Story & heritage
Lisa Folawiyo is known for turning West African textiles into sharply tailored occasionwear. Seen on the Spring/Summer '21 runway, Feu Dress compresses that approach into a single open-back statement piece.
It reads like the label in miniature: handwork, pattern layering, and a silhouette that stays fluid rather than stiff.
Materials & craft
The page describes an Ankara-and-Adire shirt-on-dress design with a split collar, open back, concealed zip fastening, and 100% cotton composition with hand embellishment. It also notes 1,000 hours of embellishment and an Adire fabrication.
How to choose & style
Let the back detail breathe; a simple heel and a restrained clutch keep the pattern work feeling intentional.
The dress wants movement, not extra decoration.
