Maison Iro

Team

Three cities. One house.

Maison Iro is run by people who have stood on shop floors and in family cutting rooms. The product is a studio. The work is keeping African cloth in African hands.

    Adjoa spent a decade building lookbooks for three family cloth houses on Oxford Street before she opened Maison Iro. She treats a fitting the way a banker treats a title deed — the image has to outlive the season.

    Kelechi ran the fitting room for a Yaba streetwear line that now sells in Johannesburg. He built the studio so a Balogun buyer can see cloth on a body before the bale is cut.
