The Designer

From cutting her mum’s African wrappers {Hollandis} and hand stitching them into outfits for her numerous dolls to hand stitching skirts
and other garments for fun in high school. With 5 years of experience in the fashion industry from interning for Wana Sambo as her personal assistance to assisting ad styling fashion shows like the ECOWAS fashion week lead to the birth of her brand MxDonna.
Her inspiration is drawn from everything African and Vintage, designing clothes full of expression, the sensuality of a woman, and freedom of movement. Translating the roots and tradition of her motherland into an Urban-contemporary fashion statement.
