7 Standout Shows From Lagos Fashion Week
Andrea Iyamah
Nigerian designer Dumebi Iyamah started her label as a teenager, drawing inspiration from the colour, culture and natural forms around her. Initially known for its swimwear, Andrea Iyamah has since expanded into resortwear, ready-to-wear and occasion dressing, while retaining the saturated colour, expressive prints and figure-conscious silhouettes that define its aesthetic. This year, the brand marked its 15th anniversary with a presentation at Isimi Lagos, showcasing ‘Rooted’, its Fall 2026 collection, alongside a preview of Spring/Summer 2027. Flowing resortwear, rich jewel tones and organic textures felt right at home in the natural setting, bringing the label’s enduring love of nature and travel into focus.

Hertunba
Founded by Florentina Agu in 2020, Lagos-based label Hertunba uses fashion to tell stories, with craftsmanship, female empowerment and sustainability at the heart of its approach. Its collections often bring together structured silhouettes, expressive detailing and traditional textiles, alongside a thoughtful use of reclaimed materials. For this season, the label explored drop-waist shapes, statement fringe and intricate beading in a palette of blue, brown and black. The result was a collection full of texture and movement, with plenty of interest coming through in the finer details.

Onalaja
Founded over a decade ago by Nigerian-born designer Kanyinsola Onalaja’s eponymous label is known for its maximalist take on demi-couture, bringing Nigerian heritage together with contemporary design. In 2026, a fire destroyed its London studio and much of the archive built over the brand’s first decade. Rather than turn away from the experience, Onalaja used it as the inspiration for ‘Re: Birth’, her Spring/Summer 2027 collection, first shown in London before being presented in Lagos in an intimate, salon-style setting. Moving from burnt tones and smoky greys into brighter colour, the collection uses intricate beadwork, fringe and feathers to explore the idea of renewal. It’s a deeply personal body of work, with the craftsmanship and expressive detailing that have become central to the label.

Kilentar
Michelle Adepoju’s journey into fashion started with a trip across West Africa. Raised in the UK by Nigerian parents, she studied art and marketing before travelling through the region, where encounters with local textile traditions and artisans inspired her to launch Kilentar. The label works closely with weavers, dyers and beaders, putting the people and skills behind its garments at the heart of the brand. For Lagos Fashion Week 2026, Kilentar presented its Spring/Summer 2027 collection in an intimate offsite setting, showcasing contemporary womenswear shaped by traditional techniques. Organic cotton and hand-applied beadwork featured throughout, bringing texture and craftsmanship to pieces designed for everyday wear as well as special occasions.

Fruché
Lagos-based designer Frank Aghuno founded Fruché in 2014, building a label that combines artisanal techniques and storytelling with a playful, often unexpected approach to womenswear. His designs challenge familiar ideas about how clothes should look and be worn, giving the brand a distinctive point of view. At Lagos Fashion Week 2026, Fruché presented ‘KLEG’, its Spring/Summer 2027 collection, which brought together gingham shirting and draped gowns with more unusual pieces, including skirts made from carved seed pods and a sculptural wooden bustier. It’s this mix of familiar prints and unconventional materials that makes Fruché so interesting.

Orange Culture
Since launching in Lagos in 2011, Orange Culture has built a name for its expressive take on menswear and fluid approach to gendered dressing. For Spring/Summer 2027, designer Adebayo Oke-Lawal explored the space between familiar categories with ‘The In-Between’, a collection that played with proportion, texture and unexpected details. Sheer layers, uneven silhouettes, hand-stitched embellishments and looped-yarn finishes brought depth and movement to the looks, allowing the construction to take centre stage. It’s a reminder that the most interesting outfits often come down to contrast – try pairing a relaxed shape with something more structured or intricately detailed.

Rendoll
Reni Abina’s Nigerian womenswear label Rendoll is known for its confident use of colour, custom prints and sculptural, feminine silhouettes. Designed and made in Lagos, the collections are created in close collaboration with local artisans and garment makers. For Spring/Summer 2026, Abina explored the idea of duality with ‘Gemini’, a 19-look collection playing with contrasts between strength and softness, boldness and ease. Signature prints sit alongside cinched waists, voluminous sleeves and fluid draping, while a softer colour palette gives some of the more dramatic shapes a lighter feel. The result is a collection that feels polished but never overly formal, with pieces designed to work just as well during the day as they do for evening plans. If you’re new to Rendoll, Gemini is a good introduction to its distinctive mix of colour, shape and femininity.
