Today we’d like to introduce you to Ousmane Diallo.
Hi Ousmane, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Déclic Wear was born out of an overflowing passion. While running a thrift shop, I would take pieces of clothing that I cut myself and hand them over to a tailor near my shop. Gradually, I started designing and wearing my own models. The journey was not easy coming from a modest family.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The biggest obstacle was the lack of financial means, which is inevitable when growing up in a modest family. Without solid financial support, every step—sourcing materials, finding a good tailor, buying equipment, or simply getting noticed—was a constant struggle. I had to be resourceful, turn the little I had into an opportunity, and push forward despite self-doubt and closed doors. But it is precisely this precariousness that forged my resilience and fueled my determination to succeed.
