About | The Lead Designer

Where modern glam meets master craft  

At Moor Clothing Store, every gown is designed to make you feel elegant, unique, and unforgettable. We specialize in custom bridal, reception, prom, and special-occasion dresses—each one tailored to your style, your silhouette, and your moment.

Rooted in our principles of Elegance, Quality, and Individuality, our work blends couture detailing with a modern, red-carpet sensibility:

  • Elegance – Designs that celebrate so every client feels truly exceptional.

  • Quality – The finest materials and meticulous craftsmanship set the standard in every stitch.

  • Individuality – Thoughtfully tailored silhouettes that reflect the wearer’s presence and personality.

The Story Behind the Craft  

Moor Clothing Store was founded by Mo Akintade—owner, Creative Director, and Lead Designer. More than two decades ago, Mo picked up a needle and thread and discovered her ikigai:
what she loves (designing unforgettable gowns), what she’s exceptionally good at (precision tailoring and couture embellishment), and what the world needs (distinctive pieces that help women feel seen, confident, and extraordinary).
That calling still guides every collection and custom commission today.

Our Process  

From first sketch to final fitting, we design with you and for you. Consultations explore your vision, fabric options are curated to your taste, and details—hand beading, 3D elements, sculpted corsetry, and refined finishes—are executed by artisans who obsess over fit and finish. The result isn’t just a dress; it’s a piece of you.

Our Promise  

We don’t simply make gowns—we create experiences. Every gown tells a story of elegance, sophistication, and timeless beauty.

Whether you’re walking down the aisle, attending prom, or making a statement at a gala, Moor Clothing ensures you stand out with a design as extraordinary as you are.
