A short animated tale capturing the journey and evolution of our Creative Director, Nosakhare Osadolor, tracing his journey from his childhood in the Benin Kingdom to becoming the Founder and Creative Director of Nosakhari.
Drawing distinct parallels between the masterful craftsmanship from the Benin Kingdom and Nosakhari’s unwavering commitment to artisan excellence, BECOMING celebrates the evolution of our Founder and Creative Director Nosakhare Osadolor’s creative influences and inspirations.
Animated by talented artist Tom Humphreys, this story weaves together the journey of how craftsmanship has shaped the Nosakhari brand mission and our quest to ignite individuality and self-expression.
Nosakhare Osadolor
Born in Nigeria and based in London, Nosa is the Founder & creative force behind the Nosakhari Brand. Without formal fashion or design training, Nosa’s stylistic evolution began in his early school years, where he was captivated by how his peers transformed standard uniforms into expressions of individuality.
