Folafoluwa Oluwambo Afolabi is passionate about storytelling through fabric. With each stitch, he weaves tales of empowerment, resilience, and style. His love for designer clothing began at 16 when he started learning the art of dressmaking. As his designs gained attention, he was inspired to help women feel confident through their clothing. In 2018, he launched Gaze of Luxury, a sustainable luxury brand. Throughout his journey, Folafoluwa has celebrated key milestones, from graduating and moving into his first apartment to traveling the world and opening his first store in Lagos, Nigeria. Each experience fuels his creativity and deepens the purpose behind his designs. For Folafoluwa, Gaze of Luxury is more than fashion; it’s about expressing beauty and strength. Every piece is designed for the Gaze of Luxury woman, who embodies sophistication, elegance, and femininity.

Sustainability and Social Impact

Gaze of Luxury is committed to environmental responsibility. With millions of tons of textiles wasted annually, the brand strives to make a difference. Folafoluwa ensures that 90% of excess materials are repurposed into handcrafted home decor or unique wearable art. The brand also empowers skilled artisans, such as weavers and tailors, by providing training and fair wages. Additionally, 10% of net profits support adult education programs for women in low-income communities, fostering self-sufficiency.

At Gaze of Luxury, we redefine luxury fashion through bespoke designs and exceptional craftsmanship, creating personal and meaningful experiences for every client.
