Teni, SHUSHI Team Up on  New Eyewear Collection

In a captivating fusion of music and fashion, Nigerian music sensation Teniola Apata (MON), popularly known as Teni, has joined forces with Abuja-based designer SHUSHI to introduce a limited-edition eyewear line, SS23: SHUSHI x Teni.

With a global release of only 200 pieces, the SS23: SHUSHI x Teni collection showcases two exclusive designs named “Makanaki’’ and “Sugar Mummy.” The “Makanaki’’ frames, inspired by Teni’s iconic moniker, feature chic rectangular styling with moulded nose pads for enhanced comfort, UV protection, and dark-tinted lenses. These frames are exclusively available on the SHUSHI website and at select 41 Luxe stores in Abuja and Lagos. On the other hand, the “Sugar Mummy” designs make a bold fashion statement while prioritizing eye protection. Crafted as unisex pieces, they boast steel metallic frames and UV-protected lenses.

Teni expressed her excitement about the collaboration, emphasizing how SHUSHI’s style perfectly aligns with her aura. She noted her admiration for SHUSHI’s designs, dating back to when she received the pink coral Alté pair from their inaugural collection in 2019.

Founder Aisha Sambo shared her enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating, “We’re thrilled to be working with Teni on this collection. It’s been in the works for some time now, and this collaboration is inspired by both our cultural heritage and the fun-loving spirit of young African creatives. Teni is a true street fashion icon, the original sugar mummy of the world. We’re honoured to have her as part of our brand and to be a part of her story now.”

Notably, the SS23: SHUSHI x Teni collection made its debut on the silver screen through Teni’s latest music video, “Lanke.” In the vibrant video, the eyewear pieces adorn the faces of female models, enhancing the overall burst of colour and personality.
