Utibe ‘Yutee’ Rone! Yes, no doubt she is one of the names that is synonymous with luxury fashion in Nigeria. Yutee is highly recognised and has often been described as one of Africa-based best high-end women’s wear designers in the creative industry.
Though married to a billionaire energy magnate, Julius Rone, she’s not one of those trophy wives. Since she launched her eponymous label in 2007, Yutee has created one-of-a-kind structural pieces out of the highest quality fabrics and with meticulous attention to detail. Her world is one of bold and unique designs designed to captivate and empower the woman wearing them. Now, this enchanting fashion designer has been encouraged to showcase her talent to the world as she is set to rock the New York fashion industry. For her outstanding accomplishment and indelible mark on the fashion world, Yutee has been invited to rub shoulders with other world class designers at the coming New York Fashion Week 2024.
The iconic three-day Fashion Week —organised by Runway 7— will be held between 9 and 11 February at various venues across New York City. Yutee will be showcasing some of her most amazing collections that have given her the edge far and above other competitors on Saturday, 10 February at the famous Sony Hall in New York City.
