What is Gozel Green?

Products and positioning
The label designs dresses, tops, skirts, jackets and matching sets, including denim shirt dresses and scalloped skirts. It works with crepe, denim and satin and has made fabric scraps a design element.
- Women's ready-to-wear and occasion dresses
- Denim pieces
- Collections built around upcycled cutoffs
Sustainability is central to the brand: it reuses offcuts that would otherwise be discarded, and the founders have said they aim to move towards fully sustainable fabrics.
Distribution
Gozel Green is sold through the African luxury platform Industrie Africa, often on a made-to-order basis, and has shown at Lagos Fashion Week.
Why it matters
Gozel Green is part of a generation of Nigerian labels that pair contemporary womenswear with upcycling, showing how waste reduction can be built into design rather than added later.
