UNNAD and Ugo Nnadi: a Port Harcourt house for stylish gents

UNNAD is the Port Harcourt menswear house founded by Ugo Nnadi, built around a direct promise: Cutting Edge Pieces For Stylish Gents. The line is not a request to dress louder. It is a standard for giving each commission a clear silhouette, a considered detail and a finish that belongs to the man wearing it.

The house begins with the brief rather than a trend. Tell the atelier the occasion, your role, the venue and what must not be compromised. A wedding host, a chief receiving guests and a gent dressing for a formal evening may all want presence, but their cloth, structure and level of detail should answer different rooms.

At No. 1 Khana Street, D-line, Port Harcourt, measurements turn that brief into proportion. The team checks shoulder balance, posture, sleeve fall, trouser rise and the ease needed to sit, greet and move. These observations give Ugo Nnadi a stronger foundation than a generic size label when shaping the piece.

UNNAD's point of view can move from a restrained senator set to a panelled shirt, embroidery or a statement pattern without losing discipline. Colour, cloth and detail are edited around the wearer. A strong motif needs space, a formal set needs control, and every design should keep the face and frame at the centre.

Fitting and finishing complete the house story. Bring the footwear and underlayers planned for the occasion, then walk, sit and raise your arms while the atelier studies the full line. Necklines, hems, trouser breaks, embroidery placement and final pressing are checked because a piece must remain composed beyond one still photograph.

Start by saving one or two references from the Senator & Formal lookbook. Send UNNAD your date, occasion, cloth status and non-negotiables through the custom order page, or plan a visit to the atelier. A focused brief gives the house room to create a cutting-edge piece that is recognisably UNNAD and personally yours.
