Hi, I’mDorcas Swalo
Founder & Creative Director of Gazelle Couture
✦
I’m a fashion designer and entrepreneur passionate about creating timeless pieces that empower women to wear their confidence.
Gazelle Couture is more than a brand—it’s a movement built on purpose, creativity, and the belief that every woman deserves to feel like her best self.
From custom-made couture to ready-to-wear collections, everything we create is crafted with love, detail, and intention.
Style is not just what you wear, it’s how you own your story.
