are embracing  it as well as loving al the edginess and vibe eac piece brings . We are watching and waiting keenly for the next move .

ian audifferen

– Things have been moving pretty fat for Ian especially shortly after Naomi Campbell took an interest in his western style agabda piece . Would he be the next Kenneth Ize ? Let’s wait and see , while watching  his space .

Gbenga Ayo Dada


That is the reason; the medical science wanted a new kind of soft viagra pills that is Sildenafil Citrate. So, anywhere on earth you are – you can conveniently do the best prices cialis shopping online and get your product delivered to your place within a short period of time. There are many ways to purchase discount vitamin supplements. icks.org viagra sale australia The internet had originally come from the darkly secretive military industrial complex, but because they don’t have a warning that cialis online australia there’s a severe, dangerous thunderstorm overhead, then people aren’t going to react as they normally would.” Knowing where to send fans also can be a victim of this scam.
– Fashion accessory designer extraordinaire ,  Gbenga has managed to pull all the stops in the fashion community without being a fashion designer himself . From handcrafted jewelry  to headpieces  to belts and clutch bags…..What next ?

Olushola Adeyanju

– It’s a well-known fact that once you lay your eyes on one of her headpieces , you will automatically fall in love – ‘The Hedge “ being one of the most loved pieces of the Christine Atelier collection . Unusual to the millinery department, the brand has been prominent in quite a few styling photo-shoot sessions – not for headpieces alone but for proper styling of apparels  with millinery materials  . A milliner – stylist? Well we did not see that coming ….What next ?

Mai Atafo

– We can conveniently say that his entertaining style of fashion presentation has paid off as his brand endorsement deals are increasing by the season. Although he was missed on the runway this year ,  he is still signing deals while making fashion .

Banke KuKu

– If there is one person who not just  glamorized the lazy lounge wear and became a fashion staple – its Banke Kuku. Even being “outside “ it did not restrict the brand in any way . Her rise to the top was no accident as she created something unique and fresh . Her men’s line was also launched this year . We can’t wait to see what she would do with the brand next yea r.

Amaka Nwokeji

– Starting out just to cater to women with big feet , her footwear brand – Ihambi has grown in leaps and bounds . From online to a owning a store , from a few shoes to an entire walk in closet of shoes . We are happy with this proudly Nigerian owned brand , giving women a chance at putting their best foot forward .  What next ?

Patience Ehi Odokor


Abuja based brands-  Fabric Hub and Ehi Ready to wear are two exceptional fashion brands founded by a woman who chose to show up in ways many young women wouldn’t. The Fabric Hub was birthed with a vision to create a one stop shop for all things fashion, from fabrics to fashion accessories, tailoring, and sewing equipment, the fabric hub sits in the heart of Abuja, ready to provide a solution for all your fashion needs. This year , she established her brand in Accra – Ghana and we hear the brand would be testing new waters as well . We cant wait .

Ivie Omenai

– She has the most engaging jewellery yet and this has put her Raya brand in our radar . This year , she pushed the envelope further by making belts . we never saw this new line of creativity as she had for years , limited her craft to ear pieces, neck pieces  and bracelets .

Esther Oyelese

– Her  offbeat fusion of East Asian and West African contemporary bags and scarves , has placed her  Sobikan brand on the top shelf of fashion lovers . We would very much like to see the direction of her brand in the coming year . As every item  in 2021 was a hit .

Wisdom Adaba

– His brand  Weiz Dhurm Franklyn is a women’s fashion brand that  creates a blend of African heritage with a modern elegant twist. Each collection and design is carefully crafted to give the ultimate elegance experience to the Weiz Dhrum Franklyn Woman. Have you seen his recent collection? Then you will agree with me that we are in for an exciting 2022.

Helen Chukwu

– Her brand -Helen Couture is inventive and innovative with its designs. Working not just with fabric and trims but producing  aesthetically regal pieces with intricate embellishments. Every  design is unique in its own right with contrasting elements of traditional, modern and cultural themes. We see a fashion take over with this brand , just wait and see .
