DEJI ENIOLA X Folu Storms X Rixelstudios Present

L’Élégance en Parade —

A Soulfully Tailored Ode to Heritage, Rhythm, and Grace

Lagos / London, October 2025 

A cinematic expression of heritage, rhythm, and refined craftsmanship, L’Élégance en Parade marks the latest body of work from DEJI ENIOLA, the multicultural luxury fashion brand founded by Ayodeji Osinulu.

The one-minute film, created in collaboration with Folu Storms — a long-time muse and embodiment of the brand’s ethos — captures the poise and precision of true elegance. Shot in Lagos with a vintage sensibility, the visual narrative nods to mid-20th century tailoring while reimagining it for today’s modern, multicultural spirit.

Rooted in African heritage, refined through British tailoring, and elevated by Italian craftsmanship, DEJI ENIOLA represents the fusion of worlds where elegance becomes both a language and a legacy. The film highlights the brand’s dedication to full floating-canvas construction — a detail often reserved for the highest echelons of bespoke tailoring — emphasizing authenticity, structure, and soul.

At its heart, L’Élégance en Parade embodies what Ayodeji defines as “soulfully tailored”: garments created not merely to adorn, but to express. While inspired by the spirit of jazz — its rhythm, freedom, and sophistication — the soundtrack departs from the genre, interpreting those same qualities through modern soundscapes infused with notes rooted in the heart of the motherland.

“This piece is both a reflection and a conversation,” says Ayodeji Osinulu, Founder and Creative Director. “Working with Folu, who has been a part of our creative journey from the beginning, allowed us to translate what DEJI ENIOLA stands for — poise, depth, and rhythm — into something cinematic and soulful.”
