Dinzi talks to us about the influence of strong women in her life, from Nigera to London to Melbourne, and her experience forging her own path from law to fashion.
Inspired by the West African heritage of founder Dinzi Amobi, ‘ụlọ’means ‘home’ in Igbo, the Nigerian language spoken by Dinzi and her family. ULO creates beautiful statement pieces using traditional African fabrics that tell a story. Embodying the spirit of the conviviality of Nigerians, their love of wearing colour, entertaining and welcoming people into their homes.
About the speaker
Growing up in Nigeria, Dinzi was surrounded by an array of clashing wax fabrics and vibrant prints, the inspiration behind her bold designs.
Her love of textiles, colour and design has accompanied her since she left Nigeria, and moved to London to Melbourne where she and the team now design and hand make each piece in their studio.
The ULO team proudly design and produce limited edition collections in their Melbourne studio. With each collection, they place the utmost care with and focus on craftsmanship rather than trend.
