SSK.HQ: Lagos, From Every Angle
by Benjamin Unah
·
SSK.HQ isn’t trying to be loud for attention — it’s speaking clearly, intentionally, and with purpose. Created in 2024, the brand operates from a place of consciousness, using fashion as a medium for storytelling and social commentary. At its core, SSK.HQ is about perspective: how we see society, how we move through it, and how those experiences translate into what we wear.

Their debut collection, Lagos – Your View, sets the tone. Rather than presenting Lagos as a single narrative, the collection documents the city through multiple lenses. Busy, chaotic, beautiful, exhausting, inspiring .
Lagos exists as all of these things at once. Through collaboration with creatives, SSK.HQ captured these contrasting realities, turning lived experiences into garments that feel personal yet collective.

This first release isn’t a conclusion; it’s an introduction to the brand’s ethos and a clear statement from the headquarters.

Behind SSK.HQ is Socius Select By Kasfol, a lifestyle fashion brand deeply rooted in meaning. The name itself carries the philosophy: Socius translates to friends or society, while Select draws from the Nigerian phrase “bend down select” — a nod to thrift culture and Kasfol’s origin into fashion. Together, the name represents community, choice, and intention.
Every piece is designed to express a thought, an observation, or a question posed by Kasfol to society at large.

This approach has positioned SSK.HQ as more than just a clothing brand. It’s a space where fashion becomes wearable commentary. From tie & dye designs to painted wearable art, the brand’s work explores texture, colour, and form as tools of expression. Jackets, pants, shirts, hoodies, skirts, shoes, and accessories become canvases. Some stocked, others created strictly on a custom-made basis to align with a client’s personal moodboard or illustration.

The Wearable Art segment pushes this further. While painted pieces remain central, SSK.HQ continues to experiment with patchwork, tufting, and mixed techniques, blurring the line between fashion and art. Custom-made orders allow clients to become part of the creative process, reinforcing the brand’s belief in individuality and shared storytelling.
SSK.HQ’s growing presence is already reflected in its community. Worn by artists and tastemakers such as Omah Lay, Skales, Tempoe, and Zinoleesky, the brand has steadily carved out its place within contemporary African fashion ;not through trends, but through substance.

At its heart, SSK.HQ is a lifestyle brand built on identity, stories, and consciousness. Every product carries intention. Every collection speaks. And with Lagos – Your View, the brand invites you not just to wear the city, but to see it — from your own angle.
