Sister Derby has ALWAYS been ahead of the curve... AND a fashion icon.

For OWO24, she took the stage in a look by @dinnanioff made entirely from yarn made from old T-shirts from Kantamanto.
And she’s been rocking Dinnani’s creations nonstop ever since. Because when sustainability meets serious style, you don’t just wear the look. You live in it.
So naturally, we’re very curious to see what The African Mermaid be wearing (and dreaming up) at The Upcycling Bazaar at @untamedempire this October, where she’ll be performing live once again. And @dinnanioff will be there too, with more upcycled pieces for you to fall in love with.
Link to tickets in our bio.
We’ll also be sharing free tickets at all of our activations throughout the month so be sure to pass by!!
October 25 at Untamed Empire. Come for the fashion, stay for Derbytopia.

If you weren’t at the @obroniwawuoctober x Kanta Block Party… we’re not saying you missed out, but… you missed OUT.🫠🔥

@centsideboys turned Hendin Court into a whole different universe.

Music blasting, people dancing, skating, good people, good energy and the kind of chaos you wish you could bottle up and replay.

And on top of that we were joined by the legendary @sisterdeborah and @ivethstunner

And just when we thought we were done… 👀

We’re doing it again.

Catch the @centsideboys at #TheUpcyclingBazaar, October 25th at Untamed Empire, where they’ll be bringing the Block Party energy straight to their OWO booth.

Come shop their upcycled creations from garments to bags to shoes meet the boys, catch their LIVE performance and experience the madness for yourself.

If you missed the Block Party, this is your redemption arc. 😌🔥

October 25. @untamedempire Be there.

For the last three years, every single week, the Tide Turners have shown up for Accra’s coast.
This crew from the Arts Centre community collectively stewards nearly two hectares of coastal wetlands, tackling the textile waste that washes onto our shores and joining drainage exercises further inland to help keep Accra’s waterways moving.

They see the ecological burden of the global textile waste crisis up close - every week, year after year.
And every year, we join them.

This ObroniWawu October, we’re bringing our community back to the coast for another day of caring, celebrating and showing up for the people doing this work.
Come clean the coast with us, then stay for the music, food, dance and exhibitions.

Show up. Show out. Bring your people. 🧡🌊

📍 The Tide Turners Shed, find us on Google Maps 📅 Saturday, October 10 ⏰ 8:30 AM

From Kantamanto to Lagos Fashion Week, Woven Threads VII: CRAFTED, we showed not just a presentation, but a collective, shaped through material, process, and people.

What begins in Kantamanto, where many second-hand garments and materials are discarded, continues in the hands of a growing community of designers and practitioners who rework them into identity, memory, labour, resistance, and possibility. From reclaimed textiles to weaving, dyeing, crocheting, and material experimentation, each practice offers a different way of engaging with what already exists, not as waste, but as a resource.

At this year’s presentation, we brought together designers and makers working across upcycling, circular design, and craft, carrying their practices from the market, through our studio, and onto the Woven Threads stage, grounded in the daily labour, skill, and knowledge of the Kantamanto community and its network of craftsmen, tailors, and seamstresses, who continue to explore new ways of making through reclaimed materials.

This was a collective practice. A different way of making. A different way of seeing. A different way of valuing. Because textile transformation does not begin with the garment. It begins with people.

Thank you @lagosfashionweekofficial, @stylehousefiles and @sunnydolat.

At Woven Threads VII: CRAFTED, it was clear that Sustainability is not a trend, and it cannot exist in isolation. It lives across systems, in how we produce, consume, discard, source, remake, move, and value.

Within this shared installation space, the works by NAKOI unfolded as garments of memory and becoming - pieces that draw on identity, womanhood, and heritage, shaped through reclaimed materials and careful hand processes.

Alongside this, woven works developed in collaboration with the Winneba Weavers through Project Justine brought another layer of material knowledge into the space, grounding the exhibition in practices that have long understood care, continuity, and craft.

Kantamanto and other African secondhand markets are not an abstract site of waste. They are a living system of people, labour, skills, talents, creativity and care - constantly working to extend the life of garments within a global system that was never designed to hold them.

Presenting this work in Lagos, alongside designers and cultural practitioners rethinking material, process, and value, was to be part of a larger alignment. A shared insistence that fashion can move differently, and we already have the solutions we need.

Not extractive. Not disposable. But rooted. Circular. Regenerative. And accountable to the people within it.

Thank you to @lagosfashionweekofficial, @stylehousefiles and @sunnydolat for creating such a space for this work to be seen, engaged with, and held in conversation.

And to our team, our Executive Co-founders and community, who were on the ground: Eugene Ewusi-Annan, Sammy Oteng, Liz Ricketts, Branson Skinner, Rebecca Naa-Koi and Emmanauel Tetteh, for carrying this work into the space with intention.

Before the doors opened, before the conversations began, there was preparation. Garments taking form. Materials finding their place. Adjusting. Arranging. Refining. Slowly, the space comes together - just before the exhibition unfolds. Exhibition is being curated by @sunnydolat & @stylehousefiles of @lagosfashionweekofficial, featuring by @__nakoi__, @theprojectjustine and @theorispresent.
