London Tailor: How family called meeting to stop my fashion ambition

The London Tailor, Raji Yakub, didn’t get along with his family when he informed them he wanted to study clothing and textiles. They wanted him to become a doctor or lawyer.

He went on to say that the family called a meeting in an attempt to get him to reconsider, but he refused.

“I studied Clothing and Textiles when I finally went to school, and I became a certified tailor,” he recounted. Making that choice was not simple. Everyone at home kept making comparisons between myself and those pursuing law and medical degrees.

The fashion designer has gone on to work with celebrities such as Small Doctor, Qdot, OBerz, DJ Consequence, K1 De Ultimate, Saheed Osupa, and Groovy. He has launched collections such as ‘Machalla’, ‘Play Boy’, ‘30Bg Collection’ and ‘Selecta Collection’.

Speaking on the idea behind the Machala collection, he said, “My first collection was Machala because I am a diehard fan of Wizkid, who is sometimes called Machala. Initially, I didn’t have a name for the collection but when people bought them, they told me that it was the kind of stuff Wizkid loves to wear, so I chose that name.”
