Talents in the 'Hood.

As we go about our everyday lives, we meet different people from different spheres of life, and when you're in the fashion world, you'd get to meet a lot more people if you've got the right connection.

In my short time being a tailor, I've met more people than I would have if  I was doing something else- there are people who love clothes, see what I do and choose me to be the one who helps to keep their skin nicely covered!

Ok, so I met Nacha...


She's a sister to one of my customers and we met when I had to make them dresses for their sister's wedding. We got talking and I found out she's a fashion photographer and she came up with the idea of we doing something together... she says "Foluso, I'd like to do a photoshoot, come along with a good piece and I'd be inviting my other friends in the industry, these are people who live around as well.''


I decided to go with this colour-block dress I made a while ago since I didn't know the particular model coming and thought it shouldn't pose a fitting problem. So we all came together- the photographer, models, bag-maker and me, the dress-maker, representing our 'hood Festac town and this is what we came up with... enjoy!
