ABOUT THE AYÒ COLLECTION

 

AYÒ MEANS JOY IN THE YORUBA LANGUAGE.

THE INSPIRATION FOR THIS COLLECTION CAME FROM THE CONSTANT THEME IN MY LIFE WHICH IS ‘JOY’. I MADE A CONSCIOUS EFFORT TO FOCUS ON JOY AND IT HAS TRULY MANIFESTED IN EVERY ASPECT OF MY LIFE.

THIS COLLECTION IS A BODY OF JOY.

COINCIDENTALLY, SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT WOMEN IN MY LIFE ARE NAMED AYÒ; AYÒTUNDE, FUNMILAYÒ, ADERAYÒ, AYÒMIKUN, TIWALAYÒ.

THIS COLLECTION IS AN ODE TO THEM.

THE FÚNMI SET IS NAMED AFTER MY MOM – FÚNMILAYÒ

THE TIWA SET IS NAMED AFTER MY NIECE- TIWALAYÒ

 

THIS COLLECTION WAS DESIGNED IN TEXAS
