Jamilla Okubo knew from her early childhood that fashion was in her blood. After art teachers and her mother noticed her unique eye for color, Okubo’s fate in fashion was set. After graduating from Parsons in New York City with a degree in Integrated Design, Okubo launched her career as a mixed media artist, painter, and fashion entrepreneur. After a variety of chance encounters and once in a lifetime opportunities, Okubo found her designs at the center of some of the largest household names in fashion. From designing bags for Christian Dior to being tapped to work with the Tory Burch foundation, Okubo’s authenticity and American, Kenyan, and Trinidadian identity have contributed to her one of a kind designs--as a black female pioneer unapologetically incorporating her unique background into contemporary artistic visions.
