DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT: Attollé Clothiers
According to their website, Attollé Clothiers was launched in 2002 in Lagos Nigeria, by Bookey Itoandon who schooled and graduated as a lawyer in 2001 from the Nigerian Law School. Her love for fashion, sketching and fabric selection led her to follow a career in fashion. Her collection was featured for the first time in 2012 at the AFWNY (African Fashion week New York). The Attollé collection received an outstanding review that led to an invitation for her to showcase for the second time in 2013.Bookey has become consistent with her vision to make every woman look elegant regardless of color, size and shape as she continues to develop bold and stunning pieces for all. I fell in love with this brand primarily because of the great styling of the items. Such a great way to style your African print pieces especially for work.
