AVIVERE is a curated boutique fashion brand founded by Ijeoma Ogbechie in 2018, that collaborates with designers from a variety of African countries who present their different viewpoints and styles.  The exceptionally designed luxury fashions are of high-quality materials and elegantly juxtapose traditional and modern elements.  Ultimately, Ogbechie hopes to make African fashion more visible to the world.

“Now is the time for Africa to put the global spotlight firmly on its own designers,” Ogbechie tells BLK Oceans. “One way to do it is by educating the global fashion consumer and making it easy for them to access designs that provide a perspective of the continent that is rarely ever seen or heard.”

AVIVERE offers beautiful suits, dresses, blouses, blazers, pants, jumpsuits, totes, and clutches.  Gift cards are also available.  Popular items include the Delta Skirt by Sukeina and the Ex-Lapel Suit by Emmy Kasbit, which is an updated take on the traditional pantsuit using traditional cowry as buttons.  Not only does this brand provide an opportunity to view Africa’s booming fashion industry, it also promotes emerging African designers.

 

Glamor, luxury, and richness of style are hallmarks in the innovative designs.  There is graceful elegance in all that AVIVERE offers whether worn for work, evening, or leisure.  Through their network, AVIVERE has built a collaborative community of fashion designers and clientele that help to redefine and revolutionize the perception of African fashion in this modern time.
