Deola Sagoe is a celebrity Nigerian fashion designer. I call her this because she has now become a celebrity icon in Nigerian fashion industry. She started designing in 1998 and received practically no support from her wealthy father. Currently, she now has a thriving fashion designing business called House of Deola Sagoe situated in Lagos with over 20 foreign staff (Chinese) and has won numerous awards including her participation at the just concluded New York Fashion week.

She works with native Nigerian fabrics like “Adire” and “Aso Oke” in designing most of her clothes. She is one of the most influential tailors in Nigeria with extensive client base within and outside Nigeria.

In a recent interview with Al Jazeera, Deola says; “my father told me if i have any idea how much i will make selling cars compared to selling clothes? But if that is what you want to do, then count me out. I will not be involved. So my solo journey began.”

Her father started making money when he got his first job as a Toyota sales man back in 1971. He did a record sale of 40 cars in 4 weeks. 6 years later he took over the Toyota franchise in Nigeria. And since then, he never looked back!He is currently one of the biggest investors in Nigerian Tourism Industry. He wanted her to take work with him and one day take over his business empire but she stubbornly declined.

Now, House of Deola Sagoe is the number one go-to by who is who in Nigeria for clothes designs and Her dresses can cost as much as N700,000 (per one). WOW!

Her father practically told her she was wasting her time doing this business and when she starts winning awards, he became proud of her and recently, he admittedly said he never knew that “this was her calling”.

This has proved that if you have a dream, don’t let anyone stop you. And with proper dedication and hard work, you will excel. For upcoming fashion designers, Deola Sagoe is one icon worth emulating.

Not beefing her or anything , her success would have been influenced by contacts from her family's connection. Even with the connections she would still need to have that business acumen only very few have so I still give her respect to turn her dreams to reality.

I heard Zizi Cardow's dresses are just as expensive. If you see the pricetags on Nigeria's A list designers, you'll almost grasp for air. I can never spend that much on clothing no matter how much I acquire.

So Deola said her father never supported her dreams yet she had a massive showroom in her father's Elizade plaza as far back as late 90s when she started out. People like to add a little jaara to their stories to make it more interesting.

Maybe she started in the 20s, and her father didn't support her until the 90s.

She hustled, by herself, for 70 years.

dangote gat enough but he will never spend 700k on a single dress.

Only stolen money can be spent lavishly like that

As if you know dangote's indulgence. There are tailors for the masses and there are tailors for the rich. Taste differs!

Op just because Aljazeera News Network showed her biography yesterday una nor go allow person hear word again. Her Billionaire father who is Incharge of Toyota Motors Sales Nationwide support her jorrr. But I like the woman for her simplicity and passion for what she does for a living even when her father wanted her to forget about Tailor and join the family business. What really got my attention to watch the documentary was when her father was being interviewed on how he got to where he is right now, a billionaire!. From the way the man spoke, it seems simplicity runs in his blood. I go like work for that man I swear

I trust Dangote. Though very rich, knows the value of money, and would think twice before patronizing her(to buy a dress for his wife)
It's made of black.

Typical Yoruba woman. She would rather employ Chinese to his Yoruba sisters even though she's going to pay the Chinese at least twice the average salary. It cannot happen in any Igbo coy. When Igbos make money anywhere in the world, they go back home to pick their brothers and give him a chance to succeed but Yorubas, nah! they hate themselves like plagues even though they won't admit it.

Very funny set of Omo Odua. grin
