Farfetch Collaborates with Lisa Folawiyo for Exclusive Capsule Collection

The brainchild of Farfetch and New Guards Group, There Was One (TWO) has become synonymous with innovative collaborations that push the boundaries of contemporary fashion. And now, in an unprecedented move, the brand has united with Nigerian-based fashion brand Lisa Folawiyo, unveiling a collaborative collection. The awe-inspiring womenswear range comprises of eight exquisite pieces. Each item draws inspiration from Folawiyo’s iconic creations and signature silhouettes, resulting in a collection that epitomises her distinctive style. Her Nigerian and Caribbean roots are also a major influence, seen throughout the collection.

Launched on Wednesday the 7th of June, the collection boasts an array of summer styles, offering a playful blend of Ankara fabric and bespoke prints. Priced from £95 to £390, these captivating pieces effortlessly capture the essence of the season, ensuring you’ll be turning heads wherever you go.

“So thrilled to have collaborated with There Was One on creating this collection,” says Folawiyo. “That each piece made was a revisit to a most loved Lisa Folawiyo print and to have worked with my favorite fabric, Ankara, the process for me was not only enjoyable but also endearing. The ease and lightness of the styles and the choice of prints and colours make for such a sweet summer collection. One that I absolutely love.”

A standout feature of this collaboration is the custom ‘hearts intertwined’ print, which was originally showcased in Folawiyo’s SS17 collection. The mesmerising pattern celebrates the unique bond between two individuals, and it has been masterfully reimagined and incorporated into the capsule collection, adding a touch of romanticism to the designs.

To say Lisa Folawiyo is deserving of this collaboration is an understatement. Since its debut in 2005, the brand has been at the forefront of Nigerian designers, making waves on an international scale. This collaboration with Farfetch further solidifies the brand’s position in the global African industry.
