Ogo Ekweozor

Teaches at OGONYC Styling Academy

Whilst Ogo Ekweozor has been buzzing stateside for the last year, the designer was fairly established in the UK under the private label Runway Clothing. 

Born in Canada by parents of Nigerian Origin and raised between the English Suburbs and Africa she infuses her cultural experiences into each piece she designs. Creating pieces from as young as she can remember she began designing for private labels in the United Kingdom and later launched her own label in 2008. She has dressed numerous British socialites who include TV Presenter June Sarpong, miss universe Tara Hoyos-Martinez amongst many others. Having won numerous awards including the prestigious South Wales New Designer of the year 2010 she decided to expand her borders and relocate to the United States. 

Her youthful, vibrant designs are quickly gathering a cult following in New York City where she is currently based. Her passion to empower the underprivileged and love for creative expression through fashion, travel and nature are amongst a few things that keep her inspired.
