What will be in vogue this year?
Short dresses, crop tops and skirts. I think yellow will be in vogue this season.
What is your opinion about the fashion industry?
I think the fashion industry, especially in Nigeria, is constantly improving and expanding. I see it contributing majorly to the Nigerian economy in 10 years, and will be recognized as an industry on its own.
What do you think will be the future of Fashion designing?
Right now, it is really a small scale thing but I feel in a couple of years, it will be on a large scale. I feel more designers will move from what it is now to more ready to wear and affordable clothes.
What are some fashion mistakes Nigerians make?
I feel some people try to follow trends. They need to realize that there are more to consider beside trends. People need to dress according to their taste and what makes them comfortable.
What are your plans for 2015?
To expand my ready to wear line in more boutiques so I can cater to more people. And also to push my new bridal wear line.
