The Boutique Popup x FAT,

Oge Ahanotu

The boutique popup is the brain child of two Afro Candian women that emigrated to Toronto as teenagers, our names are Oge Ahanotu and Adesola Oloyede. Growing up we have always had a love for Fashion and have continually dipped our toes in the industry through various means like owning multiple fashion business and previously hosting a community popup.

Africa is currently an emerging market in the fashion world and we see and have personally experienced a gap between the black emerging fashion brands and Canada. One of the gap is exressed mainly in form of inaccessibility to interact with a brand inperson physically. Our goal at the TBP is to bridge this gap by providing the avenue for the Canadian audience and these black owned brands to interact in an upscale physical setting.

At this event The boutique pop up is collaborating with Fashion Art Toronto to bring curated black owned brands to an immersive luxury shopping experience to Toronto. FAT was established in 2005 and is the longest running fashion week in Toronto body
