About Debs Clothier
Celebration of Elegance, Authenticity, and Identity.
Hi, I’m Deborah Yisa, the Creative Director of Roots and Glamz by Debs, home to DebsClothier.
The DebsClothier journey started with a deep love for African prints – which to me are vibrant, bold, and rich in meaning. I wore them proudly to work, events, church, and even places where people wouldn’t typically wear African prints. I remember a friend once asking, “Why do you wear African prints so often? Aren’t they just for special occasions?” That moment sparked something in me. I knew I wanted to challenge the stereotypes and make African fashion an everyday expression that is stylish, wearable, and full of pride.
I began designing and recreating my own styles, infusing each piece with my lifestyle and personality.
Alongside my passion for fashion, I’ve always had a strong love for interiors. For a while, I even considered becoming an interior designer. Life, however, led me into a fulfilling career in HR, driven by my love for people and purpose. But the creative fire never left.
By day, I worked in HR. By night, I was a lifestyle blogger, styling pieces I designed with local tailors. Over time, I began collaborating with brands, and after more than six years of blogging, I knew it was time to build something truly my own and pour my creativity into a brand I was passionate about.
