Fearless Fashion – TUBO in British Vogue

October 2024 Issue

This October, during the UK's Black History Month, TUBO is honored to be featured in British Vogue's "Fearless Fashion" edition. The timing of this feature couldn’t be more fitting, as it aligns perfectly with the significance of this month—a time to celebrate and honor Black heritage. At TUBO, fearless fashion is not just a concept, it’s the essence of what we stand for: bold designs rooted in tradition, crafted to empower women and celebrate their natural beauty and strength.
The dress featured in Vogue, a striking crimson creation, captures everything we love about the female form—its curves, its lines, its power. Made from luxurious satin, the dress flows effortlessly while its structured bodice cinches the waist, embodying the signature TUBO silhouette that accentuates a woman's natural form. Every stitch of this gown is a testament to our dedication to craftsmanship, designed to enhance the beauty that each woman naturally holds.
Can you spot us?
Growing up, I struggled to find clothes that truly fit me. Like so many African women, I was often overlooked by mainstream fashion, which catered to a narrow idea of beauty and body shape. It wasn’t just about the lack of options—it was about feeling unseen. That's why I created TUBO, to design clothing that not only fits but celebrates the female form in all its diversity. Whether through our bespoke bridal pieces or our ready-to-wear collections, TUBO is about making every woman feel seen, appreciated, and powerful in her own skin.

It feels especially meaningful that this feature comes during Black History Month. At TUBO, we’re not just creating beautiful clothes; we’re telling stories. We honor the rich heritage of our culture while bringing it into the future with a modern, luxurious touch. The crimson gown featured in Vogue is a perfect representation of this mission—a blend of tradition and contemporary design, honoring our roots while looking ahead to the future of fashion.

We are immensely proud to be featured in British Vogue, a publication that reaches millions and sets the stage for global fashion trends. This moment is a reflection of the journey we’ve been on, dedicated to creating timeless pieces that empower women. To the women who inspire us, who walk in their truth, and who challenge the status quo—you are the reason TUBO exists. This feature in Vogue is a celebration of you, your beauty, and your strength.
