Walé Adeyemi - the hip-hop connection

Walé Adeyemi has come a long way in a relatively short time, his first faltering step on the fashion design ladder was a design course at Thurrock Technical Institute near London, since then he has gone on to become one of Britain’s key innovators of street fashion.

Full recognition of his talent came when Walé was presented the Fashion and Design Award at the Multi-Cultural Awards in 2001, he has also been honoured with a listing in 100 Great Black Britons.

Walé in his own words:

“I try to be quite an international designer, but my clothes are known to represent different things in different places. Here in the UK, it’s more of a hip-hop connection.”

The jewel in Walé’s crown is the ‘B-side collection’ which includes not only men’s and women’s streetwear but has been expanded to encompass children’s and babywear.

Celebrities such as Beyonce, Missy Elliot, Ms Dynamite, the Beckhams, June Sarpong, and Alicia Keyes are all fans of Walé’s be-spoke collection ‘Walé Adeyemi’ which is designed to bring his range of luxurious garments to a wider audience.

The Walé Adeyemi collections can be seen at Designer Pitstop.
