An industry insider for over twelve years, Marvin Osifo has an acute understanding of what it takes to ‘make it’ in the fast-paced world of fashion.

Born and raised in West Africa, among family in fashion design, Marvin’s upbringing cultivated a great appreciation of pattern, colour, and style. With an affinity for fashion deeply engrained, Marvin migrated to Australia in 1992 where he commenced a career in fashion retail, working for esteemed brands including BALLY, Emporio Armani, and David Jones. After establishing himself in fashion retail, Marvin went on to study business management, marketing and event management at TAFE. Involved in the events and fashion spaces simultaneously, Marvin quickly observed a lack of opportunities for young designers.
