About the Founder
TOPE WILLIAMS - ADEWUNMI // Founder
I am a South African trained Fashion Designer well versed in various areas of Fashion Industry and its relationship with the business community.
I know first-hand what it feels like to take the plunge and switch from a very comfortable career path in Accounting with one of the Big Four Accounting Firms - KPMG Professional Services - to a completely unrelated field - Fashion!
Why am I so confident you will get the best from Martwayne? Simple! I learnt everything from scratch myself. And the way I transitioned easily from Accounting to Fashion Design is the exact way we teach! You've seen our testimonials so you know we are GREAT at what we do! It's time for you to take that plunge too!
Here's to Your Success...

Rona shares her Martwayne Experience.
She came to Lagos came all the way from Portharcourt to pursue her dream.
This is her story:
'When I caught the vision, (it’s more of spiritual than physical. Lol), I was a size 4-6 I think, I had problems getting my clothes from stores. They would always direct me to the kids section. It was so annoying and exhausting.
I can recall I also didn’t like buying basic pieces. I was extra extra & most stores never seemed to have what I’d like. Even if they did, it was always too big. Then I thought, if I could make what I wanted in my size, why not?
So I found myself here & as time went by, the attention shifted from just me to others & I discovered I would love to cater for people that have the same type of issues I had sizewise & clothes that can help them express who they really are."
Lekan also shares his Martwayne story.
He was a complete beginner and is already earning an income from the knowledge gained at Martwayne.
