JEWEL BY LISA -- MTN LAGOS FASHION AND DESIGN WEEK 2012



MTN Lagos Fashion and deisgn week: Jewel by lisa nigerian fashion design


Nigerian luxury design house Jewel by Lisa  introduced their latest collection at the MTN Lagos Fashion & Design Week 2012. I am a big fan of Jewel by Lisa and they have released amazing collections in the past but this is not one of my favorite ones. The collection is very coherent and  well executed but I am just not feeling the prints. It looks sad , but way better than some other collections I have seen on the same runway. You can check out previous collection of JBL here and be the judge.

Lookbook: J Label by Jewel by Lisa




According to the label "The J Label was birthed out of Jewel by Lisa’s endless love affair with fashion. A desire to create a completely new and unique brand for the youthful fashion conscious, every day girl, a true dictator of style, with an unbreakable loyalty to the Jewel by Lisa brand. The J Label is a strong combination of urban cool, afro-pop, and cutting edge beautifully crafted clothes --- it is affordable luxury at its best. The pieces are high-fashion-completely-relevant to youthlife; hand embellished treasures, to be admired, hung nicely in wardrobes the world over, then asily incorporated with other everyday pieces. The J Label remains about quality, craftsmanship, detail, comfort, and most essential considerable affordability. The J Label is not an option, it is always THE option."
Jewel by Lisa is undeniably one the best luxury African designers in the industry right now .The collection has everything from Blazers, dresses, shirts, pants, shorts,to bags. 

The line will be launched online this week .I am still drooling ( like its food lol) over all pieces even though some might look weird on me.Which one is your favorite piece ?

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.
