Founder and designer, Y'wande
Fatima Wande Lagundoye
Fatima Wande Lagundoye founded the Lagos womenswear label Y'wandelag in 2017 to keep traditional aso-oke weaving in use. The brand favours structured, modern shapes and reworks fabrics through hand embroidery and upcycled deadstock. Its Fall/Winter 2022 Kadara collection drew on the Yoruba idea of destiny. The label has shown at Lagos Fashion Week.
