Not your average designer, Toluwaloju Olowofoyeku (better known by her fashion pseudonym Toju Foyeh). This formidable Nigerian woman took a different route, exchanging legal textbooks for lookbooks and making a name for herself in the thriving fashion industry there.
With a family rich in fashion, Toju's love of design took off at a young age. She did, however, first seek a career in law, graduating from the UK with an LLB and an LLM. Even though she excelled academically, the allure of fashion was too strong, and she eventually enrolled in Milan, Italy's esteemed Istituto Marangon. Toju proved her dedication to both endeavors by finishing her legal education after coming back to Nigeria.
As a company that values hard effort and originality, TF has designed celebrities such as Tiwa Savage,Kemi Adetiba, Agbani Darego, Betty Irabor, and Osas Ajibade, to name a few. The brand has also collaborated with South African style icon Bonang Matheba and other notable figures from South Africa, including Nomzamo Mbatha, the First Lady of South Africa, and Her Excellency Bongi Ngema-Zuma, among others.
