Mo Agusto

Mo Agusto is a Nigerian fashion entrepreneur. She is the CEO & Artistic Director of M.O.T, a Lagos-based fashion brand that designs, manufactures and retails fashionable, functional and affordable clothing for women.

She showed her first high fashion collection at Lagos Fashion Week (LFW), earning online coverage from renowned brands like Vogue and Women’s Wear Daily (WWD). 

While maintaining a love and respect for luxury fashion, she noticed a gap in the market for brands that cater specifically to black and brown women, especially ones like herself who have unconventional body proportions, and she launched M.O.T to fill that gap. The brand now serves customers in over 20 countries.

Mo holds a degree in Economics from the University of Nottingham, and has honed her technical fashion skills through self teaching and enrolling in fashion courses at the University of Arts’ London College of Fashion and Central Saint Martins.
