Adirée is pleased to announce that Funlayo Deri will charm the runway at Africa Fashion Week (New York) (AFWNY). AFWNY is set to take place on July 14th, 15th and 16th at the Broad Street Ballroom in New York City's financial district.
The Funlayo Deri woman is confident, sophisticated, with refined taste. Deri's aesthetic is influenced by her cultural experiences and exposure. She believes that clothes should be glamorous but not taken excessively serious. Her pieces are luxurious and wearable while celebrating the female form and emphasizing curves.
“I own a dress from Funlayo Deri. She pays attentions to the needs of a woman's body.”- Adiat Disu, director of AFWNY
