Just recently, Ikeji shared a photo of black heeled crocs designed by high-end brand, Balenciaga.

Lisa Folawiyo in 'telephone wire' designer shoes
Unlike several other Nigerian designers who often take the back seat and let their customers take the shine in their designs, Lisa Folawiyo is not afraid to slay in the spotlight.
The top Nigerian designer and brains behind Jewel by Lisa stays topping the trend lists - just like the fashionistas who patronize her.
Just recently, Lisa shared photos of herself in one of the designs from her SS22 collection. To accessorize her look, she rocked a pair of designer shoes.
The shoes aren't just from any designer but Bottega Veneta, one of the top luxury brands in the world.
