In the heart of the UK, where cultures blend and individuality finds voice, one Nigerian designer is leading a quiet revolution—through bold fabrics, powerful silhouettes, and stories sewn into every seam. Meet Anuoluwapo Apanisile, the creative force behind Ennystyles, a fashion brand redefining African elegance for Nigerians in the diaspora.
Anuoluwapo’s recent Ennystyles Fashion Show wasn’t just an exhibition of clothes—it was a movement. A celebration of culture, confidence, and the unstoppable spirit of African creativity. Every collection told a story, and every model walked the runway with purpose. Below, we journey through her latest collections—each paired with vivid imagery that brought her designs to life.
Denim Revolution: Where Street Meets Royalty
With “Denim Revolution,” Ennystyles challenged everything we thought we knew about denim. The collection turned everyday fabric into an emblem of bold expression and regal flair. One standout piece featured a cropped jacket with gold buttons—structured, chic, and unapologetically powerful—paired with high-waisted wide-leg jeans that flared with effortless grace.
The magic was in the details: rolled cuffs, a confident model stance, and denim reimagined not as casual wear, but as couture. This collection wasn’t just fashion—it was a bold call to own your style, your story, your space.
The Abstract Chronicles: Fashion as Expression
In “The Abstract Chronicles,” Ennystyles invited the audience into a visual conversation—one stitched in black and white. This monochrome collection was more than striking—it was symbolic. The abstract prints mirrored life’s chaos and clarity, beauty and imbalance, strength and softness.
A cropped top with dramatic sleeves, paired with a high-waisted skirt and knee-high boots, brought the perfect blend of edge and elegance. As the model strutted down the runway, the room hushed—this wasn’t just fabric, it was poetry.
Blossom in Bold: Softness with a Roar
This collection stood out—both visually and emotionally. Inspired by the resilience of flowers blooming through concrete, “Blossom in Bold” celebrated feminine strength through unexpected contrasts.
A blue-on-white floral satin shirt with dramatic puff sleeves stole the spotlight. Paired with fitted black trousers that flared into blooming cuffs, the look was finished with a grand bow—equal parts elegance and power.
“This is more than a piece of clothing,” Anuoluwapo shared. “It’s a reminder that no matter where we are, we can blossom—boldly.”
Bold Harmony: Where Culture Meets Confidence
Rich Ankara met dramatic organza in “Bold Harmony”—a collection born from the beating heart of African heritage. Red, purple, turquoise, and yellow danced together in purposeful harmony, creating looks that were not just beautiful, but powerful.
One model stunned in a sculpted bodice and flowing Ankara skirt, arms adorned with organza sleeves like wings in motion. The crowd was transfixed—not just by the colours, but by what they represented: a design firm with purpose, identity, and pride.
Blossoming Elegance: Fashion as Resilience
Soft pinks, vibrant florals, and dramatic silhouettes took centre stage in this final runway story. “Blossoming Elegance” was both delicate and defiant—a full pink tulle skirt paired with bold floral embroidery and striking black boots.
It was a collection for every woman who dares to be both strong and stylish, bold yet soft, modern but rooted in heritage.
Ennystyles: More Than Fashion
Anuoluwapo Apanisile describes Ennystyles as more than a brand: “This is the kind of artistry I want to bring to the world stage: deeply African, wildly creative, and fearlessly global.”
Every piece carries her identity, her culture, and her vision for Nigerian fashion abroad. For Nigerians in the UK, Ennystyles is a love letter—stitched in Ankara, written in bold colour, and read on runways.
From Naija to the UK and beyond, Ennystyles is shaping a fashion legacy that celebrates who we are, where we come from, and where we’re boldly headed.
✨ Spotlight: Golden Poise by Ennystyles
Ennystyles delivered another masterclass in elegance with Golden Poise—a strapless jumpsuit with gold-and-black patterns that seemed to tell stories of timeless grace and modern daring.
The oversized floral accent on the bodice? Simply iconic. The wide-legged trousers flowed like gold silk, and the model’s stance said one thing: “I’m not here to blend in.”
Golden Poise isn’t just a collection—it’s an experience. One that dares you to stand tall, be unique, and own your moment.
