I’m not tired of creating.

I’m tired of how difficult it has become to create in Nigeria.

Every year it gets harder to run a creative business. Materials are more expensive, production costs keep rising, and you’re expected to deliver world-class work while navigating challenges that shouldn’t exist in the first place.

To every Nigerian creative still showing up every day I genuinely salute you.

I’m stepping away from social media.

Until whenever.

Thank you to everyone who has supported my journey so far. ❤️

The business is still open. If you’d like to place an order or make an enquiry, my PA will be attending to all DMs while I’m away. by @josiphiah__michael

I came to style my client… he completely snubbed me. 😂

Shooting with kids is never predictable, but that’s the magic of it.

Five minutes later, he was smiling, jumping around, owning every frame, and reminding us that style is supposed to be fun. 💙

Happy Birthday to my youngest client! 🥳🎉 Wishing you a lifetime of joy, confidence, and big dreams.

I’d do this shoot all over again. 🤍

Imagine being this stylish before primary school😂

Another custom upcycled denim set delivered.

Creating wearable art for every age is one of my favorite things to do.

Happy Birthday to my youngest client! 🥳🎉 And a special thank you to @hadhufegram_ for trusting me with another special moment. It was a joy bringing this look to life for your little king. 💙

A family that wears denim together….. definitely leaves an impression.💙

Years from now, their little girl probably won’t remember the fittings or the photoshoot.

But she’ll have these photographs.
She’ll see how her parents looked at her.
She’ll see what they wore.
She’ll see the love.

Knowing that something I created gets to become a small part of a family’s story is a privilege I’ll never take for granted.

Thank you for trusting Josiphiah Michael with this moment.

It started as a thrift jersey.
Now it’s a one-of-one Josiphiah Michael piece.
That’s the beauty of seeing possibilities where others don’t.
