Meet The very unique Asake Oge clothings

AsakeOge Couture was founded by Asake Agoro from Nigeria. The Label was launched  February 2009 at the London Metropolitan Fashion and Dance Charity Show when she was  invited to come up with a collection for the fundraiser.

A 3rd generation seamstress, growing up around the creative energy in a couture household  enabled her to design and make garments for herself from the age of 15. She honed an  innate skill by producing one-off pieces that soon drew the attention of those around her  who requested to have garments made for them.

The inspiration behind the designs comes from her roots and the couture collection features  exotic African animals and scenery hand painted with jewel embellishments. The ready to  wear collection features cutting edge designs in bold prints and tailored silhouettes with the  ethnic influence apparent. The Asakeoge label offers made to measure services for  occasion and everyday wear.

The garments are handmade by Asake or manufactured using mostly silk, cotton and linen  which are natural fabrics. The limited edition ready to wear is a solution to the fashion  victim who finds it easier to follow high street trends as AsakeOge instead designs and  produces original, contemporary pieces that set the trend. As well as being available online,  bespoke services are also offered for that one-off outfit you need to stand out in the crowd

 Asake herself says, “My passion for individuality is apparent in every work I create, for me  the wow-factor is non negotiable in my hand made garments. I love to enter a room and  make heads turn.”

The ready to wear draws from her couture roots with exaggerated shoulders, cinched waists  and sharp silhouettes. It celebrates the classic feminine hourglass shape with a hint of the  tribal.
