Kolade’s background is, just like his fashion, international. Born in Sudan to German-Nigerian parents, he grew up in Kampala, where he attended a British school before moving to Berlin in the summer of 2005. Kolade completed his fashion design studies at The Academy of Arts Weißensee in 2013. Prior to launching his eponymous label in Berlin, he spent two years in Paris working at Maison Martin Margiela and Balenciaga.
BOBBY KOLADE celebrates the idea of strong women in suits. The collections use spontaneity and dynamism to breathe new life into traditional values. The label is upbeat and international. Kolade describes the BOBBY KOLADE woman simply with two words: inquisitive and sophisticated. Wool suits and coats made of rare fabrics such as Ugandan bark cloth or hand-woven Ethiopian cotton, are statement pieces in his collections. Every item is tailor-made in Germany and excellently executed. BOBBY KOLADE embodies true luxury.
