Hello, my name is Solomon Ali, and I am the founder of OSEKA, a fashion brand that bridges creativity, culture, and commerce in the ever-evolving world of African style. With a deep appreciation for design, culture, and innovation, I founded OSEKA to create fashion that makes a bold statement while empowering individuals to express their true selves and embrace their unique identity. With a strong academic foundation in Strategic Project Management (MBA) from Edinburgh Napier University, I have merged strategic business insight with a creative vision to build a brand that celebrates African heritage through fashion. My journey in the fashion industry is driven by a combination of hands-on experience, a keen eye for emerging trends in Africa, and a commitment to sustainability and ethical practices.
At OSEKA, we are not just about creating clothes — we are about creating confidence. Our designs challenge conventions and bring fresh, forward-thinking perspectives to the fashion landscape. We honor the rich cultural tapestry of Africa while offering contemporary, stylish designs that resonate with the modern individual. Whether it's a bespoke suit, casual wear, or accessories, our pieces are crafted to inspire and allow you to showcase your personal style with pride. Our commitment to sustainability and ethical practices ensures that every piece we create not only celebrates African culture but also contributes positively to the environment and the communities we work with. We believe that fashion should be both beautiful and responsible, and through OSEKA, I aim to build a brand that reflects these values.
Thank you for joining us on this exciting journey. Together, let's redefine what it means to wear your heritage, and celebrate a future that is both rooted in tradition and bold in vision.
At OSEKA, our mission is to merge the vibrant heritage of African fashion with the dynamic and sophisticated world of British style, creating a fashion brand that embodies confidence, cultural pride, and forward-thinking design. Rooted in the heart of Nigeria and Africa, we aim to showcase the beauty, craftsmanship, and diversity of African fashion on a global stage, with a particular focus on making an impact in the United Kingdom. We are committed to bringing African tradition into the modern world, seamlessly blending bold prints, rich fabrics, and timeless craftsmanship with the contemporary, stylish aesthetics of the UK. Our designs reflect the strength, creativity, and individuality of African culture, while also embracing the global fashion trends that define today’s fashion landscape.
With a deep understanding of strategic business and cultural insight, we believe in creating fashion that not only speaks to the soul but also elevates the spirit of the wearer. From luxury bespoke tailoring to everyday wear, our garments are designed to empower individuals — particularly those in the African diaspora in the UK — to express their authentic selves with pride, while staying connected to their cultural roots. We also place a strong emphasis on sustainability and ethical practices, ensuring that our materials are sourced responsibly, and our production processes empower local artisans and communities. Through OSEKA, we aim to contribute to a fashion industry that values both style and responsibility. By creating a seamless blend of African and British fashion, OSEKA aims to redefine what it means to be a modern African man in the UK, and to pave the way for a fashion revolution that celebrates culture, creativity, and confidence.
