More Than a Brand — This Is My Expression
Adáe is where fashion, storytelling, and individuality come to life.
My name is Michelle — but here, you can call me Adae.
I’m a stylist, model, creative director, and self-taught artist raised in North Carolina with Nigerian roots and an eye for expression that runs deep. From the bold silhouettes that walk into a room before I do, to the quiet strength of a well-placed detail, I’ve always been drawn to how personal style can speak without saying a word.
Adáe isn’t just my brand — it’s my creative language.
The Heart of Adáe
I created Adáe to give people — and brands — the space to explore style, art, and presence in ways that feel both powerful and personal. Whether I’m styling a look for an editorial shoot, modeling for a campaign, producing content that moves through your audience’s feed with meaning, or crafting a digital collage that tells an untold story — my intention is always the same:
To celebrate confidence, individuality, and the beauty of creative identity.
This brand is for those who want their message to be felt.
And for those who want to look as bold as they feel on the inside.
My Story, Styled
I’ve been creating since the age of five. Art was my first love — pencil in hand, sketchpad always nearby.
Over time, that creativity evolved into fashion, storytelling, modeling, and now a brand that blends all of it together. The fashion world caught my attention early, with movies like The Devil Wears Prada feeding my obsession with bold visuals and unapologetic looks.
As a tall, confident Black woman who’s spent years navigating and shaping her own aesthetic, I know what it means to stand out. And I’ve learned to love what sets me apart — in height, vision, and voice.
What Makes Adáe Different
I don’t believe in surface-level styling or staged content.
My work is built on authenticity, cultural relevance, and intention.
Through Adáe, my team and I bring a fashion-forward yet approachable lens to everything we do. Our services are shaped by collaboration, care, and creativity that actually reflects who you are — not just what looks good in a feed.
