Hello from the heart and hands behind Styledbyzk! Every Styledbyzk piece is crafted with purpose, precision, and a deep love for African culture. Though our team is small, each member brings their unique energy and dedication, making every design a labor of passion.
Our Creative Director and founder, Zainab Kolawole (styledbyzk), leads the way, turning inspiration into the stylish, vibrant designs that define our brand. Zainab’s talent for merging tradition with modernity brings each collection to life. Collaborating with her is Nancy Oyinlola, a powerhouse in production who ensures that every vision is realized with the utmost quality and detail.
Anuoluwapo Sobanke, our dedicated manager, oversees everything from fabric sourcing to managing our tailors and ensuring that all designs meet the high standards of Styledbyzk. Her hands-on approach keeps our production running smoothly and ensures that every piece reflects the brand’s commitment to excellence.
We also work closely with local artisans across Nigeria: our Adire textiles come from talented creators in Egba, Abeokuta, our Aso-oke from skilled weavers in Ibadan, and vibrant Ankara fabrics sourced from Nigerian markets. Supporting these artisans is central to our mission, as it enables us to create fashion that not only celebrates but sustains our culture.
Each Styledbyzk piece tells a story of collaboration, culture, and craftsmanship. Our team’s work extends beyond fashion—it’s about uplifting local communities, supporting sustainable production, and empowering the talented individuals behind the scenes. Every piece we create, we do so with you in mind, knowing that by wearing Styledbyzk, you’re joining us on this journey.
We’re excited for the future as we look to expand our ethical partnerships, create even more inclusive designs, and see our collections reach every corner of the world. Thank you for being part of our journey. With each piece you wear, you’re carrying forward the legacy and dreams of Styledbyz
