Talking with The Sun Newspapers recently, the ace designer acknowledged that, “This is not his first time staging an exhibition . I had one when I celebrated five years, 15 years and 20 years consecutively.
“I feel it is very important to inspire others especially the younger generation, and for them to see how your creativity can lead to a successful profession and life. In Africa.”
He said his label tended to focus more on careers such as lawyers, doctors, engineers amongst others.
According to him, the modern world has shown how people in the creative industry such as music, food, interior design etc have established companies worldwide. The idea of the exhibition is to identify, stimulate and encourage creativity in people regardless of fashion.
