About
ABOUT
Fisayo Quadri is a designer and mixed media artist based in Maryland, driven by a simple conviction: that everyday life is worth celebrating. Her work invites viewers to reconnect with their sense of childlike wonder through vibrant collages, exaggerated silhouettes, and whimsical details that find beauty in the ordinary.
Fisayo’s process begins with a collection of digital photographs, sketchbook drawings, and found imagery from nature that become the surface of her textiles. These fabrics are then transformed into womenswear, wall decor, and fabric backdrops. Through her made-to-order label, LoveOhLou, Fisayo creates original garments and textiles designed to help the wearer feel comfortable and confident in their own skin. Vibrant landscapes, handwritten notes, and free-spirited mark-making are recurring elements in her work, each one an open door into a space of belonging.
Her most recent series, “Notes to Self” moves deeper into the power of language and affirmation. Working with layers of acrylic paint, gold leaf, and graphite, Fisayo creates pieces that remind the viewer — and the wearer — to fearlessly take up space. This work sits at the intersection of fashion and visual art, where the garment becomes a statement and the mixed media artwork becomes a mirror.
LoveOhLou was relaunched in 2026 to help you experience the joy of dressing up and living in color. Offering made-to-order garments, large textile backdrops, and painterly prints, Fisayo's designs reflect an appreciation for the simple pleasures in life and celebration of heritage. With an eye for detail and respect for craftsmanship, LoveOhLou embodies the joy of being alive.
Fisayo holds an MFA in Textile Design from Rhode Island School of Design and a BFA in Fashion Design from Pratt Institute. Her work has been featured in Elle, Women's Wear Daily, The Cut, and Vogue.
