UK-based fashion designer and creative director of Sisi Sewing, Quwiyat Olashile Lawal, has explained why she is focusing on promoting indigenous Nigerian fabrics abroad. Speaking with Potpourri, Lawal said her aim is to highlight the versatility and contemporary potential of traditional materials such as Ankara, Adire, and Aso-Oke.
"I want the world to see that Nigerian fabrics are not only culturally significant but also adaptable to modern fashion. Through casual, corporate, ceremonial, and climate-appropriate designs, I try to show that these materials can be worn globally," she said.
