Born in the United Kingdom, Collins grew up between Nigeria and England. As a child in Nigeria, his grandmother taught him the craftsmanship of true tailoring - a skill that was honed over years and which blossomed into his deep love of Fashion. A very shy child, Collins used his creative expression as an outlet throughout his youth. Refining his skills of drawing, portraiture, and fashion sketching as a student, he steadily gained recognition for his talents and eventually began auctioning off work and participating in numerous art installations.
Women are a primordial part of our
existence, Empowering Women is Empowering the World.
Combining his artistic vision with a strong business experience—attained in parts through creative consulting and work for such diverse brands as Guinness, Vice, and Ralph Lauren—Collins launched Chuks Collins Brand in 2014. Rooted in his passion for helping to bring forth the concept of true and personal self-expression, the namesake venture saw its beginnings as a made-to-measure design studio but quickly blossomed into a full-scale design house of seasonal couture as well as ready-to-wear collections for both men and women.
With Chuks Collins Collection solidly and successfully established, in 2021 Collins introduced his second brand, the lifestyle, and athleisure-focused TASOU (The Athletic Side of Us), showcasing new sides of his talent and expanding his profile as a designer. TASOU is Collins’ creative reflection on the importance of achieving a sustained balance of inner and outer health, a direct extension of his personal life philosophy.
Behind all Collins’ ventures—from Fashion to limited editions of his visual arts works, and into Social Entrepreneurship—lies the belief that creativity should benefit the world and that conscious and considered intent can elevate any creative expression. Having nearly lost his life in a 2011 car accident, Collins is driven by a passion for bringing both active purpose and impactful social responsibility to his work and legacy, through different mediums of Sustainability and his Nonprofit works.
