The First Room
Preneurin began with one live session in April. The starting point was simple: gather fashion designers in a room honest enough to talk about the business problems that usually stay hidden.
First Live Session — April, Lagos
The room where the community first came to life.
Preneurin is still early. What we can show honestly is where it began: one live session in April and the atmosphere, conversations, and connection that came out of it.

Beginning
The Origin
Real Proof
One session. Real connection.
A clear foundation.
Preneurin was founded by Damilola Hadassah Obisesan, Creative Director of Dassah Oikos, to create a more meaningful community for fashion designers. The first live session became the foundation for everything now being built.
Every photo on this page was captured during the real April session.
The BTS film on this page was shot on the same day.
The gallery below documents the room and the people who were there.
Every frame in the voices film came from a designer who actually attended.

The beginning, in three parts.
A look at how Preneurin started, what the room was about, and what it is shaping into.

What Designers Brought
The conversations centered on pricing, production pressure, client boundaries, and the operational decisions that affect whether a studio grows well or keeps running on stress.

What Comes Next
That first session is now the foundation. Preneurin is using what it learned there to shape future sessions, supporting resources, and early collaboration opportunities.
