Insider Notes
Sculptural yet soft, the Akwete Cowl Top is a celebration of form, texture, and movement. Crafted from traditional hand-woven Akwete fabric, it features a dramatic cowl neckline, an open back with a tie detail at the neck, and a cascade of long fringe along one side. The piece flows with intention, drawing from Lisa Folawiyo’s The Starting Line collection and its exploration of the dynamic between heritage and momentum. Complete the look with the Striped Akwete Pants.

Nigeria
Nigerian designer Lisa Folawiyo’s intricate, embellished designs have extended far beyond her home country—pieces from her eponymous label have appeared on the likes of Lupita Nyong’o, Thandie Newton and Solange Knowles, as well as on the pages of some of the world’s leading publications. The designer pays homage to her love of Ankara textiles in her pieces, crafted by a team of expert local artisans who take on average up to 240 hours creating a single hand-embellished piece.
