Designer and Director of the name sake brand, Abigail Ajobi graduated in 2019 from UAL's London College of Fashion with previous study at Central Saint Martins. She later went on to establish the brand in 2020. Abigail Ajobi is luxury streetwear label with a mission to highlight uncomfortable issues through its print-based designs that contribute towards social awareness.
To encourage a more sustainable way of working, only limited quantities from dead stock fabrics is made and placement prints are not used which makes each piece unique to the individual. However, sustainability is not only in being ‘green’. Ajobi believes that Sustainability is the part you take to better your environment. This is why part of the total profit from each collection goes back to a charity related to the specific issue raised in each theme.
Since being founded in October 2020,
Abigail Ajobi been featured in Gaup magazine with other appearances including
Hunger mag, Tmrw magazine and FY Magazine's 'One To Watch'. Abigail Ajobi has
been awarded UAL’s Enterprise award for it's contribution to Sustainability and
Community empowerment as well as recently being short listed for the BFC's
NEWGEN award.
It is important for Abigail Ajobi as a brand and as a designer to be most sustainable
which is why her ‘convertible’ clothing functionality has been carried over
from our previous collections. This means many of her pieces can be worn in
multiple different ways, from shorts to full length trousers ect.
