About Buki Akomolafe

BUKI AKOMOLAFE is a Berlin based clothing label founded by Buki Akomolafe in 2016. Her german and nigerian heritage bring a diverse background of tradition, handcraft, design experience and aesthetic vision. The designer spent her early childhood at the side of her father, who manages an agricultural project in Nigeria (VPP Nigeria). During this time she experienced a conscious use of resources. The label stands for Contemporary high-end women's clothing with a slight hint to androgyny, precise tailoring and high quality eco materials. BUKI AKOMOLAFE is an homage to the gentlewoman of today. A refined balance between clean european classical tailoring and traditional Craftmanship and techniques of West- Africa. With her creations, Buki is sharing the love, passion and appreciation for craftsmanship. The label uses only organic and certified Cotton and organic Hemp-Silk, except the African Waxprints, they are sourced in the Netherlands. The small-scale collections are fully handcrafted with care in her studio and a small manufacture in Berlin. Beside the Basic range, BUKI AKOMOLAFE is specialized in the creation of unique Quilt pieces, that are reversible and limited editions. Her aim is to raise awareness on consumption and changing the narrative on African fashion.
