Meet Miss Atilla, Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Ade by Femi

ABOUT THE DESIGNER…

Known by her moniker “Miss Atilla”,  the Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Ade by Femi is a multi-faceted  individual. She is a fourth generation lawyer, wife, mother, supply chain and compliance expert and corporate leader in the international oil and gas industry.

She is British, Nigerian and American by marriage, and reached the corporate c-suite in before she hit 30, at a time when she was at the height of her expression as a fashion creative.

As a child, she would watch with anticipation most mornings as her mother, a judge, would get dressed to go to court and tread the fine balance between wearing the most chic outfits and fulfilling the very conservative and rigid restrictions of her job, whilst raising her children. Femi was determined that even though she wanted to be a lawyer like her mother, she would also express her creative side through fashion but with much more colour. 

This, she birthed Ade by Femi out of a desire to design beautiful clothes, and demonstrate that corporate ambition need not be at the expense of one’s passion and creativity.

When she is not designing for Ade by Femi, she spends her time conquering corporate targets, pursuing her faith and her fitness journey, cooking and travelling with her husband and daughters.
