Nigerian Fashion Designer, Amaka Osakwe Has Been Named As One Of The Influential People In Global Fashion

Amaka Osakwe isn’t your average fashion designer. Since the creation of her brand, Maki Oh, in 2012, Amaka has totally bossed the fashion industry, in Nigeria and abroad.

Every year, since 2013, the Business Of Fashion 500 (Bof500) recognizes and credits people who have shaped the fashion industry with their work. And this 2016, Amaka Osakwe made the list of the 500 fashion influencers.

For those JJCs who don’t know, Maki Oh has dressed the biggest names you can think of: Genevieve, Lupita, Solange, Rihanna, Mummy Beyonce and our biggest mummy, Michelle Obama.

Her clothes even made it to Beyonce’s amazing album, Lemonade.

She creates the most beautiful things with Adire and other African prints.

It’s obvious at this point that the only way for Amaka Osakwe and her brand is up.
