Temitope Samuel Arowosafe, a fashion designer and owner of the company Tsamzz clothing, showcased some of his works at Fashion Finest Africa 2025. A prominent fashion exhibition event, with Mai Atafo, a highly regarded fashion designer in Nigeria’s fashion business, participating on the event’s jury.
Temitope unveiled new garments with spectacular patterns that drew viewers’ attention as soon as the first model went down the runway stage.
Temitope’s style is simple elegance; his ensembles are suitable for the common Nigerian who wishes to dress simply but stylishly. His ensembles feature African styles and materials while also incorporating a western street fashion flair to enhance their simplicity.
In one of the designs, the model is seen putting on a shirt that falls just above the knees. The dress features a purple adire print. Adire is a prominent tye and dye design method that developed among the Yoruba people.Temitope’s use of the adire pattern on the shirt creates a basic yet lovely design. A stunning semi-formal attire. The model completed the ensemble with a pair of grey trousers.
Another photograph shows another model wearing a black top and black shorts that are just above the knees. Unlike the last ensemble, this shirt does not use the tie and dye method. This time, Temitope opts for a large printed graphic on the front of the shirt. A brave move.
Clothing with large printed pictures on the front is sometimes regarded garish, unappealing, and not high fashion. But Temitope put it all together brilliantly. The shirt’s print goes wonderfully with the model’s practically all-black attire. The image color selection is ideal for this style. The model completed the appearance by wearing grey and brown shoes.
Other clothes on display include a model wearing beautifully created Nigerian traditional outfits with a modern flair. The model is well dressed, and as with all temitope designs, this gorgeous dress maintains a simple yet luxury posture.
This fashion event is organized by Fashions Finest Africa, a platform that brings together Africa’s greatest fashion industry talent to expose and promote their craft, originality, and uniqueness. It’s encouraging to see Temitope as one of the fashion designers whose work is viewed and recognized.
Temitope Samuel Arowosafe is undeniably a brilliant designer; while his name and business, Tsamzz clothes, are not yet household names in Nigeria, there is no doubt that Tsamzz apparel can compete with the likes of Ugo Monye.
