Ogunlesi is internationally renowned for styling American singer Solange Knowles, Nigerian-British rapper Skepta, Grammy award-winning rapper, Drake also sported one of her custom jackets in the past.

In commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the first release of the doll, the global impact it has had as well as its evolution over the years, British Vogue enlisted six young designers, including London-based designer Ogunlesi, to celebrate the diversity of the doll range.

Describing her signature design for Barbie, Ogunlesi said,

“Mine is a world where everyone is free in terms of what they wear, in terms of how they think, and my women aren’t threatened by anyone—they are taking back their power.” She added.

“She [Barbie] is a Mowalola superhero. [She’s] strong, captivating and ready to have a really good time. I want to be wherever she’s going.”

Ogunlesi’s Barbie design, a neon green tie-dye ensemble, is a part of her SS20 collection.
