The Managing Director of Eleganza Nigeria Limited, Dr. Shade Okoya, is not only an enigma in the boardroom, she has also found her place in fashion and sits comfortably among the leading style icons in Nigeria.
Known for her daunting pieces which exude wealth, elegance, and royalty, Okoya goes the extra mile to wow netizens and give some style inspiration.
To mark her 49th birthday recently, she engaged the services of a top fashion designer in Nigeria, Sandrah Tubobereni, the CEO of Tubo, who made a show-stopping yellow dress with silver designs for her.
While describing the birthday lady as her latest client, Tubo revealed that she got a private invitation to the expansive home of Mrs Okoya.
In her words, “It began with intention—a clear brief, a private invitation, and diamonds waiting patiently for their moment. One instruction: create something worthy. We answered in canary yellow. Fully beaded.
“Sculpted with precision. A silhouette designed to honour the woman—never compete with her. Every detail aligned. The colour. The craftsmanship. The form. Nothing forced. Nothing out of place. Inspired by a signature TUBO silhouette, reimagined and finished entirely for her.”
Tubo noted that it was the first time Shade Okoya will be rocking her designs, yet it felt like home because couture met presence, it simply sat right. The 34-year-old talented designer also celebrated her client and wished her a happy 49th birthday.
