DESIGNER HAUS OF THE WEEK - MAKEDA

House of Makeda was created by Teni Olafisoye, a musician and fashion designer. Her love of both music and fashion inspired her to create a house that is edgy, fashion-forward and unique, socially conscious and eclectic. She studied History at the University College London and African Studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies and has soaked up a myriad of multicultural influences while there. She lives now in Lagos, Nigeria, working from the Makeda studio and fuses the African with Western and Eastern, the vintage with the contemporary to create a style that is powerful, classic and truly sophisticated.

THE BRONZE COLLECTION





Makeda was the famed African Queen of Sheba who captured the heart of King Solomon journeying to his kingdom to gain knowledge and wisdom, which were to her, more precious than gold or any jewel. In her time, she was the embodiment of regal elegance and now, the timeless qualities she possessed have been reborn for the modern woman.

THE ASO- EBI COLLECTION




House of Makeda is a unique, aspirational African lifestyle brand that creates truly one-of-a-kind style. We draw inspiration from diverse cultures, eras through time and nature, fusing the African with the Western, the old with the new to create classic pieces for the sophisticated, intelligent, modern woman.

GOLD FLARE






With our ready to wear Makeda line, exquisitely made to measure Makeda Couture and diffusion demi-couture L’Afro Bohème line for the exotic haute bohemian; there is something for every woman. Truly iconic. Truly African. Yours truly, House of Makeda.

GOOD PERFUME ADVICE

Here are some useful tips on how to make a pleasant entry and hold that fragrance long enough to last for the good money spent to purchase it.

•Try to keep your perfumes in dark and cold places so they can remain long-lasting.

•Do not splash perfumes on silk because it leaves stains.

•If you want to use perfumes which cause allergic reaction, try to spray it on your handbag or your hair or the parts of clothing which do not touch your skin directly.

•If you want to find out if you are allergic to some fragrances, spray it gently on your wrist or inner part of your elbow. If after about an hour you notice some reaction, it means that the perfumes are not for you.

•It is better to perfume your body before you get dressed because you can spray more of your body then and it will not leave stains on your clothes.
•Most perfumes are designed to last for about four hours. Some of them may last longer but they will change their scent then. Therefore it is advisable to use perfumes once or twice more during the day.....
