Chief (Mrs.) Victoria Folashade Thomas-Fahm is Nigeria’s first fashion designer and the first to own a boutique (Shade’s Boutique) in Nigeria. The legendary designer who is in her 70’s now set the pace for the Nigerian fashion industry in the 1960s and 1970s.

Mrs. Sade Thomas-Fahm acquired training abroad at St. Martin’s College of Fashion in London. Her trademark was using traditional fabrics to create diverse styles. She didn’t just stop at designing clothes; she drafted, cut, sewed, modelled, produced fashion shows and sold; which led to her owning the first boutique in Nigeria.

Her design outfit and store, Shade’s Boutique was the go-to-place for men and women living in Lagos in the 60’s and 70’s. Mrs. Shade Thomas-Fahm is the originator of the “boubou” – a style she created when she “feminized” the male ‘agbada’ for women by reducing the volume. Some of her creations also include: Kaftans, Aso-oke dresses, beaded shoes, Ankara shirts and mini dresses as well as the twist on the “Iro and buba”. She also wrote a book titled “The Faces of She” which has a fair number of pictures of her early designs and the glamorous sixties.

The sword was thought to be taken during the British military expedition against Benin, the “Punitive Expedition”, in 1897. Benin had retained it’s independence during the 19th century with its imperial family keeping a monopoly on the trade of palm oil, rubber and ivory.
