ABOUT US

Welcome to MANIA by Jennifer, a contemporary fashion house rooted in heritage, craftsmanship, and intentional design. Our name MANIA is inspired by the French word “manière”, meaning manner, style, or way — a fitting reflection of our mission to empower women through pieces that honour their unique way of being.

Our Story

MANIA by Jennifer was founded by designer Jennifer Akong, whose life has always been intertwined with the beauty of fabrics, tailoring, and cultural expression. Growing up surrounded by vibrant African textiles and generations of craftsmanship, Jennifer developed an eye for detail and a deep respect for tradition.

Driven by the desire to merge heritage with contemporary fashion, she created MANIA, a space where storytelling meets modern silhouette, and where every garment carries meaning, identity, and soul.

Our Philosophy

At MANIA by Jennifer, we believe fashion is more than clothing, it is lifestyle. It is history. It is personal expression.

What We Stand For

  • Heritage Reimagined
    We reinterpret timeless African textiles such as Aso-Oke, Ankara, and Adire into bold, modern pieces with global appeal.

  • Intentional Craftsmanship
    Every design is created with care, quality, and purpose. We produce in small batches, championing slow fashion and mindful creation.

  • Empowerment Through Style
    Our pieces are designed for women who are expressive, confident, and unapologetically layered, women who honour both their roots and their evolution.

  • Authenticity at the Core
    From our fabrics to our storytelling, we celebrate culture without compromise.

What MANIA Means

Derived from “manière,” MANIA speaks to style, manner, and personal essence.
To dress in MANIA is to dress in your own way — your rhythm, your story, your identity.
