A new fashion brand, 2006.MMVI, is set to re-awaken desire for luxury and style in Nigeria with a scheduled launch on Sunday, April 20, 2025.
2006·MMVI, according to Folakemi Obasunloye, the Founder and Creative Director, is set to open up a movement, where strength meets style and luxury in the world of fashion.
With the theme, ‘The Awakening: A 2006 Fashion Experience,’ the launch is scheduled to showcase select pieces from the debut collection and introduce the 2006 brand to the public, media, and fashion influencers while sharing the inspiring story behind the brand – the triumph over adversity and the birth of inner royalty.
The brand is positioned to become Nigeria’s foremost fashion house that empowers and celebrates individuality, regality, and resilience.
Borne out of strength and vision, 2006·MMVI stands tall as a fashion label with a wearable story. According to the creative director, ‘Every stitch, silhouette, and fabric choice is deliberately created to make the wearer feel extraordinary, regal, and fully aligned with their power. From structured statement pieces to fluid expressions of presence and strength, this collection refuses to whisper. It reigns.”
On the distinctive name of the fashion brand, Obasunloye said, “2006·MMVI draws its name from a year of deep personal transformation—2006, a moment in time that birthed not just life, but purpose. That same essence now fuels the spirit of every piece created under the MMVI label. At its core, the brand is a tribute to resilience, rebirth, and royalty. Each piece is designed to awaken the inner monarch in its wearer—a celebration of triumph, grace, and unapologetic presence.”
