ABOUT
WHO WE ARE
Through fashion design, jewellery, sculpture and textiles the Wearable Art Collective challenges conventional notions of a singular African aesthetic and identity, and reflects the integration of African art and design without making the usual distinctions between “professional” and “artisan.”
The Wearable Arts Agency represents Africa’s emerging designers, on world-class fashion platforms. Many designers do not have the resources or knowledge of how how to scale their design business, so Wearable Art Agency seeks to build and equip such designers. Each designer under the WAA is vetted and taken through vigorous training by branding experts. The outcome of this vetting is a collective of exquisite fashion labels, worthy of any acclaimed fashion platform.
WAA searches for authentic hand crafted pieces. The selection is made according to the Wearable Arts philosophy: only those pieces that are elegant as well as trend-setting make it into our gallery.
THE CURATOR
Lola is also an award-winning leadership/transformational coach and mentor.
She has inspired, motivated, coached and mentored women and girls from various backgrounds via her organisations, Proudtobeme, Ebony Business Network and Women of Desti- ny. She is passionate about women, creativity, social enterprise and entrepreneurship and is very keen to see women of all ages fulfil their potential and unlock all their latent ability.
This is why the Global Citizenship for Wearable Art Collective is very important to Lola as the brand works towards bringing resources to families and young girls of Africa
