It’s equal parts dreamy, wearable, and unapologetically feminine.

There’s a special kind of magic that happens when a beloved fashion brand reinvents itself, and Nigerian label Fablane by Derin has done just that with its recent transformation into Derin Fabikun. The rebrand signifies a meaningful evolution for the brand and it’s a full-circle moment for Creative Director Derin Fabikun, reflecting both personal growth, a renewed vision for the future and a bold new era for the label known for its sleek silhouettes, flattering cuts, and signature blend of sophistication and ease.

To mark the occasion, Derin Fabikun is launching an 11-piece capsule collection titled Life on the Fablane, and trust us, it’s every bit as fabulous as the name implies.

Think of this drop as a love letter to evolution. “This collection is so close to my heart,” says Fabikun. “It carries pieces of me. My favorite textures, shapes, and moods.” From statement lace looks to soft yet structured tulle and crepe dresses, Life on the Fablane offers up the kind of versatility that’s become increasingly rare in ready-to-wear. The vibe? Elevated, personal, and effortlessly chic.

Each piece is designed with multiple occasions in mind. Perfect for wedding season, birthday brunches, or just those days when you want to romanticise your everyday errands. The standout detail? The bust construction. It’s intricate, architectural, and rooted in the designer’s love of old-school tailoring, translated for the modern woman.

“This is accessible elegance,” says Fabikun. And she means it. While the collection oozes luxury with its use of Chantilly lace, silk taffeta, and velvet, the price point remains squarely in the realm of attainable. It’s luxury you can live in—something BellaNaija Style readers have always gravitated toward.

The 11 looks—ranging from ethereal two-pieces to slinky floor-grazing gowns—are tailor-made for those looking to invest in timeless pieces with a twist. They’re stylish without shouting, wearable without compromising design, and most importantly, made for real women with real lives.

If you’ve followed Fablane by Derin over the years, this new chapter will feel both exciting and familiar. The DNA is still there, structured lines, soft drama, a flirtation with romance but now with a more personal, grounded take on femininity.
