History

The Nigerian Eponymous brand Funke Adepoju, previously known as Phunk Afrique, was birthed in 2008[1] by creative director Olufunke Adepoju.

Early Career

As a student at Igbinedion University,  Olufunke began dabbling in design by re-purposing and reconstructing old t-shirts and skirts for her classmates. Using beading and embellishments, she was able to give new life to what were once old clothing items. In 2005, Funke presented her original pieces for the first time at a networking event in Lagos. Phunk Afrique’s first collection, ‘With Love From Lagos’ was released in 2008[1] and consisted of bespoke pieces for women. Months after the release, the brand extended its arms into Ready-To-Wear and experimented with children's’ clothing. In 2009, Phunk Afrique won the City People award for Best Designer of the Year. Also in 2009, the designer opened her first showroom in Lagos[2].

Rebranding

In 2015, Phunk Afrique rebranded and changed the brand name to Funke Adepoju[3]. As the label grew, the target market grew and Olufunke new that she had to find a way to cater to all clients. Phunk Afrique became the diffusion line of the brand while Funke Adepoju caters to bespoke pieces.

Fashion Shows

Over the years, the brand has proudly showcased its collections at:

- MTN Lagos Fashion & Design Week 2011[4]- ARISE Fashion Week 2012[5]- GTB Lagos Fashion and Design Week 2014[6]- Heineken Lagos Fashion and Design Week 2015[7]- ARISE Fashion Week 2018[8]
