After two years of intentional silence, TJWHO, the conceptual luxury house
founded by Nigerian designer Tajudeen Ibrahim, returns with measured
conviction. Presented off-site during Lagos Fashion Week 2025, in
collaboration with Bradley Joe PR, the house unveils itsfirst Ready-to-Wear
offering “CASE FILE: Collection 6(SS26 RTW).” CASE FILE extends
TJWHO’s enduring dialogue between structure and emotion a choreography of
tailoring, philosophy, and restraint. Conceived as an immersive study in
observation and control, the presentation transforms the traditional runway into
an arena of reflection, where garments become evidence and movement
becomes meaning. Each piece merges Japanese precision with African
modernism, examining the intersection of discipline, beauty, and identity.
“My work has always been an inquiry into how form can speak,
how restraint can move,” says Tajudeen Ibrahim. “Everyseam
is an argument for clarity; every fold,a gesture toward
freedom.
This season marks the introduction of Rubianna Michael as Creative Director
of Womenswear. Her debut vision, The TJWHO Woman, expands the house’s
vocabulary through fluidity and force articulating strength not asopposition to
softness, but as its quiet extension.
“If structure is control, then flow is freedom,”says Rubianna.
“Together, they define the TJWHO woman layered, intelligent, and
continually becoming.”
Through CASE FILE, TJWHO reasserts itself as one of Africa’s most intellectual
design voices where precision ispoetry, and craftsmanship becomes a
philosophy of being. The return is not a reprise, but a refinement a new
architecture of thought, tailored in silence.
