Fans of successful Nigerian womenswear line Jewel By Lisa have something to marvel over thanks to the newly released collection that offers a kick on ankara fashion. Jewelettes, as the brand’s founder Lisa Folawiyo calls those who appreciate her wax print aesthetics, can aspire to wear Jewel By Lisa from day to night. Not long after her collection debuted at New York Fashion Week last September, ankaranistas (ankara + fashionista) like Joy Adaeze, June Ambrose, Catt Sadler, Lola Ogunnaike, Angela Simmons, the brand’s publicist Zara Okpara, and LaLa Vasquez-Anthony translated the looks into their own personal signature styles. The craftsmanship and design combined with youthful, flirty silhouettes is what has made Jewel By Lisa stand out time and time again especially with her two previous collections. It’s no wonder fans and Jewelettes alike cannot get enough of Folawiyo’s luxury apparel line. Whether it’ll be a jumpsuit, a dress, a skirt, or a blouse, Jewel By Lisa has created distinctive looks for every woman.
