In anticipation for AFWNY 2012 (July 12 -18), every month beginning January 2012, Adirée will release individual designer videos from 2011’s showcase of Africa Fashion Week in New York.
Funlayo Deri is a label owned by Creative Director Funmilayo Csilla Deri, a Nigerian born, London/Budapest based fashion designer. Deri showcased her collection called “Labour of Love” on Saturday July 16, 2011. Her pieces are luxurious and wearable while celebrating the female form and emphasizing curves. Funlayo Deri women are confident and sophisticated― with refined taste.
Deri’s aesthetic is influenced by her cultural experiences and exposure. “I also believe that clothes should be glamorous but not taken excessively serious,” says Deri.
