EMAK COUTURE
|
Tunde Akinola |
Emak’s Couture is an emerging cross-cultural fashion outfit
based in Nigeria. Founded by its leading and head designer Tunde Akinola,
Emak’s Couture was established as a full fledged fashion outfit. Emak’s Couture
has been playing in the fashion home industry for over half a decade where it
began by building its reputation as a freelance design affiliate to a host of
forerunners in the sector. In the face of the very huge and/or overwhelming
demand from the fashion consumer market, Emak’s had to reposition itself as an
independent outfit since it was imperative that the largely patronized
forerunners sought the expertise of specialized hands to handle delicate areas
of clothing design and development. This way the couture industry has continued
to grow & expand steadily, while upcoming fashion brands such as Emak’s
have continued to assert themselves competitively as good brands and
significant players.
