Hi There

My name is CIJAI, I am the Fashion Stylist & Designer from London, UK. I am also the creative force behind the fashion page “CIJAI THEE LEAK”. The name was coined from noticing at the time of when I started my fashion journey not much fashion curatives/influencers were letting people in on where to source their fashion finds, when asked by the general public. I referred to myself as “THEE LEAK” as I believe “I stay leaking all the fashion finds.”

I’ve always been captivated by all things unique and creative, right from my formative years. Which led me to pursue a career within the fashion industry. Whether it be Art, Music or Fashion. I was intrigued in its ability to make people feel just through creative expression. I never studied Fashion as I believed it’s either you have it or not. That’s not to stay, I wouldn’t pursue an academia within this field. As I also believe there is room to learn and grow in such a diverse industry.

I found my calling within the industry when I noticed I would go out to events and people would always ask me what I was wearing or what I did for a living. Family and friends would constantly ask me for advice on an outfit choice or ask me to help put together an outfit for them. Based off these occurrences, this is when Styled By CIJAI THEE LEAK was birthed.

What I adore the most about Fashion ?

Is the ability to express yourself with the use of just clothing alone. How you dress can almost tell a lot about a person. Being able to find beauty in certain wears that most people would have the opinion of “I couldn’t pull that off”. And the main factor being I am obsessed with making people feel good about themselves when playing dress up.

My Fashion advice would be ?

BE YOU & Never follow fashion trends! Become the trend that everyone follows. Add some colour to your wardrobe. Look for longevity in clothing. DONT invest in an item just because it will go with your current outfit. Be organised! Have a personality as it will show through your dressing. And If all fails hire me as your Stylist.

i look forward to styling you !
