About Us

Founded in 2019 by Zainab Kolawole, Styledbyzk was born from a deep love for African prints and a desire to make them a daily fashion staple. Growing up, Zainab observed how traditional fabrics like Aso-oke and Ankara were reserved for special events, always accompanied by the question, “What’s the occasion?” Inspired to change this perception, she launched Styledbyzk to make African fashion a staple in the modern wardrobe, blending cultural heritage with contemporary style.

Our Mission

At Styledbyzk, our mission is to ensure that every woman, regardless of race, can effortlessly incorporate African elements into her personal style – even through the smallest details. We envision a future where African inspired fashion becomes everyday staple, no longer reserved for special occasions, but embraced globally. We’re committed to making African clothing accessible in everyday wardrobes and available on international retail platforms.
