Cute-Saint Lagos proudly unveils its 2024 transeasonal collection, named Igboya, narrating a compelling tale of resilience under the creative direction of Muftau Femi Ajose.

Embark on a journey into the heart of African strength with the Igboya collection, a homage to the captivating art of African scarification—a cultural heritage deeply embedded in the history of this enchanting continent.

Scarification, once a form of art symbolizing bravery and adorning the skin of both men and women, resonates through time as an enduring emblem of strength. Drawing inspiration from the scarification practices of various tribes in Nigeria, South Sudan, and Ethiopia, this collection breathes life into a fading tradition that once served as a canvas for African narratives.

In contrast to the tattoos prevalent today, which have replaced the scars of the past, Igboya stands as a testament to the tenacity of African culture, persisting and evolving. This collection is a visual masterpiece, featuring intricate embellishments, knitted elements, and expertly crafted textures that celebrate a monochromatic palette—comprising black, white, grey, blue, and green. Each color encapsulates a distinct story etched in scars.

Igboya ventures boldly into the realm of experimentation, embracing deadstock cotton and locally sourced denim from the vibrant streets of Lagos, Nigeria. Each garment serves as a silent narrator, echoing the heritage that transcends time. Join us on this odyssey of strength, culture, and evolution as we proudly unveil the Igboya collection.
