She presented a great collection at African Fashion & Design Week 2016 in Lagos. Grace Wallace is described by her hard work, professionalism and creativity. Her creations capture
modernity with a touch of African traditional twist.
“I can inspire people throughout my work, and that is very much important to send the right message out there about my vision of today’s fashion. I am also inspired by European fashion industry, overall, and I try to accommodate everyone.”
Wallace started by making use of loincloth wax, mixing it with chiffon, silk, rich Bazin, velvet, lace, sails and more. She now has a fashion studio in Africa designing effortless and wearable pieces inspired by shape, architecture, and color.
“I always look for beauty in all the outfits that I create and I always feel like an outfit can never be complete because there is always room for improvement. I draw a lot and I accompany my embroiderers and designers through the achievement to get the effect we want. Every piece has to be perfect and we, as a team, have to feel proud of our work first before we present it to the world. Perfection is at the core of our business and I am grateful for all the achievements, so far.”
