Folake Folarin-Coker (born 1974) is a Nigerian fashion designer and creative director of Tiffany Amber.[1][2]

Early life and education

Folake was born in Lagos, Nigeria in 1974. After her education in Switzerland and the United Kingdom, she earned a postgraduate degree in petroleum law and returned to Nigeria to pursue her fashion interests.[3]

Career

Her fashion brand, "Tiffany Amber" was launched in Lagos in 1998. The brand has four stand alone stores and boutiques in Lagos and Abuja.[4] She has staged several fashion shows in Africa, Europe[5] and the United States.[6] In 2008, she made history as the first African-based fashion designer to stage a show twice at the New York Fashion Week. She was the first recipient of the "Designer of the Year" award at the African fashion week in Johannesburg in 2009 and was also awarded "Fashion Brand of the Year" at the ARISE Magazine Fashion week in 2011. In 2013, she received an Enterprise Award at the 2013 Women, Inspiration and Enterprise (WIE) Symposium[7] and made the Forbes Power women list.[8] She unveiled her 'Nirvana' spring/summer collections at DOII Designs launch.[9]

When asked if her father ever influenced her career in any way, Folake Coker said her father never influenced their career as his children but would direct them choices of career they decide to venture into.[10]
