So encouraging. She was born to do this. I wish more African parents would stop obsessing over grades and look at the natural talents of our kids. Kudos to her for following her passion and kudo's to parents for supporting her journey..
Wow, Alonuko has reinvented the “couture” wedding dress! Maybe I’m biased but it seems as though extreme, extreme talent, comes out of Africa. I’ve seen it… over and over again.
I love seeing African women win!! It gives me so much encouragement and it’s nice to see relatable role models no matter what industry they are in. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The way she came up with the name of her brand, that’s such a brilliant idea. You can tell she knows her onions. She’s so good at what she does and so talented. Love this for her.
Tayo is synonymous with consistency, hardwork, professionalism respect for the viewers because he just goes over and beyond to ensure we stay glued on his contents through pristine videos, breathtaking locations, tips for saving etc. As a 50 + individual- I am so proud of the way our youths appreciate diversity, inclusion and differences. Alonuko thanks for your awe inspiring and breathtaking princess/fairytale wedding gowns. I am a full time subscriber, mother, sister, female cousin and fan and super proud of you. Thanks for opening yourself up to limitless horizons.💯❤️👍🏾👏🏾🤩🌟🥳🙏🏾🍾
Her gowns are the most gorgeous I've ever seen. I honestly wonder why it's so hard for fashion designers to make beautiful clothing. Tbf I'm not a designer, no clue what goes into it, but I've always wondered why bridal gowns were so plain. Nice to see someone making beautiful clothing designed for black skin! Her sheer netting or whatever it's called matches so well.
Her dresses are beautiful and exquisite. I wish her all success. She so young and inspiring. This is what I would love to see, more about young Beautiful Black Females, building their empires. Not all the ratchet degrading behaviour that is being promoted and now is the characteristics that defined young black females. Less of people like 'Sexy Red' more of females like 'Gbemi Okunola' Thanks Tayo. Good job highlighting the positive Black People.
I think a TH-camr that does the same stuff as Tayo needs to Interview Tayo. This guy is literally amazing at what he does!! You can't imagine the amount of work it took to upload a 25minute video.
This is really encouraging 👏 I just moved to the uk to join my husband, and I'm a fashion designer from Nigeria. I'm watching to just keep me really motivated because fashion is something I love to do.
Tayo, your content is superb, very sophisticated and not childish like other content I see on TH-cam. Thank you for showcasing these brilliant Nigerians who are such an inspiration to us all,i remain a huge admirer of Nigerians and am inspired by them. The facilities here in Britain made her thrive. Those useless rulers in Africa are frustrating the superb and brilliant business minded Africans especially Nigerians. This supertalented young lady could have been employing Africans in Africa if only there was 24/7 electricity, security, safety, the rule of law, etc. I truly admire the tenacity, hardwork and creativeness of Nigerians, they are simply unmatched.
I love where she talked about your goals changing overtime and having support systems in your growth journey. This is really an inspirational story, as a fashion designer, there are lots of takeaways for me💯❤️
I love Alonuko❣️. Her dresses are elegant and they all stand out🥰🥰. I love how innovative she is. She’s young and vibrant ❣️. I’ve been following her for 2/3 years now and I’ve been telling myself that I’d love to be an Alonuko bride🥹
I have my wedding dressmaker. I will refer you to this comment when I come over. I am SUPER DUPER PROUD of you. What a woman! What a force! And I dare say, you are just starting.
This is one of the best interview with tons of inspiration. Sometime in the future soon, I will patronize for my daughter God willing. Well done dear. Great interview Tayo.
She is intelligent, focused ans articulate. I love the fact that she confidently speaks about equity, raising funds and other critical financial concepts that are important for entrepreneurs to have a grasp of. Without a degree, she has made more of her foundational education and intellect than many degree holders. I think she would seriously benefit from one of the executive business or entrepreneurship programmes from top business schools like the London Business School, INSEAD etc... that are tailored for SMEs and become an instructor in one later if she wanted. Very positive energy.
BEAUTIFUL is an understatement! Thank you for all you do Tayo can you please do a day in the life with Chrissy Bales Eze Azenabor and actors as well like Maurice Sam who is also taking our world by storm. I am not even Nigerian you guys but I know y'all. Your work ethic is unbeatable and you have made some of us proud to be Africans and identify with where we come from and be proud like "Who do you think you are?" in my best Naija accent! Love you my Naija fam! NAIJA to the world indeed! Zimbabwe to the World and Africa to the World!!!! I hope there is a time where all just consume our own products and wear or use our own creations man! I have noticed (offcourse from Social media or rather the Kenyan influencers i follow so I could be wrong) but it seems like in Kenya they are big on wearing made in Kenya products including even skincare. #AfricaRise!! #AfricaUnite!! #PatriceLumumba and many others' dreams!
let your children follow & fulfill the the dream that God placed inside of them. STOP forcing them to fulfill your dreams. stop living through your children. Help them discover their gifts and nurture it into fruition. Do not Abort their dreams because it doesn't fit yours. ❤❤❤😊😊😊
I remember her from leye olumide's video of her sisters wedding. ( there was a time i used to watch a lot if Nigerian wedding videos😂). She gave a toast on how her sister looked come to find out she made the dress.
This young businesswoman, her craft, her business are beautifully amazing😍😍 I love to see Nigerians free to develop their passions brilliantly, in peace and prosperity. Nigeria produces other level talents.
Love her. Love this. And I absolutely hate the way bc of color some will deem things as less valuable vs a different color counterpart - but we are here and we will break down that mythology 1x1! We ARE top top tier ❤
What a boss babe!!! Incredible work ethic and SUCH an outstanding brand 🙌🏾 when it’s my time, she’ll be amongst the first people I reach out to because 😍
Thanks for this interview.... she is and inspiration for the young entrepreneurs... I wish her all the success of this world and may God continue protecting her and her family 🙏🥂🍾👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Authentic! That's the word that came as I watched this. Thank you, Tayo, for bringing her to our screens. Success is achievable to those who aren't scared to dream . I wish her continued success ❤

