We’re honoured to be featured today in @voguebusiness , written by the incredible itsezreen , as we celebrate 15 incredible years of Orange Culture. From Lagos to the world, our journey has been one of bold storytelling, resilience, and community and we’re so thankful to still be here, telling our story our way.
Tomorrow @lagosfashionweekofficial , we unveil our second collection of the year, a deeply personal reflection on legacy, vulnerability, and transformation. This one holds so much heart, crafted in gratitude for how far we’ve come and hope for what lies ahead.
To everyone who’s walked this journey with us, thank you for 15 years of belief, craft, and love. The next chapter begins tomorrow.

Calling all African luxury consumers!! 🔊
I’ve launched a short survey to better understand how consumers on the continent interact with luxury brands.
🗣️If you live in Africa or spend most of the year there and purchase luxury goods, please take this short survey (✨link in bio✨). Contrary to what many in the West believe, African consumers are purchasing luxury goods, and I’m on a mission to reveal the data behind this growing trend.

This is my last week at Vogue Business. After three years, I’ve decided to go freelance! I’ll be spending more time in the motherland (🇬🇭) and travelling around the continent writing about African fashion, music, art and culture. I’ll also be consulting on a few exciting projects to be unveiled later this year, but for now swipe to see some of my favourite articles (and naturally, they’re all on Africa and the diaspora).
2024 letsgo 🖤🫂
