Just as the dust settles, flashes of color and light emerge from the darkness, symbolizing a brand reborn. Intentionally broken beads embellish evening gowns, while fringe and feathers abound, fusing the label\u2019s signature \u201970s \u201cdisco glam\u201d aesthetic with phoenix-inspired motifs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re in an in-between [moment] where we know who we are as a brand, but it\u2019s like a new beginning and it\u2019s a time for us to explore a slightly different path,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<figure><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"466\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fashionista.com\/.image\/NTg6MDAwMDAwMDAwNzk5MTQy\/kanyinsola-onalaja-founder.jpg?resize=466%2C675&#038;ssl=1\"><figcaption>Kanyinsola Onalaja<\/p>\n<p>Photo: Courtesy of Onalaja<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Rewinding to Onalaja\u2019s fashion beginnings, the British-Nigerian designer pursued a master\u2019s degree in fashion design at Istituto Marangoni and later worked as an embroidery consultant. While collaborating with other designers, Onalaja got a first-hand look at the industry\u2019s size-inclusivity issue: She noticed most sizing stopped at a U.K. 12 (U.S. 8), with the largest she saw going up to a U.K. 26 (U.S. 22).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wanted to create a brand that fused the size inclusivity aspect, but also it was an expression of my heritage and being able to take things that I\u2019ve learned over time, cultures that we have in Nigeria, and fuse it with my love for textures and embroidery,\u201d Onalaja explains.<\/p>\n<figure><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"506\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fashionista.com\/.image\/NTg6MDAwMDAwMDAwNzk5MTQz\/onalaja-marked-collection.jpg?resize=506%2C675&#038;ssl=1\"><figcaption>A look from Onalaja\u2019s Spring 2026 \u201cMarked\u201d collection<\/p>\n<p>Photo: Courtesy of Onalaja<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Thus, in 2014, Onalaja founded her own luxury label, which she calls a \u201cmaximalist dream.\u201d Rooted in craftsmanship and cultural storytelling (the designer hails from the Yoruba and Edo tribes), Onalaja\u2019s vibrant offering explodes with beads, tassels, sequins, feathers, fringe and crystals. The designer\u2019s penchant for intricate embroidery shines throughout the label\u2019s assortment, which already stands apart in the occasionwear space thanks to its extended 2XS to 5XL size range.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you walk into a room, people can hear you,\u201d Onalaja said, reflecting on what initially drew her to textural techniques. \u201cIt was about creating very statement pieces with the embroidery.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And statement pieces are exactly what the brand\u2019s customer is searching for. The Onalaja woman is a \u201cglobal citizen,\u201d filling her social calendar with parties and galas. With the label\u2019s prices ranging from $130 to $6,680, the Onalaja consumer is looking for clothing with a deeper connection. This isn\u2019t an audience merely seeking overpriced elevated basics; Onalaja\u2019s tactile wardrobe, which is built on three-dimensional ornamentation, caters to its community\u2019s appetite for individuality.<\/p>\n<figure><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"506\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fashionista.com\/.image\/NTg6MDAwMDAwMDAwNzk5MTM5\/olivia-dean-onalaja.jpg?resize=506%2C675&#038;ssl=1\"><figcaption>Olivia Dean wearing Onalaja<\/p>\n<p>Photo: Courtesy of Onalaja<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Onalaja already counts multiple celebrities among its fans \u2014 Chloe Bailey, Jennifer Hudson and Lizzo, to name a few \u2014 and it also recently crafted a custom look for Olivia Dean\u2019s \u201cThe Art of Loving Live\u201d tour. At her Atlanta concert, Dean donned the label\u2019s Zellie Slip Maxi Dress, an elongated gown with three-dimensional embroidery inspired by the African tradition of body marking. \u201cA lot of the scars and a lot of the bead placements would be exactly where they would be on a body,\u201d Onalaja notes.<\/p>\n<p>But how do these glittering gowns actually come together? For each collection, Onalaja starts by nailing down her fabrics, embroideries and prints. Then, she \u201cwork[s] backwards\u201d to incorporate her beloved \u201970s references, often turning to Studio 54 or Diana Ross. \u201cI always focus on texture and fabrication first and then infuse the silhouette after so that the embroidery is the standout and then the silhouette complements it,\u201d Onalaja says. The label collaborates with artisans worldwide, but the designer handles all final finishings.<\/p>\n<figure><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"506\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fashionista.com\/.image\/NTg6MDAwMDAwMDAwNzk5MTQ1\/onalaja-marked-collection-3.jpg?resize=506%2C675&#038;ssl=1\"><figcaption>A look from Onalaja\u2019s Spring 2026 \u201cMarked\u201d collection<\/p>\n<p>Photo: Courtesy of Onalaja<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As a demi-couture label, Onalaja operates on a made-to-order business model. Each garment is handcrafted with intention, which helps prevent overproduction. As she continues to gradually scale the business, the designer notes that the label is exploring more capsule collections, along with expanding into footwear and accessories. Currently, Onalaja is stocked at major players like Revolve, Saks Fifth Avenue and Cult Mia, in addition to its global retail presence across the U.S., the U.K., the UAE, Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe cater to women that luxury forgot, especially with the size inclusivity and every woman being a different body type,\u201d Onalaja said. \u201cSo our retailers really respect that and they really champion our larger sizes and our very small sizes as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"506\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fashionista.com\/.image\/NTg6MDAwMDAwMDAwNzk5MTQ2\/onalaja-marked-collection-4.jpg?resize=506%2C675&#038;ssl=1\"><figcaption>A look from Onalaja\u2019s Spring 2026 \u201cMarked\u201d collection<\/p>\n<p>Photo: Courtesy of Onalaja<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Looking ahead, retail expansion is on the horizon for Onalaja. With one brick-and-mortar flagship in Lagos under its belt, the designer wants to continue building out the brand\u2019s retailers in different regions, along with hosting more IRL activations with its community. After all, Onalaja\u2019s tactile pieces \u2014 dresses dripping with beaded fringe and sparkling with sequins \u2014 benefit from in-person discovery.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re at such a crossroads of rebuilding and trying to find out what our new story is,\u201d she says. \u201cEven though we do have some core pillars, for me, it\u2019s an interesting journey because we\u2019re also seeing and learning and seeing where this rebirth will take us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fashionista.com\/page\/fashionista-advertising\"><em>Fashionista\u2019s audience includes 1 million site visitors, 110,000 newsletter subscribers and 4.74 million social media followers.
