Ejiro at LFDW SS16 Finale

Ejiro Amos Tafiri is an Indigenous fashion design, retail and educational company. It prides itself on its innovative designs, use of indigenous fabrics and attention to detail, while championing the push for collaborative retail structures in Africa’s fashion industry, to foster shared experiences and accelerate growth. We are passionate about sharing knowledge and capacity development within the fashion ecosystem.

Ejiro Amos Tafiri (the mother brand) is an Indigenous premium brand for quality women’s wear that fuses African dress forms with detailed modern garment construction techniques, often influenced by the fluidity and ornamental style of oriental heritage. We are thought leaders in the retail fashion space, creating well-tailored garments that celebrate individuality and ultra-femininity.

Established in 2010, the Ejiro Amos Tafiri brand has a keen knack for layering, a multi-texture fusion of fabrics and embellishments reminiscent of African royalty while keeping elegance, complex simplicity and fluidity as the watchword. The brand seeks to challenge and push what is inherently traditional to mainstream fashion through innovative applications of fabric, modern cuts, and drapery technique while celebrating feminine curves.

The reimagination of a popular traditional outfit, “Oleku”, to a modern drape dress went on to sell thousands. It endeared a vast local following of upwardly mobile, cosmopolitan women who filled up high-end location stores in Lagos, Ikoyi, in 2014. Similarly, the Ikeja flagship store and home to the Ejiro Amos Tafiri school of Design was launched in 2016.

Ejiro Amos Tafiri acknowledges the importance of fostering progressive cultures to stay alert and updated with market demands as a fashion company. The products and services offered are rewards for milestones conquered in the journey through life as it takes each client on a path of personal expression and discovery. The brand caters to women across borders with a vision to build and embrace cultural stories through Design that celebrate the bold, expressive and confident woman.

Ejiro Amos Tafiri is synonymous with innovation, individuality and elegance all whilst being geared towards excellence which isdistinctive traits of even the employees of Ejiro Amos Tafiri.
