Acclaimed Nigerian chanteuse, Teniola Apata (MON), professionally known as Teni, has partnered with Abuja-based creator Shushi to unveil a limited-edition eyewear collection dubbed, SS23: Shushi x Teni.

Featuring two limited edition pieces, the collection is a mix of Teni’s eccentric signature style and Shushi’s futuristic, minimalist aesthetic. SS23: Shushi x Teni features the Sugar Mummy and Makanaki designs, with only 200 pieces available worldwide.

Inspired by Teni’s popular moniker, Makanaki, these chic rectangular frames flourish with moulded nose pads for added comfort, UV protection, and dark-tinted lenses.

Officially retailing only via the Sushi website, shushiofficial.com, and at 41 Luxury stores in Abuja and Lagos, the creators disclosed that the Sugar Mummy designs were also designed to make a bold fashion statement while offering eye protection. The unisex pieces are also made to linger with its steel metallic frames and UV-protected lenses.

The award-winning singer noted that the collaboration with Shushi on the collection is an exciting one because they are a perfect fit for her style and aura.
She also noted that she has always been in love with Shushi’s designs when she was gifted the pink coral Alté pair from their first collection in 2019.

Interestingly, the SS23: Shushi X Teni connection collection debuted on the big screens through Teni’s latest music video, Lanke, which is a burst of colours and personality through which the classes stand out as they adorn the faces of female models.

“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 youthfulness of young African creatives.”

She’s a true street fashion icon, the original sugar mummy of the world. We’re honoured to have her be a part of our brand and us a part of her story now,” said the founder, Aisha Sambo.
