The Nigerian New Yorker who calls L.A. home shares how heritage and home inform her approach to fashion.
The main element for me when getting dressed is having a great playlist. I can’t do anything — I could barely even be on set — without a good playlist. Music really helps me determine what I’m going to wear, the flow of the day and my body. I love Tems. Her EP is everything right now. That’s what I’m listening to a lot of. Mannywellz’s album “Mirage” is also super good, and I like Joeboy.
I’m probably at a restaurant, because I love to go out to restaurants in Los Angeles, probably at Soho Malibu, Little Beach House. And I’m probably wearing an oversized suit with a pump or an oversized suit — like one of the colorful, boldpower suits — with the shoe from Prada, more than likely a creeper for comfort since it’s on the beach, and my Balenciaga sunglasses.I love color.
That was the moment where I was like, “Oh, wow,” so from then on, every job opportunity that I had, every internship, I always made an effort to make sure that I looked like I dressed up and I actually cared about what I was wearing. Because the reality of that situation was, if I wanted to come in and work in fashion, I needed to show them that I understood fashion in some capacity.
