In 1988, Folake Majin's "Schon Arik" label stepped on to the then very
young fashion industry in Nigeria with pieces that instantly caught on
with women because they were created to be visually stunning and
distinctive while paying painstaking attention to detail.
More than two decades later she remains a pioneer fashion designer and
a leader in the fashion industry with an ever growing clientele. She
has also inspired and mentored several young designers who have come
into their own success learning and gleaning from her vast industry
experience.

combination of moving art and sound" Miss Majin says
Folake Majin's daughter, Gogo Majin, designer for GM4FM speaks about
her collection – "My inspiration for the collection came from an
accessory that has been made and used by my mom for her clients for
more than a decade on many of her haute couture designs. I took that
accessory and built the whole collection around it".
The GM4FM is showing for the first time. The label was launched on the
13th of august 2011.
She continues ".For Sunday please expect a different spin to a fashion
show. Expect original visually stunning clothes and breathe taking
pieces. A show to remember"

breathtakingly beautiful clothes using fabrics such as African print,
Aso Oke, silks, Chantilly laces etc.

of Nigeria, television personalities, business women, senators,
housewives and beauty queens) over the more than two decades since she
started the label due to her creativity and drive
