Like actually my house in Nigeria is bigger than my house in America.
Like we have maids and drivers and we have like waterfalls and museums and everything you have here.
We have there too.
And I think that, you know, through my career, you know, it became such a drive for my storytelling was being able to incorporate just like African culture and African legacy and heritage into the conversation.
You know, whether I'm styling Justin Bieber or Travis Scott, like you're going to see a touch of culture somewhere.
So when it comes to 1116, I...
I'm building and creating a brand that encompasses all these things, right?
We're collaborating with the most amazing artisans and craftsmen all over the continent of Africa to, you know, from beading in Kenya to cottons and fabrics from Morocco to just textiles from all over Nigeria and
dyeing in the the kano dye pits and making bronzes in benin and you know getting beads from south africa like these are all the elements that are you know telling the story for 1116. so when people you know see this brand when it's launched like when they buy a piece of our garment they're buying a piece of culture a piece of history you know they're buying the story that
hasn't really been told on this kind of forefront before.
You know, I want to, you know, as a stylist for 10 plus years, you know, I've gone and shopped and worked with every brand under the sun.
And one, you know, one thing that I did not see enough was people like us, you know, I'd not see enough African brands operating on a larger scale, you know, being in stores like Bergdorf and
neiman marcus and sax like you're not seeing made in africa on the shelves right like they're not they're not they're not qualifying made in africa clothing as luxury at these places and this is what is inspiring and driving 1116 because we're changing the narrative and we're opening those doors and you know it's
There's so many incredible African designers and artists and creators that I want to be able to use our platform to shine light onto.
For the creator...
that's trying to get into fashion or design into the style space, I would say that your strongest weapon is your perspective, your personal perspective, right?
Like it's so easy to be influenced and inspired by the magazines and advertisements and the runway shows and this and that, but
what's going to set you apart and what's going to get you hired and booked is going to be your point of view and your personal perspective.
And this comes from digging within.
