busayo nyc

Busayo NYC is a Brooklyn-based contemporary fashion label founded in 2011 by Nigerian-American lawyer-turned-designer Busayo Olupona. Driven by a desire to reconnect with her heritage and create the vibrant clothing she could not find in the American market, Olupona built a brand that bridges traditional Nigerian textile techniques with modern, ready-to-wear silhouettes. The label is defined by its use of Adire, a traditional Yoruba tie-dye process, which is meticulously crafted by artisans in Nigeria. This structural commitment to Nigerian production not only preserves heritage craft but also provides sustainable employment for the local artisan community.
