I think the love for fashion got me into this. My passion too and I have this mentality that I wanted to be spotted from a far and it worked for me. I did my first degree in Geology but later in life, I considered going into the fashion designing business.
It all started in Ghana where I studied fashion designing and did my internship in Nigeria. I started fashion officially around 2011 and have been in the industry for fifteen years now, have my own fashion house with a good team back home and a mini-factory in Nigeria. God’s willing I have been able to create a balance by juggling motherhood with fashion business over the years amidst little challenges.
I think fashion is what you feel inside and how you intend to communicate it. More like how you want to appear, your mood, styles and more importantly your styles. My immediate environment of course I would say.
For instance, I am not an abroad fashion freak. I am that traditional African girl that is why I work with a lot of heritage fabrics and stuff because I don’t know much about abroad. But if you ask me, Africans are really doing much and going places.
For Africa, I like Christie Brown from Ghana, the Lady maker because I see a lot of contemporary African designs that I do in her work. Yes And that to some extent differentiate Miimanu from other fashion brands. I try telling stories with my style using my family, my clients and all that.
So, I have carved a niche for myself and that inspires me a lot. Like what I a.
