Look 1 from Nigerian designer Tia Adeola's eponymous brand Tia Adeola Spring / Summer 2017 collection at Lagos Fashion Week 2016. Inspired by her background in Art History and deep interest in the Renaissance period, Tia created the first iteration of her brand, Slashed by Tia, in 2016 in her dorm room at The New School. Her aim with Tia Adeola is to make bold, wearable art for women, to rewrite history through the lens of fashion to include people of color in classical visual narratives they’ve often been left out of, and to pave a new future by empowering women in her community.
