Lisa Folawiyo on Leaving Law for a Life in Fashion

In this episode of Bridging the Gap, Lisa Folawiyo walks through the arc of a twenty-year career that began at a time when fashion in Nigeria had not yet become an industry ✨. She speaks about leaving law for a path that felt instinctive, creative, and expressive👗. She explains the discipline that kept her consistent, and the belief that Nigerian fashion could stand on its own 🌍. The conversation digs into her print-first approach — working intentionally with Ankara, Aso Oke, and Akwete — and why choosing materials that are accessible, affordable, and locally grounded has always been central to her practice 🎨. Lisa reflects on empowerment as a natural extension of her work, her relationship with collection-making, and why every body of work feels like raising something new 💛. She shares how sustainability has been part of her process from the beginning, long before it entered global vocabulary 🌱. Tune in to Season 2, Episode 3 of Bridging the Gap to hear how her focus and instinct helped shape Nigerian fashion 🎧.