Accurate comment, most of us are stuck in 9-5 jobs miserable because we never got to harness our talents,
Alonuko is a force! Her dresses are beautiful
@TayoAina
There is a bug on your website,no one can register...kindly attend to it
I love how she isnt afraid to talk money and numbers ..such a force at only 28 wow ❤
Honestly

Are people ready to pay for the beautiful clothing
Saw Alonuko pieces on Pinterest and I fell in love with the artistry. So this is her??? OMG. . .I'm so proud of her!!!
Her dresses are beautiful and exquisite. I wish her all success. She so young and inspiring.

Thanks Tayo. Good job highlighting the positive Black People.
If I could afford one of her dresses, it would have been the choice for me for my upcoming wedding. So stunning.
Now I know where to get my wedding dress❤❤❤❤❤❤ she is a HARDWORKER and so real❤❤❤
I think a TH-camr that does the same stuff as Tayo needs to Interview Tayo.

@korty
I think that @kimdave did it already
Immediately I saw the title, I was like "it had better be Alonuko''.
Her pieces are BEAUTIFUL and very detailed
This is really encouraging 👏
I just moved to the uk to join my husband, and I'm a fashion designer from Nigeria. I'm watching to just keep me really motivated because fashion is something I love to do.

My girlfriend has been watching her designs for over a year now, and I didn’t really understand why. She really does beautiful work.
Naija again at its best. Kudos Alonuko
I'm PROUD of her!
A few years later: Tayo getting a dress from Alonuko for his blide❤❤
The believe she had in herself is on another level. Really worth emulating
Blacks in UK are really representing..I'm not gonna lie because of a strong African influence.
Africans are really killing it!love it
I love where she talked about your goals changing overtime and having support systems in your growth journey. This is really an inspirational story, as a fashion designer, there are lots of takeaways for me💯❤️

0:41 when Tayo asked how many dresses do you make in a day, I screamed 🤣🤣. Like a lot of work goes in Sir lol
😂😂
😅😅 I wasn’t informed. Now I know, thanks for watching 😁
Incredible young woman. These! are the stories we should be amplifying ❤️🔥🙌🏾
After watching this,it's clear to me that my dreams of becoming a successful entrepreneur is not wild. Well done tayo.
Thank you Tayo for bringing Gbemi to our screen. More importantly, thank you Bukunmi for sharing this link with me❤
Her dresses are 10/10😍😍😍 Spectacular 🔥🔥😍✨

What a beautiful story and so relatable! Nothing like an African parent's doubt to fuel your ambition 😂😂😂
Right ! Until they see it start to work
Love Alonuko, her dresses are the stuff a black girls'dream are made of.
She's something else! Intelligent, talented, driven, gorgeous and loves her family. I'm happy for her. I'd be after her if I lived in the UK.
You can still try your luck wherever you are!!😂 The world is a global village
@@andromedab902 You are correct!
Proud is an understatement
Kudos to you for making us nigerian proud.
She is inspiring to young black fashion designers.
I’m from France, and I did not know about her company but omggg I’m so glad I’ve watched that video !! Also so glad I’m not yet married 😅
My three favorite channels: Tayo Aina, Stock Brotha, & GoBlack2Africa. 🔥 🔥 🔥
And Wode Maya
Let's not sleep on her wisdom, people management skills and leadership capabilities. Just outstanding 😊
I’m so inspired! I follow her designs and it’s nice to know how she started. So courageous!
Thank you so much Tayo for bringing this to us. You’re both an inspiration to every young person out there trying to make it work.
Very inspirational, I hope she continues to have even more success 😍
Her dresses are so beautiful,luxury and one piece you cant find anywhere or anyhow.
This video has inspired me to have a travel list and Zimbabwe is going to be on the list. Thank you for the great content
How does UK look like Zimbabwe 😮
I really like the question of “how do you effectively manage a team?” - her answer is really insightful, I really appreciate this interview. 🖤
This is one of the best interview with tons of inspiration. Sometime in the future soon, I will patronize for my daughter God willing. Well done dear. Great interview Tayo.
“You can see that the growth is coming, but you don’t have the money to supply that growth.” I could resonate with that.
Why did I know it was Alonuko before I even clicked the video! She makes lovely dresses! ❤
So interesting to know that she’s been sewing wedding dresses since twenty!
Congratulations! I am very impressed with your story and success.Greater heights in Jesus name🎉
I really admire how audible and confident she is!!🥺

Her dresses are extraordinarily beautiful and breathtaking. I can’t believe it!
As a fashion designer and a Nigerian I am truly inspired to keep going and believe in yourself.
I remember her from leye olumide's video of her sisters wedding. ( there was a time i used to watch a lot if Nigerian wedding videos😂). She gave a toast on how her sister looked come to find out she made the dress.
