“Our Creativity and Love for Fashion Inspired MARYMAII” – Jenifer and Jessica Danjuma

They maybe be new to the game but they bring on the best the industry has seen in a while. Jessica and Jenifer Danjuma who are co-founders of luxurious ready to wear line MARYMAII are gradually taking over the Nigerian fashion scene with their breath taking designs and stylish wears.

We had a chat with the founders and they were to happy to tell us how they started out and what they are currently working on.

What inspired you to become a fashion designer?

We have always been creatively inclined but we fell in love with fashion around the age of 16. We had a massive vogue collection and really enjoyed fashion blogging and vintage shopping at the time. We knew we were going to work in fashion but it was only after we saw a lack of what we liked to wear in stores paired with the fact that there was still a gap for stylish, good quality, affordable yet luxurious ready-to-wear clothing in Nigeria that we saw it as a great idea to design our own line.

Once we developed knowledge about the business of Fashion and the creation of designs from concept sketch to a fully rendered garment we launched MARYMAII.
