The Story

Who is THE TAILOR?

To cut

“Taliare” means to cut. A tailor never dies, never fades, nor stops handling threads.

Fine. Make we cut.

The designer came with sketches, trends, and talk.

The designer will show you a sketch.

Tailor or designer?

One imagines the sketch. The other fits your body.

  1. Measures the market.

    Measures you.

  2. Works from his sketchbook.

    Works from your body.

  3. Talks to the brand.

    Talks to you, one-on-one.

  4. Plans next season.

    Shortens your sleeve. Adjusts your suit. Sews your wedding agbada.

Me? I do both.

Who is THE TAILOR?

“I create my stitches, and they obey me.”

I remain THE TAILOR. Full stop.

My currency

My currency is not naira. Not gold.

It’s everything life puts in my path.

I am THE TAILOR.
