Tesslo (formerly known as Tesslo Concepts) is a fashion brand specialized in customized clothing. It was founded by Tessy Oliseh-Amaize in 2005, and now operates from Washington, D.C., United States.[1][2]

The Tesslo brand

[edit]

Tesslo was founded by Tessy Oliseh-Amaize, a graduate of Fashion Design from Middlessex University, United Kingdom. She is the creative director of the brand.[3][4] In 2006, Tesslo Concepts beat 126 other Nigerian fashion designers to emerge winner of the Best Fashion Designer Award at the Nigeria Fashion Show (NFS).[5][6][7] In the same year, the brand was nominated for the Future Awards’ Entrepreneur of the Year (Beauty & Style) category.[8][9]

In May 2016, Nigerian soccer icon, Sunday Oliseh modeled a collection of suits made by Tesslo.[10][11] Tesslo is known for bold and classic designs that combine African and Western aesthetics. Some of Tesslo’s male collections have been modelled by journalist Ohimai Amaize.[12][13][14] The brand is also famously known for The Sunday Look, a weekly Sunday fashion feature on Nigerian social media.[15][16]
