Style Spotlight: Introducing Teeshogs Clothier

Today's Style Spotlight features Teeshogs Clothier, a chic laid-back Nigerian based line started by Taiwo Olushoga. Taiwo says her love for fashion design started in her university days, and spun out of a love to create unique pieces with a twist.
This is so fierce!!
Elegant stuff, right here

Really cute


Her most recent collection is inspired by African attire and her eagerness to play with local fabric from Abeokuta and Lagos, Nigeria such as adire, damask, ankara, chiffon and cotton. She says that this collection themed "Glamour Armour" was put together to introduce her label to the world. She revealed that one of her favorite pieces in the collection is the purple dress (pictured below).



Taiwo, who is currently doing her NYSC service says her fashion motto is "Simple is more". She explains that one does not need to be overexposed or wealthy to look stylish and beautiful. Teeshogs Clothier definitely embodies Taiwo's principle as her designs although trendy, still come across as simple and "not trying too hard".

On what kind of work environment she thrives in, the recent University of Lagos graduate said "I am leaning towards a creative because I do not have a shop so I work mostly from home and sometimes a friend's place". She also shared some of the challenges she faced such as financial constraints and a lack of time to commit to her line as she has a full-time job.

Taiwo says she has received great feedback and is really thankful to everyone who has believed in her. Putting God first, never forgetting where she came from and where she's going has brought her this far, she adds.
