Then it’s on to sketching on paper and muses, as she often wonders how they would wear and style the pieces. The designer then passes the initial sketches to the illustrator and from one design; they could come up with three to five designs before the calico pieces.
Also, seeing as JBL designs prints, they design fresh prints to go with the inspiration behind the collection. The designer also disclosed that “embellishment is here to stay but in different forms for each collection.” Finally, they rework the Ankara fabric into modern design and then execute all the previous steps.
In speaking on what sets her apart from other Ankara modern wear designers, Folawiyo says, “For me because I have my brain, I have my mind…i’m inspired by what I am inspired by…no one can do it the way I do it…I am different and it’s just us.”
