Teni, the popular Nigerian singer and songwriter, has recently teamed up with SHUSHI, a luxury eyewear brand, to launch a limited-edition collection of sunglasses. The collaboration is part of Teni’s ongoing effort to promote African fashion and culture.
On working with Teni on this project, the founder of SHUSHI, Aisha Sambo, said,
We’re thrilled to be working with Teni on this collection. It’s been in the works for some time now, and this collab is inspired by both our cultural heritage and the fun-loving youthfulness of young African creatives. She’s a true street fashion icon—the original sugar mummy of the world. We’re honoured to have her be a part of our brand, and we’re a part of her story now.
The collection consists of two styles of sunglasses, each of which is inspired by Teni’s unique style and personality. “Sugar Mummy” and Makanaki,” and only 200 pieces of these are available worldwide.
Inspired by Teni’s OG nickname “Makanaki”.
According to the brand:
“Sugar Mummy is the essence and bridge between masculine and feminine energy. We envision the owner of this limited edition piece as an independent individual, finding balance while still being celebrated in their community as someone with a strong sense of self. It’s time to burst out of your bubble to create opportunities for a lifetime, spreading happiness and love.”
Teni’s collaboration with SHUSHI is a great example of how African fashion can be celebrated and promoted. The collection is stylish, affordable, and reflective of Teni’s own personal style. It is a great way to show support for African fashion and culture, and it is sure to be a hit with fans and fashion enthusiasts alike.
TENI and SHUSHI’s collar collection is now available for purchase at shushiofficial.com and in stores in 5 colours (black, white, pink, green, and blue) at their stocklist with 41 Luxe in Abuja and Lagos.
