Nigerian designer, Lisa Folawiyo just knows how to play with style, hence her Instagram feed is more than just full of perfect pictures of her personal fashion items – it’s food for the stylish soul.

4. When Ms Folawiyo Pulled Off the Perfect Pleated Skirt
Striking gold with her silver pleated skirt, the designer let off some steam on a weekend day out, but still managed to slay in her most relaxed look yet.
First off, there were flats (she does don them occasionally) and there was also the addition of a loose-fit, printed shirt, thrown on for pure holiday vibes. But it was all taken to slay-levels with the metallic skirt, and here’s one you can buy to mix things up in your wardrobe;

Printed Shirt, £38 here

5. When Ms Folawiyo Did Pleats Again
So it seems Lisa knew she was onto a old thing with that first skirt, as she went out and copped the same one in gold. And thank God she did, because wow does she look good in it.
