Vivendii's Top Spots In Lagos
Vivendii's Top Spots In Lagos
Modus Vivendii translates to “our way of living” in Latin and was originally formed as a blog showcasing the style of three young Nigerians. They credit Vogue Italia’s late editor-in-chief Franca Sozzani for encouraging the trio to kickstart their brand (they have a t-shirt dedicated to her for their Fall 2017 collection.) Their main aim since transitioning has been to pay homage to their Nigerian roots - “with Vivendii, we want to shine major light on the burgeoning creative scene in Nigeria - especially Lagos," and member Jimmy Ayeni explains, “this in turn, motivates us to put out the highest level of product possible.”
Today Vivendii can be described as Vogue endorsed street couture that bridges the gap between high fashion and streetwear. These are their top spots in Lagos.
