Jason Porshe[1][2][3][4][5][6] is a Nigerian fashion brand created and founded by fashion designer Jason C. Samuel[7] (born 4th September, 1993).

The brand has shown at multiple fashion weeks, including South African Menswear Fashion Week.[8][9]

About the Designer

Born in Enugu, Nigeria, on September 4, 1993, Jason was inspired to start his namesake brand by the classic suits of the Tom Ford brand. In 2012, he made his first runway debut at the age of 19, to a mass critical acclaim. In 2018, he gave a rousing Ted Talk titled "Fashion for Humans."[10]

In 2017, the brand made launched[11] its first retail store with a widely feted ready-to-wear collection through a shopping party. As a result, the brand became the first fashion business in Nigeria to collaborate with ‘Belaire Rose,’ which helped in positioning the brand within Nigeria's competitive market.

Celebrity Clients

Today, the brand is worn by leading celebrities, such as Beverly Osu,[12] Ric Hassani,[13] Alexx Ekubo,[14][15] Ik Ogbonna, Bryan Okwara,[16] Don Jazzy,[17] Yemi Alade,[18] Korede Bello,[19] Mike Ezurounye, Mike Godson, Sean Tizzle, Timi Dakolo,[20] Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Juliet Ibrahim, Praiz,[21] Denola Grey,[22] and many more.

The brand was dubbed “designer to the stars”[21] by foremost Nigerian fashion writer and editor Richard Akuson in a review of their collection.
