I’m Anu Kolawole, founder of AnnexKayClothing — a UK-based African fashion and lifestyle brand rooted in Lagos. With over 10 years in graphic design and photography, I create bold, culturally inspired pieces that blend African identity with modern style, refined craftsmanship, and a strong editorial point of view.
From the stage to the streets, I believe art is most powerful when it serves people. My practice is rooted in collaboration, cultural honesty, and the courage to push boundaries while staying grounded in purpose.

Each line is art-directed as a world of its own — distinct in mood, silhouette, and cultural symbolism.
A culture-inspired streetwear line featuring hoodies, t-shirts, bomber jackets and more. Designed for everyday expression using bold African prints.
A regal collection inspired by African cowrie shells, featuring bold statement pieces designed to reflect power, heritage and identity.
The work is not only worn — it is staged, framed, and composed with the authority of an editorial story.
Photography informs the way each garment is framed, worn, and remembered — cinematic, poised, and culturally resonant.
Custom print language and graphic composition bring identity, distinction, and brand clarity into every collection.
Each piece is shaped with care, precision, and finish — built to hold presence up close and from across the room.
Ankara, wax, and Aso-Oke are reworked with a modern eye to preserve heritage while pushing form forward.
From custom silhouettes to styling guidance, each service is shaped with intimate attention and editorial clarity.
