It also features the Oju dress; a tube midi dress crafted from shiny patterned silk featuring a structured flare and other pieces with dreamy details perfectly introducing the brand as the perfect fashion hub for women.  

Five months after its entry into the Nigerian Fashion Industry, Orire was invited to be part of the 2021 Lagos Fashion Week. 

This was to celebrate the future of fashion amongst other incredible young designers on the continent. 

One major fact worthy of note is the environmental sustainability the brand is driving.

This is reflected in the numerous ways the brand looks to repurpose fabrics and waste materials, a vivid example is making scrunchies from excess fabric from producing the Dire dress.
