In 2024, Yomi Casual continues to make bold strides, cementing its position as a global fashion force.
Under the leadership of Omoniyi Makun, the brand has significantly expanded its international presence, tapping into key fashion hubs such as Atlanta, London, and Maryland.
These ventures have sealed Yomi Casual’s reputation for luxury offerings that blend the richness of African heritage with the pulse of global trends, propelling African fashion to new heights on the world stage.
Yomi Casual’s USA tour in 2023 was a success, as the brand visited three major cities, captivating fashion enthusiasts and establishing deep connections within the industry.
Omoniyi Makun’s carefully curated pop-up stores brought the vibrancy of African-inspired designs to the forefront of American fashion culture. In December 2023, the brand further made waves in London with another highly anticipated pop-up, where the bold, luxurious, and trend-forward designs resonated with a sophisticated audience.
This year, the buzz continued with Yomi Casual’s June 2024 pop-up in Maryland, USA, where it continued to make an impression with designs that fuse African textiles with modern silhouettes.
These experiences are not just about showcasing garments—they are an opportunity to immerse clients in the culture and craftsmanship that define Yomi Casual, while offering them bespoke consultations and style advice tailored to individual needs.
Yomi Casual’s success in international markets can also be attributed to its luxury offering and cutting-edge designs that cater to the discerning customer. Each piece is a carefully crafted blend of African heritage and contemporary fashion, designed to meet the demands of the modern global consumer. Whether for everyday elegance or standout runway moments, Yomi Casual’s versatile creations prove that African fashion is not only stylish, but also a symbol of sophistication and cultural pride.
In recognition of his efforts, Omoniyi Makun was recently appointed as the ambassador for the Global Entrepreneurship Festival, the world’s largest event dedicated to celebrating and promoting entrepreneurship. This prestigious appointment underscores Omoniyi’s influence not just in the fashion industry, but also in the global business landscape, further elevating the visibility of Yomi Casual as a brand that represents both luxury and entrepreneurship.
As Yomi Casual continues its upward trajectory, the brand is not just redefining what African fashion can be, it is setting the bar for what luxury, inclusivity and global relevance look like in the 21st century.
The brand’s ever-expanding international presence is proof that African-inspired fashion is here to stay, and it’s influencing trends, shaping the industry, and creating opportunities for upcoming designers worldwide.
