Redefining how Nigerian culture is viewed worldwide by highlighting the beauty in nostalgia, Nigerian fashion brand, Meji Meji (@mejimeji.co ), aims to document the history of Africans to be told by them rather than for them. With the launch of the Winter 2025/26 Collection, the brand takes inspiration from the typography of Lagos transit, an archive of family photographs, postcards, and handwritten sayings from her grandmother’s house, and the rituals of soul sisterhood, bridging the gap between the African past and a global future. We sat down with founder, Tolu Oye (@tolucoye ), to discuss how she’s turning the “Lagos hustle” into wearable history. View the full interview at www.themanor.africa

Tolulope Oye’s (@tolucoye ) latest campaign for Meji Meji (@mejimeji.co ) draws from her family archive, weaving personal memory with the rhythm of everyday life in Lagos. Through garments that feel both intimate and familiar, she translates lived experience into pieces that resonate quietly across the diaspora;subtle, knowing, and deeply rooted. . With the #AW26 collection, the narrative extends into film. ‘The Past That Never Fades’ moves between past and present, tracing a visual memory of Nigeria that feels both reflective and alive. Founded in Lagos, Meji Meji continues to centre cultural storytelling; where nostalgia, community, and daily life shape how identity is worn, carried, and remembered. . ‘The Past That Never Fades’ AW26 campaign film is available to watch here: https://youtu.be/Zvbeeb4F25g .

Last night was special. We premiered our short film celebrating Meji Meji @5 . 5 years of growth, finesse and Nostalgia. The room was filled with nothing but love. From cast to crew, to the incredible minds behind the brand, to every single person who showed up… the energy was beautiful. ✨ Grateful to have creatively produced this through our company @mayhemcre8tives and to have also played a part in bringing it to life as producer and executive producer. These are the moments that remind you why you do it. More than a screening, it felt like a full circle moment. Here’s to building, to storytelling, and to many more nights like this 🤍✨💫
