Today the Ikoyi, Lagos home of Nigeria’s dame of Fashion, Hajia Abbah Folawiyo, will play host to a number of influential people, friends and family members of the septuagenarian.
This is in celebration of the matron of the Fashion Designers Association of Nigeria’s 75th birthday.
The wife of the late Baba Adinni, Alhaji Iyanda Folawiyo, is loved by many, so her special day is always a memorable period where friends and relatives gather to celebrate with her.
People like Senator Florence ita-Giwa, Princess Onilere and many other women of substance who look up to Hajia Folawiyo, are part of the usual important guests that add glamour to her birthdays.
Hajia Folawiyo, who rose to prominence as a fashion designer, earned her skills under a loving mother, who was a seamstress.
