Meet Emmanuel Okoro, The Nigerian Designer Who Counts British Prime Minister, Theresa May as his Client

Founded in 2014 by Emmanuel Okoro, Emmy Kasbit was birthed out of the passion “to clothe the unconventional Man who thinks outside the box and is willing to defend his outfit as being deliberate and not accidental.”

Defined by clean and architectural cuts, the brand creatively merges traditional prints with modern age designs to create timeless pieces for the new African man and lately, woman.

The brand won the Fashion Focus Prize at Lagos Fashion Week in 2017.

Emmy Kabit boasts an enviable clientele which includes a number of Nollywood stars, plus the British Prime Minister, Theresa May who wore a jacket from the brand’s spring ’18 collection during her visit to Nigeria last year.

The brand’s Spring ’19 collection features an array of jackets characterized by unique prints, patterns and unconventional designs such as flare cuffs.

The Spring 2018 collection featured unique hand woven Igbo textile known as Akwete.  The pieces capture a modern interpretation of vintage designs including dresses, shorts and jackets.
