Afrolush was founded in 2022 by Ifeoma Adilih aka Ify. Ify was born in Glasgow and soon after this her family returned to Nigeria where she spent her formative years before returning to live in England at 9 years old. Despite returning to live in the UK, Ify was raised with a strong understanding of her Nigerian heritage and culture. Ify is from the Igbo tribe of Southeastern Nigeria which enjoys a rich, vibrant and flamboyant culture. Growing up in England Ify also strongly identifies with British culture which gives her a unique multicultural outlook on life, a rich tapestry of experiences & wide ranging perspectives influenced by her experience of living across 2 continents. Afrolush bridges the gap between Ify's African heritage and British upbringing through the medium of Contemporary African Fashion which mixes both worlds.
Afrolush was born of Ify's excitement for the talents of African designers & the desire to ensure her fellow Africans from the continent/diaspora had the platform to showcase their incredible collections to the world. Ify is passionate about Afrolush and the inclusive nature of the platform which amplifies underrepresented voices within the fashion industry.
Ify has made a life long commitment to championing African excellence, quality & innovation in creativity & design through forming partnerships with the best African designers across the world. Ify aims to facilitate growth & connectivity in the exciting space of Contemporary African Fashion.
