The Africa Fashion Week London (AFWL) is Europe’s largest fashion event promoting and nurturing African-inspired design talent. The 2022 edition of AFWL held at the prestigious Freemasons Hall In Covent Garden, London.
Fast and emerging fashion brand, Piillz n Poizn became the most talked about brand at the end of the event. The brand which specialises in the idea of creating a luxury fashion brand where current trends coexist with timelessness has over the last 18-month been doing extremely remarkable jobs, headlining major fashion shows around the globe.
Before its grand display of artistry and fashion dominance at the 2022 African fashion Week in London, Piillz n Poizn turned heads back in August when 24-year-old Swelia Da Silva Antonio was crowned the new Miss Universe in Angola.
With the accolades from Nigeria, Angola and other locations, Piillz n Poizn headed to the United Kingdom to do what it knows how to do best, the designs were a delectable display of wearable art and a mix of contemporary, elegant chic and prét a porter creations.
In the words of the head designer behind the fast emerging fashion brand, Fifi Umenyiora, ‘leading this brand was a welcome challenge and I’m glad my team and I were not just able to rise to the occasion but meet and surpass standard expectations. I am glad our designs and level of creativity that went into the production all came out perfectly to the awe of the audience and the fashion industry”.
