Lisa Folawiyo is a rather unassuming lady with a passion for fashion. Her keen eye for style partnered with a love for shiny objects has helped her create a line that is uniquely hers. Each piece she designs is lovingly tended to, with many of them featuring hand-sewn jewels.

Long-lauded as a designer to watch, she is a favorite with fashion aficionados who love the way she combines color, texture, and style into unique pieces that are worthy of any runway in the world. Specializing in Ankara clothing, she uses the designs exclusively and has an avid following. Her designs have been featured in the Arise Fashion Week, Paris Fashion Week, and New York Fashion Week, where they have been very well received.

The striking 23-year-old was discovered in the Accra casting earlier in the year. Her progress throughout this year’s season of M-Net’s Face of Africa has been a constant inspiration to viewers, who discovered earlier in the month that although Kate had auditioned for the search in 2006, she hadn’t qualified at the time because she needed to hone her talent and work on developing her physique.
