Joseph Ejiro’s FW26 Collection Celebrates ‘VEILLÉE’ of West Africa
By Dorothy Crouch, Contributing Writer | October 15, 2026
For Joseph Enright, the starting point for his Joseph Ejiro brand’s new collection was West Africa, where he grew up. Today, from Lagos, Nigeria, and Accra, Ghana, to Toronto and now San Diego, his global experiences have informed and inspired his collections, particularly the relationship between structure and softness. “I have always been fascinated by the way a garment can change someone’s presence,” avows the designer.
