Ready to discover some new names in fashion? Luxury e-commerce platform Farfetch has teamed up with popular NYC-based concept store The Folklore to introduce 10 new designers from Africa and the diaspora.
The brands include Nigeria-based Andrea Iyamah, Clan, Fruché, Lisa Folawiyo, Onalaja, Orange Culture, and Tokyo James, and New York-based William Okpo, EDAS, and Third Crown. To celebrate the launch, The Folklore shot an editorial and short film in Lagos, Nigeria’s emerging fashion capital, to shine a light on looks from the drop. The editorial was photographed by Nigerian photographer Stephen Tayo and produced by The Folklore’s digital producer, Raven Irabor.
