Lagos Fashion Designer, ALADUKEH Set To Hold Fashion Show

This is big news. It is the news that Aladukeh is set to hold a fashion show titled Russet The Bridal Collection 23, also tagged The Bridal Party in a few days.

And this beautiful lady behind the brand is excited about the show. A few days back, she told CityPeople about her plans and success story. Below are excerpts of the interview. Give it to her, she does brilliant designs.

Tell us about the Aladukeh brand...

Aladukeh is a Nigerian-based fashion brand. We specialise in female clothing. We do bespoke designs and also mass-produce ready-to-wear outfits. The showroom is located in the heart of Lagos, and we also design for women around the world; one thing about the brand Aladukeh is its versatility. We make bespoke outfits for every woman to suit their occasion. We also do custom-made outfits for men.

Why call your fashion brand Aladukeh?

The name Aladukeh came from my middle name, Aduke. Aduke means “the one everybody wants to care for”. So, I chose the name because I want to take care of every woman’s fashion needs around the world. The name is very personal to me it pushes me to build on the brand positively because it’s a reflection of me as a person.

What class of ladies do you design for?

I design for sophisticated ladies, ladies that dare to stand out, ladies that “CLASS” is their watchword when it comes to fashion.

The use of African prints occasionally also appeals to women who are not Nigerian, women of different skin colour around the world who want to identify with Africanism.

Your outfits usually take time to make. Why is this so?

Yes, anything that comes out of Aladukeh takes time because of its quality. The time put into my outfits is to give the best to my clients, I’m a very meticulous person, I pay attention to every detail and this has set me at the top creatively as one of the best in the Nigerian fashion industry. that comes out of Aladukeh takes time because of quality.

How did you become a fashion? Did you train for it?

 

Yes, I trained to become a fashion designer. First, it started as a hobby because I love to look outstanding always, so I decided to get trained, I was a graduate of Computer science at that time and into another business as well, but when people started to ask me who my designer is, I started to make clothes for people and gradually the brand came to be. Becoming a fashion designer is the most fulfilling thing I’ve ever done yet, it’s a reflection of me because I’ve always loved to play dress up since I was a child.

Fashion designing is my life and no matter which way life takes me to in future, fashion designing will still be something I will always do.  I trained to become a fashion designer.

Will this be her first fashion show?

My first fashion show was during Fadan Lagos Street Festival, but this is my first fashion show exclusively organized by Aladukeh and for Aladukeh.

This particular fashion show is to present a new line for the brand, “Bridal Collection”.

Will you still run your new bridal collection, side by side with your existing lines?

 

Absolutely. Versatility is still the watch work of the brand. Whatever your style is, we got you.
