The Lens, October 2026
Two houses come into view, five step out of it, and Lagos Fashion Week arrives with a theme that could have been written for this site.
Atafo and the argument for the tuxedo
Mai Atafo built a Lagos house on bespoke tailoring, bridal and a motto about rules. Now that its shop is in view, the clearest statement of that motto is a tuxedo shirt worn with a cummerbund skirt.
Made to order, in the studios' own words
One hundred and eighty-eight pieces in this catalog are made to order. We read what each studio actually promises about the wait, and why the wait is part of the work.
