Jewel by Lisa by Lisa Folawiyo


Hello fashion lovers,

 I don't even know where to start , I have discovered so many talented African designers lately its unbelievable . You might think you learning a lot but I'm too at the same time, I almost run home everyday and grab my laptop just to do my research . There have been a lot buzz about the designer I am about to introduce to you today. Her name is Lisa ( you can read the bio below) she is doing such a phenomenal job and is making us African very proud.I've learned about her back in day in 2006 on Bella naija.She had just started her line then .The First thing that I look for when I check out a designer is their website . The way you present yourself is everything. Lisa is actually one of the designer out that has a very good website . It makes you want to see more . Jewel by Lisa was present at the Arise African fashion show in South Africa and her collection was off the hook.Once again who said Africa does not have talent?
In 2005 Lisa Folawiyo and her team of expert craftsmen stormed onto the Nigerian fashion scene with Jewel by Lisa (JBL). In less than four years Lisa has perfected the art of wearing Ankara, being the first to embellish the fabric with sequins, swarovski crystals, beads and the like, and turning Jewel by Lisa into a coveted luxury label. JBL started out making Ankara skirts, but has now expanded into ranges of dresses, skirts, tops, jewelled necklaces, and cushion covers.
