biba kulture

Lagos-based Nigerian fashion designer Habibat Rufai's journey into fashion began with a deeply personal quest – the desire to create clothes that would make her feel confidently herself. Like many women, she had experienced the frustration of compromising between modesty and style, comfort and elegance. This quest led her to establish Biba Kulture, a brand that has become a beacon for women seeking to express themselves authentically through fashion. Each piece in her collection is a testament to her belief that women shouldn't have to choose between feeling comfortable and looking bold. Her designs seamlessly blend modest aesthetics with contemporary silhouettes, creating timeless pieces that speak to the modern woman's desire for both grace and strength. Beyond fashion, Biba Kulture is a movement. Recognizing the gender disparity in the tailoring industry, Habibat has made it her mission to create a safe and nurturing space for women to learn and excel in the art of tailoring. Her Lagos atelier serves as both a creative workshop and a training ground, where the next generation of female tailors can develop their skills without fear of judgment or discrimination. Through Biba Kulture, Habibat is not just designing clothes – she's crafting experiences and building a community where women can truly be themselves, one stitch at a time.
