Here’s to remind y’all that I’m in the business of making tailored-to-fit suits here in the UK 🇬🇧 and in Nigeria 🇳🇬.

I’m at my desk working remotely and fighting the urge to gatekeep this banana bread…
because once Lagos people discover it, peace will leave that bakery 😭
Look at this texture. Moist. Fluffy.
Your intestine will personally thank you.
Not to start weekend gossip but…
My source just confirmed there is a very dangerous banana bread in Lekki.
Moist. Fluffy. Emotionally supportive.
If you’re in Lagos and you don’t go and try it, that one is between you and your destiny.

Dẹ́nọlá is about who we stand with. It is about where we come from. It is about the strength we find when we carry it forward, together.

Dẹ́nọlá | Look 3 & 4
These looks speak to that bond. Two men walking together. Sharing silence but still in conversation. Patterns that remind us we are never alone.

Brotherhood is one of our oldest stories in Africa. It has carried us from our forefathers to today.

This day last year, I left my house employed and returned unemployed. According to my employer, I was laid off for being “not suitable for this role.” But deep down, I knew that wasn’t the case. The whole saga started after I asked about visa sponsorship.

My friend has less than 14 days to leave the country, and I don’t even know what to say to her on the phone
I am so devastated
We prayed, we applied, all hands were on deck but still nothing
It is well because I don’t even know how to console her
Dẹ́nọlá | Look 2
Two men. Two shades of the same story; white and green standing side by side. Different tones, but speaking the same language.
This look is not about the fabric alone.
It is about recognition.
It is about presence.
It is about pride that moves quietly!
Paul Williams has just unveiled his new capsule collection Dẹ́nọlá; a reimagining of heritage as global luxury.
Look 1 begins in white: a dashíkì as presence, as memory, as pride.
What does this look say to you?
How does heritage translate into today’s luxury?
#Dẹ́nọláCo
For voices buried by colonial hands. For the culture that was never erased; only carried, quietly, in cloth and ceremony.
Standing beside it, not as a designer, but as a son of legacy. Dressed, still. Rooted, still. Present; even in absence.
This is a capsule in stillness.
This is STATE ; where memory meets fabric, and stillness holds what history tried to forget.
A headless mannequin stands in the Wheat field, not for spectacle, but for remembrance. For those who migrated and never returned. For voices buried by colonial hands.
Eight years ago, a vision was born; not just a fashion label, but a space where memory, identity & culture live in cloth.
From humble beginnings to global features, we’re 8 years strong.
Thank you for walking with us.

Paul Williams presents ‘STATE’: A Capsule in Stillness
In a quiet wheat field, a mannequin stands headless, silent, but robed in tradition.
It becomes an emblem of absent presence; those lost to migration, to colonialism , and forgotten history.
