What is the origin of your label?
Buttons Couture dropped from heaven! I was pondering over a name for my label for a week, I wanted something unique, so I wrote down many names, they didn't click. I closed my eyes and opened them, and I saw the name Buttons in my mind and I ran with it immediately.
It was an amazing experience when fashion eye naija had a one on one chat with Oke Oyibu, Lagos based designer who owns the label Mutayz Mode.
What is the origin of your label?
It was culled from my native name which is Okemutay and mode which means fashion German.
