Meet Seyi The Designer

Seyitan is the Creative Director and Founder of the rapidly growing fashion brand Elan Fashion. Her journey into the fashion world began with a childhood fascination for well-made clothes. What started as simple admiration blossomed into a latent passion for fashion design. During her university years, Seyitan’s love for beautifully crafted clothing evolved into a strong desire to create her designs. She pursued a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing at Redeemer’s University in Nigeria, which honed her understanding of consumer behavior and brand building. Seyitan further enhanced her business acumen by completing a Master’s in Management at Crandall University in Canada. These academic foundations have equipped her with the skills to merge creativity with strategic business leadership in the fashion industry.

Her formal foray into fashion design began during her National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) program when she joined the SAED (Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development) initiative and focused on fashion design training. Through this program, she developed her technical skills in tailoring, design, pattern-making, and draping. Seyitan then completed several online fashion courses to refine her craft further, solidifying her designer expertise. 2014, after completing her first formal training, Seyitan officially launched Elan Fashion. The brand quickly made its mark, gaining recognition in prestigious fashion showcases. In October 2014, Seyitan participated in the Athlone Mofanny Fashion Show and the Veba Prints Runway Show, where she won the coveted title of Best Designer of the Night.
