IFFIZI, the label that blends bold design with cultural expression is billed to honor Fela’s enduring call to authenticity and resistance through fashion that moves as boldly as his music. IFFIZI features as a guest at the Dress Fela Fashion Competition to be held at, Freedom Park Lagos on Sunday, October 5.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of Felabration, the global festival that celebrates the life, music, and legacy of Fela Anikulapo Kuti. The theme is SHAKARA — a tribute to the maestro’s anthem of style, swagger, and uncompromising presence. True to that spirit, Abuja-based fashion house IFFIZI steps into the spotlight as a special guest at the Dress Fela Fashion Competition, unveiling its Spring/Summer 2026 collection: AFRO DISCO QUEENS.
IFFIZI’s signature ethos, Na Shakara, redefines what it means to dress with confidence and unapologetic flair. Known for bold tailoring, hand-dyed textiles, and a fearless embrace of African luxury, the brand fuses heritage with global appeal. For SS26, AFRO DISCO QUEENS channels the electricity of retro nightlife, Yoruba symbolism, and cosmic glamour into modern silhouettes. Think sculptural minis, flowing daywear, and statement evening looks — crowned with lightning bolts, starbursts, and cosmic eyes reimagined as emblems of strength and joy.
Sandra Alonge, IFFIZI Creative Director says “We are proud to celebrate Fela and honor his legacy. Na shakara forever”. Just as Fela fused rhythm and politics into a language of liberation, IFFIZI stitches culture, artistry, and self-expression into garments that speak across borders.
Felabration is not just about remembering Fela’s genius, but about living his ethos: daring to be seen, daring to be loud, daring to be free. With AFRO DISCO QUEENS, IFFIZI crowns women as icons of power, presence, and unapologetic style — carrying African creativity from Lagos to the global stage.
