It is run by Teddy Legbedion and Patrick Osaghae originally non-fashion graduates but with a cutting edge for afro centric style attitude. We have been able to carve a niche for ourselves in the highly competitive style industry. Blokes /n/ Divas has taken part in many successful international shows and presentations with ethical production as the guideline. Blokes /n/ Divas is a label which is highly inspired on the re-looking of cultural events, arts and folklore. We have been inspired from the vibrant colors in cultural events, the deep etched in nature and the ever changing colors of the seasons. It is more of an African rebirthing in our continual adaptation of western fabric to soothe African sartorial needs while still maintaining its proud African look.
