All the prints are mine.
Ayo Abiola, founder, CEO and lead designer
Streetwear, activewear and swim in prints Ayo draws herself, many in recycled polyester.
The designer
Ayo Abiola draws every pattern from scratch. Her background is in biochemistry and neuroscience, and it shows in the prints: geometry, colour theory and architecture, worked into fabric.
She draws on her Nigerian heritage too. Beside the ready-to-wear collections she makes bespoke pieces under fayah couture, like the Aurelius woven jacket, its gold scrolls painted by hand.

Fashion Bomb Daily
Nine prints
Each collection starts as one of her artworks, then runs across a jacket, a legging and a bra.
Every print
What it is made of
Recycled polyester hoodies
Many of the hoodies are 95% recycled polyester with brushed fleece inside. Some zip hoodies carry GRS and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified fabric.
UPF 50+ swim
Swim, rash guards and some leggings, crops and shorts are cut from UPF 50+ fabric. Each listing says whether it is one of them.
Bombers and windbreakers
The bombers have brushed fleece inside and a silver YKK zip. The windbreakers are water-resistant polyester lined in breathable mesh.
