KHALA WHITNEY RETURNS WITH NEW BRAND “SELECT LAVA” AND VLOG SERIES

Khala Whitney is back in Lagos and relaunching her fashion label under a new name SELECT LAVA. In the first episode of her new YouTube vlog series From Lagos, With Love, she gives a full look into her creative process, her personal journey, and what to expect from the brand going forward.

The video, a  vlogumentary like she called it , follows her around Lagos as she prepares for the relaunch. She’s seen visiting stores, meeting with her team, and reflecting on why she started designing in the first place. The visuals and the voiceover makes the blog feel personal and intentional.

Lava replaces her original brand Grayscale, which went viral years ago. In the video, she talks about feeling pressure to live up to that moment, but also wanting to create a new story that’s more grounded in purpose. Select Lava, according to her, is about vision, wellness, and doing things with full intention.

This relaunch positions Khala not just as a designer, but as a storyteller documenting the highs and lows of starting over. With Lagos as the backdrop, Lava is shaping up to be a brand with global reach and deep local roots.
