D’Iyanu by Addie Ajayi

Edited by Melody Boykin

     Happy Sunday! Today’s designer spotlight features D’Iyanu by Addie Ajayi. D’Iyanu makes fabulous ready-to-wear clothing whose value supersedes any price tag. What’s most priceless about the D’Iyanu brand is the unique lens from which the brand was birthed. Similar to most designers of her culture, Addie’s background helps refine her vision for her fashion designs. This vision is rooted in celebrating African culture and heritage told through the classy but colorful perspective of a Nigerian-born-American and raised craftswoman.. D’Iyanu fulfills Addie Ajayi’s dream of creating the magic of the rich and plentiful merchantry of Nigerian villages in urban America.  For D’Iyanu, accessibility is the name of the game as Addir Ajayi brings the eye-catching fabrics and textiles of Nigeria to the states.
