Eyola – A New Era of Fashion

Step into a world of exotic fashion, with a range
of high trendy collections that provides clients
with better contemporary options. Located at the
Lambogini House Lekki, the Eyola Fashion House
berths with a brick and mortar fashion showroom
and a digital online store. The London-based
brand, run by Nigerian Entrepreneur Eyola,
champions feminism and the handmade
sensibility of nineteenth century intricate and
bespoke tailoring.

With a penchant for lavish textiles and ornate
detailing, Eyola exudes an innate sense of style,
poetry, femininity and opulence; together
becoming Eyola’s signature. Each silhouette,
crafted by self-acclaimed ‘fashion sculptor’
Eyola, is an eccentric display of cut and
proportion reminiscent of the Victorian era.
With each piece handmade in London, Eyola
describes her process of creation as resembling
the art of sculpture, as opposed to fashion
design.
Sculpting fabrics onto the female form, Eyola’s
eponymous label looks to the past to create a
new era of fashion, an era that not only
introduces a new style of fashion for women, but
also a new system of fashion entirely.
Each silhouette is created as part of a small
capsule collection called ‘Octettes’, a new
fashion term coined by Eyola that derives from
one of the Victorian era’s most iconic fashion
items – the corset, which creates an hourglass
figure-8 shape..
At Eyola’s Private Showroom in Lagos, Eyola
displays her signature style inspired by the
opulence and eccentricity of Victorian couture
tailoring proposed for cocktail dresses, evening
gowns and bridal wear; alongside party separates
and the ‘E-SMA’ accessories line (for both men
and women) inspired by Senator Musa Adede. On
the opposite end of the style-spectrum, Eyola’s
Femme De Rose explores another branch of
Victorian tailoring that was once reserved only
for menswear.
The art of bespoke traditional British tailoring
revolutionised the way men dress in the
nineteenth century and found a permanent home
on London’s Savile Row. Men’s suits were, and
continue to be, tailored by skilled craftsmen
handmade exclusively to each man’s individual
style, taste and size.
Eyola adopts this tradition of British tailoring with
sister label Femme De Rose, where women can
design their own classic wardrobe staples to
their own style and taste using Eyola’s online
virtual design companion. The finished design is
handmade in London by skilled craftsmen,
following the art of traditional Savile Row
tailoring, and then shipped to your doorstep.
