Ushering in a new subculture of fashion with her designs is 27-year-old Nigerian creative Mowalola Ogunlesi with her self-titled fashion brand Mowalola. Based in London, Ogunlesi is the brains behind ghetto punk fashion.

Ogunlesi had a great start to her fashion career as her parents and grandparents were also fashion designers. In an interview with Ssense, she said:

She then dropped out of Central Saint Martins after doing her Master of Arts for a year, explaining that the institution was too dated for her liking and lacked the kind of versatility that would allow a person of colour to evolve. In an interview with Kaleidoscope, she said: The collaboration made her a household name and her designs were at the forefront of a new generation of African identity. Through her sex-positive and gender-fluid designs, black people are seen in new and interesting ways. Her ghetto punk designs have been a pivotal component in de-stigmatising black aesthetics that have been perceived as violent and unprofessional.
