Today we’d like to introduce you to Oscar Balepo.
Hi oscar , we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
Oscar Balepo’s journey into fashion began with a simple passion for style and craftsmanship. Fascinated by how clothing could shape confidence and express identity, he started learning the art of tailoring and garment construction from the ground up. With limited resources but a clear vision, he spent countless hours perfecting his skills, paying close attention to detail, fit, and quality.
Driven by a desire to celebrate elegance while embracing African heritage, Oscar founded La’baleo Collections. What started as a dream gradually evolved into a fashion brand known for creating bespoke pieces that reflect individuality, sophistication, and cultural pride. Through persistence, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to excellence, he transformed challenges into stepping stones.
Today, La’baleo Collections stands as more than a fashion label. it is a testament to Oscar Balepo’s belief that fashion has the power to tell stories, build confidence, and leave a lasting impression. His journey continues to inspire aspiring entrepreneurs to pursue their passions with courage and determination.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
No, it hasn’t been a smooth road. Building La’baleo Collections came with challenges such as limited resources, gaining customers’ trust, and balancing creativity with the demands of running a business. However, each setback became a learning experience that strengthened my determination to grow the brand and stay true to my vision.

Risk taking is a topic that people have widely differing views on – we’d love to hear your thoughts.
I see risk as a necessary part of growth. Starting La’baleo Collections was one of the biggest risks I have taken because it meant investing in my vision without any guarantees of success. The fashion industry is highly competitive, but I believed in what I had to offer.
I don’t take risks recklessly. I prefer calculated risks, gathering information, planning carefully, and being prepared to adapt when challenges arise. Entrepreneurship has taught me that while uncertainty can be uncomfortable, meaningful opportunities often lie on the other side of it.
