Lagos Contemporary

This in my opinion is the most famous illustration of lagos and i thought it was perfect for our opening image and header. It just says so much about the city- contemporary, fast-paced, beautiful, a huster’s utopia.

Some people may look at this photograph and think “chaos” but I look at it and appreciate the beauty of the city. This illustration represents a lively, multi-faceted and tireless people also known as Lagosians.

P.S: I thought the photo will be incomplete without a random POPO lingering around somewhere. Can u spot the popo?? *rolling eyes*

Ethnic going Glogal- MY ASHO



MY ASHO(derived from the Yoruba word “aso” meaning cloth and pronounced “ash-awe”) is an online fashion website that markets the endeavours of African designers. They sell clothes, bags, and accessories for women and children and even have a section for house and home.

The website has got fashionable items from African designers around the world including Ituen Basi, Toju Foyeh, Jewel by Lisa, Nike Akinola London, Christie Brown, Ghana etc. You can order from anywhere in the world including Nigeria (you can even shop online and pay offline at any GTB Bank!!).

Most of the products on myasho.com are ethically handcrafted and produced in limited quantities, which means you can always be assured to find high-quality, inspired boutique style pieces at very affordable prices.

It looks like Asos Africa has got competition... hmmm

Check out pictures of some of the stuff I like (there's even a nice little rug and cushions from Ituen Basi!)
