Meet the Nigerian tailors preserving their craft on London’s high streets https://gal-dem.com/nigerian-african-tailors-high-street/ Inspired by my namesake, Hajia Sa’adatu Futa, an accomplished tailor in my family who passed away a few years ago, my mother’s overflowing wardrobe and my spoken word film, God of Thread, which was shown at the V&A Friday Late x GUAP African Fashion Takeover, I spoke to three Nigerian women tailors in London about their journey so far, their triumphs and the challenges that lie ahead.
