Why Egungun? Mainly because of an experience of a parade of egungun on the street when founder and designer of TáWA was at that particular place in time, 2016 when she and her family visited Nigeria.

That's how her love and obsession started with Egungun. She then fell in love with the details, colours of the festival and was eager to learn more. Then she use it has an aspiration to inspire her degree collection.

The research definitely took her back to her childhood, but brought her close to her Africa culture, art, history and her root as a Yoruba woman.


The Nigeria's annual Egungun festival is a centuries old Yoruba tradition, and one of the most colourful cultural celebrations in West and Central Africa.


The word "Egungun" is sometimes translated literally as "bone" or "skeleton." This is probably the result of a misunderstanding of the correct tone, since Yoruba is a tonal language. When the word is pronounced with the correct tone, it means "masqueraders."


It is believed to help develop trade and commerce and generally bonds the people of Yorubaland together regardless of their religious beliefs

Find your elegance is all about restoring creativity and being your AUTHENTIC self. The collection is influenced by s/s 2019-20 Egungun collection. Reason is because during the 1st lockdown when we were on sure what was happening and as we witnessed the world change beyond recognition as this invisible virus destroyed everything we know and love. 

During all this time of confusion and uncertainty, designer and creative director decided to create "Find Your ELEGANCE" collection. Which represents adding to value to what we have, old and making it new elegant and fun. When the whole world was on a stand still, the pandemic got TáWA revisit, redesign and recreate just to show hope is not lost and we can still look and feel amazing.

As many also experienced, Covid has flipped everything upside down. For the designer it meant going from side hustle and full to brim creative experiments with amazing materials and working on getting the collection ready.

There is one thing in all of this that stayed the same. Her vision, which she continued to use creatively as a force for positive change for HER.

She is a Little all over the Place that's for sure. But the good News is that when She Loved. SHE Loved big and if she loved you. You KNew SHe Loved You. You Never Had to Wonder. Someone who chooses to acknowledge & appreciate herself for the choices today!

She's bold, She's confident, She's elegant, She's got self-love. She is YOU.... You are HER!
