Nigerian-born designer Lisa Folawiyo launched Jewel By Lisa in 2005. The haute hybrid line of retro-silhouette dresses and separates is part ethnic, part elegant, thanks to her clever use of vibrant Ankara cloth (an African fabric, with wax used to form patterns) mixed with Chantilly lace, taffeta and leather and embellished with Swarovski crystals, beads and sequins. This geo-print beaded silk blend top, $360, and hot pants, $295; at evesapple.com.
