My name is Tope Olajide, an Italy-based fashion Entrepreneur, Consultant, Stylist, and Luxury Shopper

My journey in the fashion industry began in 2018, sourcing luxury items for individuals through platforms like Farfetch and other luxury retailers in South Africa and Nigeria. However, I soon realized that many highly sought-after brands, such as Louis Vuitton and Hermès, Chanel were unavailable on these platforms.

In November 2019, I relocated to Dubai, a more accessible destination for obtaining a visa as a Nigerian, despite my long-standing interest in Europe. During this time, I expanded my reach, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. With travel restrictions in place, demand for luxury sourcing increased significantly, and T20Luxury Shopping was formally established in 2020. This venture allowed me to build strong relationships with renowned luxury brands such as Gucci, Givenchy, Versace, Alexander McQueen, D&G, Hermès etc

Driven by a desire to deepen my expertise and expand my capabilities, I successfully applied for an European visa in 2021 and moved to Italy. While continuing to source luxury items for clients worldwide, I sought to broaden my impact within the fashion industry. In 2022, I enrolled at Marangoni, Italy, where I pursued studies in Fashion Business. Inspired by this experience, I returned in 2023 to study Fashion Styling and Image Consultancy, and later rounded off my fashion academic journey in 2024 with a focus on Fashion Design from the same institution.

These experiences have equipped me with a well-rounded understanding of the fashion ecosystem, enabling me to go beyond luxury sourcing. Today, I creatively style clients both virtually and in-person, consult for emerging and established fashion brands by sourcing authentic luxury fabrics and assisting in the development of their collections, and design and curate my own menswear line, TOPLAGY, which reflects my vision for timeless, sophisticated fashion.

My journey has been marked by resilience, adaptability, and a passion for delivering exceptional results. As a dynamic force in the fashion industry, I remain committed to helping clients and brands achieve their goals while continuing to innovate and inspire through my work.
