fashion design Portfolio
My portfolio features all of my work from my debut collection at the African Fashion Week Nigeria in 2019 to my graduating collection released at Seneca Polytechnic's Redefining Design 2024. My love for Fashion History motivated me to design my graduating collection, "Mademoiselle". This collection is a historical costume collection that features European fashion from the 17th to 18th century. I continue to be an advocate for sustainability in the fashion industry and I aspires to be a pioneer in the Nigerian fashion industry.
