## Who is behind Ejiro Amos Tafiri?

Ejiro Amos Tafiri launched her eponymous label in March 2010 after working at the Nigerian houses Out of Africa, Zizi Ethnic Clothing and Tiffany Amber, Lagos Fashion Week’s profile says, although the same page lists 2011 as the launch year. Her womenswear blends African dress forms with detailed modern construction, using indigenous fabrics, layering and mixed textures, and her handling of drapery earned her the nickname Nigeria’s drape queen. Alongside the label she works on education and skills for the fashion trade, and her site links to the Ejiro Amos Tafiri School of Design. Lagos Fashion Week lists her runway shows from 2014, and she showed off-site there on 23 October 2024, at the Bvlgari Tower on Victoria Island, and on 2 November 2025, in Onikan.
