He tells OYINDAMOLA LAWAL what fashion is to him.
What is fashion to you?
It is a personal thing; I don’t think there is any particular way to it. Everybody does his or her own thing, as long as it looks good on the person. I love fashion and I love to look at beautiful things.
Style of dressing
I love jeans and I wear it almost everyday. I also love T-shirts, especially, the short-sleeved ones. I’m very sporty in my dressings and Jean makes me comfortable with the kind of job I do.
Favourite piece of clothing
I do not have any favourite piece of clothing; but rather I’m a freak for jeans and T-shirt.
Favourite designer(s)
I love Gucci, Giorgio Armani, Versace and some others unknown Japanese products. All my designers have lovely accessories. I also love Ermenigicdo, Zegna and Trussardi.
Favourite colours
I love earth colours such as chocolate and all shades of brown.
Most expensive item
It’s my Pahl Koya watch. It looks very casual, but very comfortable for me.
Signature scents
I have three different types, but I can remember only Tuscany leather by Tom Ford and Vetiver by Creed.
Role model
My dad. I always seek advice from him.
What won’t you be caught wearing?
It’s colour riot. I don’t do it; I always love to match my pair of shoes with my belt. Another thing you won’t find me wear, is sweater because Nigeria’s weather is hot.
