Based out of London, Nubian Skin was founded by Br Based out of London, Nubian Skin was founded by British-Nigerian entrepreneur, Ade Hassan, with the idea that it was time for ‘a different kind of nude’. Inspired by trailblazers like super model Iman who created Fashion Fair and Iman cosmetics, Ade wanted to create a lingerie brand with nude lingerie designed for black women of all hues. Her first campaign went viral, and orders from ASOS and Nordstrom quickly followed. Two years later, Beyoncé was wearing Nubian Skin for her “Formation” tour. Ade’s company emerged out of a genuine need and the result has been a series of explosive accomplishments. 🙌🏾
