There are impressive fashion designers slowly making marks in the Nigerian fashion industry.
Though creative designers launch in Nigeria on a daily basis, a lot of them are truly promising! While there's no doubt there's also the rave (of people jumping on the 'stylewagon') to be seen as a 'celebrity designer (stylist and other things they come up with) a lot of these people know what they are doing.

Most of them are not fashion designers by training but developed interests in fashion and sharpened their skills to actualize their dreams/goals of being a sought after creative designer.
These impressive brands out of Nigeria improve with their collections, aesthetics and every detail concerning their brands and over time they've slowly gotten recognition for their efforts, creativity and the style spotlight is carefully beamed on them!
1. Imad Eduso
Imad Eduso is a fast rising womenswear brand based in Lagos Nigeria with a knack for creating feminine and almost girly pieces with an edge to it. The brand fast made a muse of Bolanle Olukanni who is ever a lifesize doll in their pieces.
The brand plays around pastels and more soft colours with a lot of whites. She's known for details including cold shoulders, embellishments, soft hand paintings and more intricate details.
A great thing about the Imad Eduso is being unpredictable, she goes from soft to girly to fierce to chic in seconds without losing the underlying sexiness it bring with it. It's a promising brand.
