About the man behind the brand: Abiola Haastrup - Akintunde


My first loves have always been fashion , music and hospitality. They have all played significant roles in my life. I developed my knack for designing growing up as a teen in Lagos, where it is common place to have your clothing custom made. My designs are heavily influenced by my life experiences and having grown up accross three different continents what you get is a blend of African, European and American flavors all in one or what we call an Afropolitan Style. Afro - Chic!
