“Honestly, this brand now feels more true to me, less like a playful concept I was still working on formulating,' says designer Teniola “Tia” Adeola.
“Girl From Ipanema” set the scene at the start of Nigeria-born, London-raised, and New York-based designer Teniola “Tia” Adeola’s fall 2020 runway show, her official solo debut at New York Fashion Week, a model walked down the runway at Spring Studios wearing a cerulean blue, ruffled and ruched gown, a bold cutout exposing a slim oval of skin spanning all the way from clavicle to navel.
Adeola first started making tulle pieces out of her Parsons dorm room under the name Slashed by Tia, and fashion-conscious celebrities took note—Gigi Hadid wore one a tangerine-colored one a few years back, and the likes of SZA and Kali Uchis have since followed suit. With her new collection, though, the 22-year-old Adeola’s expanded her sheer, sexy universe.
Adeola’s changed her brand name to reflect this more ambitious, expanded vision for her designs. “This collection was my first big step in terms of elevating the fabric sourcing itself,” Adeola says. She sourced them all from Dubai and New York, and she worked with local artisans in Lagos, Nigeria, to learn different ways of creating garments. “Honestly, this brand now feels more true to me, less like a playful concept I was still working on formulating.
