It has been quite a year for this Nigerian fashion designer. Tiffany Amber started off her year with becoming the first Nigerian brand chosen as an ambassador of Luxury Connect Africa. It then exhibited at the launch of its maiden African Luxury Exhibition in Paris in January 2018. Then, Tiffany Amber had a successful presentation of her AW2019 collection at ARISE fashion Week headlined by supermodel, Naomi Campbell. And most recently, the brand opened a state-of-the-art boutique in Victoria Island, Lagos for its diffusion line, TAN by Tiffany Amber.

The TAN brand aims to be an accessible brand to girls and women across Africa while carrying on the heritage of anchor brand, Tiffany Amber. It mixes modern designs and culture with the creativity of our fast-growing continent by sourcing locally and partnering with indigenous African artisans to deliver authentic pieces. The vision for TAN is to exceed the continent of Africa and take its uniqueness to the world.
Ending on a high note, Folake Coker has been announced as a speaker at the 5th Annual Conde Nast International Luxury Conference in Cape Town. The announcement was made by Vogue International Editor, Suzy Menkes and will hold in April 2019. This year’s theme is ” The Nature of Luxury”.
Speaking on the achievements of her brand, Folake stated “this year has been a rollercoaster of greatness for Tiffany Amber. Every year, we keep reinventing ourselves in every way. This is not just to stand out to our very own beloved continent Africa. But to a wider audience across the world. On November 28th this year, Tiffany Amber would turn twenty (20). And we promise to continue to fly the Nigerian flag incredibly high to the rest of the world while we journey on to strengthening ourselves as an African Heritage Luxury Brand.”
