Crafted from pristine vintage silk, this Agbada reimagines tradition through refined elegance and cultural depth. The shimmering Swarovski embellishments introduce a modern edge — a bold interplay between heritage and innovation. In Yoruba culture, Adétóké means “the crown is worth cherishing” — a name that evokes dignity, integrity, and grace. This collection channels those timeless values through meticulous craftsmanship, regal silhouettes, and contemporary detail. The ADÉTÓKÉ collection is not just fashion — it is a story. A celebration of Nigerian heritage through a luxurious, forward-thinking lens. It is tradition, reimagined. Custom Fit - @paulwilliams.ng #AMVCA #AMVCA11 #AMVCA2025

Distance is not only measured in miles. There is a more mercurial distance that forms between memories and reality - between the versions of yourself that you left behind and the ones you hope to become. Paul Williams’ (@paulwilliams.ng ) AW26 collection explores this distance, treating it as something worth exploring rather than to try and overcome. Entitled Ìrìn Àjò - Between Here and Home, the collection explores Williams’ ideas about immigration, presenting it as a series of small decisions that slowly see you become someone new. There is no cinematic leap, you slowly let go of parts of your old self as you try to find a new one in this new setting. The process creates one of those moments of distance, between your departure and feeling as though you truly belong. Williams draws from his experiences trying to build a life in the United Kingdom after leaving Nigeria. It is a collection centred around the constant motion of this period of discovery, a time full of sending applications, working shifts and chasing opportunity after opportunity whilst stability always seems just out of reach.
