àlalá is a noun in the native Yorùbá language of Nigeria; àlalá is defined as a [dreamer]. And a dreamer she is.


After studying Theatre Arts for Costume at RedDear College, and furthering her education at the Banff Centre for Performing Arts, and then Ryerson Universityin Torontowhere she obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Fashion Design, Adejoke began her fashion line, àlalá, two years ago.

Adejoke is mainly inspired by the interesting and complex people in her life, who she feels all have engaging stories to tell. She hopes and dreams to travel the world to work at various fashion houses, while expanding on her existing fashion line.“I love creating unique pieces that people would love to wear.”
