From Fashion Dreams to Building a Fabric Design Company with Adebusola Ekoko Life in Brown

    • Careers

When we think about careers in the fashion industry, what often comes to mind are fashion designers, models and fashion photographers. But there are many other roles in this industry. I spoke with Adebusola Ekoko about launching Grapes Pattern Bank - a surface pattern business in Nigeria and designing prints for fashion brands such as Kemi Telford and Kai Collective.

Adebusola shared:


What her parents thought when she mentioned that she wanted to study fashion design at university
How she pursued a career in fashion after completing her under completing her undergraduate degree
The challenges in building a surface pattern design business in Lagos
What she loves most about running her business
The importance of prioritising client relationships
