An
overview of the Nigerian Fashion industry
overview of the Nigerian Fashion industry
I
think the Nigerian Fashion industry is one of the most visible in Africa. There
is a lot of talent here and over the past decade has seen tremendous growth. There
is still a need for more investment to help breed the talent, but it is still
on a rise for sure.

What inspired being a blogger?
(Not
Just a Blogger) – Blog section was to document my outfits. The website was
created because I was a fashion freelancer and it was a great way for people to
see what I was about

Earlier challenges / how you
overcame them
overcame them
I
haven’t really faced challenges with denolagrey.com. I think I face similar
challenges every 20-something faces. There is urgency to have everything all
figured out and set in stone, but I chose to keep my head down and do what
comes naturally to me. So far that has worked in my favor

Your little worry about the blogosphere
Any
one that documents their life online has a fear that some of it could be taken
out of context and used to paint a whole picture of what people think you are.
On the other hand my main concern is how to make it a viable business.

Favorite lesson blogging has thought

Don’t
do it for the views. DO it because it’s organic and seamless and it’s exactly
what you feel strongly about putting out there.

General Interest / favorite wardrobe piece
I’m
really interested in Men’s fashion, the different aspects of it. It has
numerous genres kind of like music. Some of it is street or urban some of it is
preppy; some of it is extremely preppy. I love that you can intermix and create
something unique to your personality. Favorite wardrobe piece

Would
probably be a tie or a bowtie. It really ties an outfit together (pun intended)

Fun facts about you
Fun facts about you
I’ve
never seen the Godfather. I love watching comedies. I’m terribly obsessed with Maryland
cookies (the coconut ones). I never use the same fragrance twice. My idea of a
good time is a night out at a bar (not club) with friends, beer and chicken
wings.

Advice to those trying to take a cue from you-
It
is very imperative that you remain true to yourself. Especially in this digital
age where we easily have access to other people’s lives, we aim to be just like
other people. Why be like others? They are already taken. The moment you are
yourself 24/7 amazing things start to happen.

'Remain true to yourself' so real! It's easy to get carried away by the industry and the blogosphere and begin to change before you even know it.
