Joy Meribe
In 2017, Nigerian-born, Italian-based designer Joy Meribe founded the label Modaf Designs with her businesswoman colleagues in mind (she has a master's degree in international business). Her eponymous brand combines classic Italian silhouettes with decorative designs and fabrics that give a nod to her Nigerian roots. For her most recent collection, Meribe collaborated with bespoke Italian tailoring house San Andres and Como-based silk mill Taroni to create chic, regal looks that transcend time and place. Bonus: a portion of the proceeds from sales of the capsule will benefit a scholarship program for young women in Nigeria.
