Tim-D Styles at Lagos Fashion Fair 2023: A Bold Statement in Corporate and Cultural Fashion

By Connie Aluoch

The 2023 edition of Lagos Fashion Fair was, as always, a dazzling spectacle filled with designers, creatives, and brands redefining what fashion means in Africa and beyond. This year, one brand that made a lasting impression was Tim_D Styles, the brainchild of fashion designer and entrepreneur Dorcas Timothy-Adejumo.

From the moment I approached their stand, it was clear that Tim_D Styles was more than just a fashion label, it was an experience. The setup was clean, inviting, and professionally curated. A rack of vibrant, stylish garments sat alongside mannequins dressed in a perfect fusion of elegance and tradition. A striking banner reads: “Looking Good in Unique Styles.” It felt less like a slogan and more like a promise and the brand delivered.

What I loved most about Tim_D Styles was the effortless blend of modern corporate wear with African-inspired fabrics and details. There was something for every kind of professional: from bold, colourful dresses for women who lead with confidence, to smart-casual menswear that merges structure with personality.

One piece that stood out was a mustard yellow dress that exuded sunshine and confidence. Another an elegant, deep red dress with a white statement collar was the definition of classic sophistication.

As I observed customers browsing and trying on garments, it became clear that Tim_D Styles understands today’s fashion-forward professionals. Whether you’re heading to a high-stakes meeting or a creative brainstorming session, their pieces help you walk in with presence and poise.

Of course, fashion is subjective. While a few pieces felt a bit formal for my usual style, the variety on display ensured that everyone could find something that resonated. That is the power of Tim_D Styles: they are not just dressing people, they are empowering them.

As I left their booth, one thought stuck with me that this is what it looks like when tradition and ambition meet on the runway. Tim_D Styles is carving out a space where African identity, professionalism, and individual style co-exist beautifully.

If you are looking for a brand that helps you own your look and your lane, Tim_D Styles is worth every glance and every garment.
