OUR STORY

Designsmill by Simi was founded in 2013 by Nigerian-American designer Simisola Okunuga. What began in Nigeria as a passion for beautiful fabrics and thoughtful design soon evolved into a purpose-driven fashion brand. Simisola initially created garments for herself, inspired by a desire to wear pieces that reflected both elegance and individuality. That passion quickly grew into a thriving fashion house dedicated to bringing women’s dream gowns to life.

Today, Designsmill by Simi is a luxury couture brand specializing in custom-made bridal, evening, and prom gowns. Every design is handcrafted with exceptional attention to detail, ensuring each client receives a one-of-a-kind piece that celebrates her unique style and silhouette.
