MAXIMALISM!
I first met Autumn Adeigbo 10 years ago when we both attended ARISE Fashion Week in Lagos, Nigeria. She was one of the many talented US designers that were there to present their collections.
Today she has achieved an historical feat: she is the first fashion brand led by a female, Black designer to raise more than $1 million in venture capital funding!
“The past 24 months have been filled with over 200 meetings with investors, nearly a thousand follow-up calls, and even more meetings after that…” she shares in an interview with Crunchbase.
Her Nigerian heritage and maximalist aesthetic is what makes Adeigbo’s accessories stand out.
Tenacity + Talent = THE next brand to watch!
CONGRATULATIONS AUTUMN!
