The house

Eromo Moda began at a single cutting table, with a handful of brides who wanted something no shop could sell them: a gown drawn for them alone. Sarah Ukavbe trained as a pattern cutter before she ever called herself a designer, and the house still works that way. Every piece starts with the woman, her measurements and her occasion, and only then with the sketch. As the waiting list grew, so did the questions from young makers who wanted to learn the same craft. The Fashion Academy grew out of those questions, and today the house and the academy share the same atelier and the same standards.

“I make clothes for one woman at a time. When she walks into the room, it should be hers before it is anyone else's.”
