So our fashion forms, fashion forms can be used on television as a narrative. They can be placed on social media. We can play fashioned forms at your school as a designer and we use its called the narrative of the artist or the designer themselves. What inspired them to create the range or the actual brand from way it started to weird, is at that moment and talk the landscape of fashioned forms in africa. And in south africa, its not much, you know, at this point we are educating a lot about fresh informed people dont know what a fresh from is.

Yeah, we want to use as many mediums as possible to push fresh and forward to the world as africa. And as south africa sold, the fashioned phone festival happens once a year and the magazine comes out once a month. So we are using the publication to kind of keep the momentum going and to celebrate artist looking at how different and diverse we are as a continent. I think the so many stories that are coming out slowly cuz its still challenging. Obviously what we have experienced in south africa is not necessarily what nigeria has experience. So its very important that we expose what african designers are doing at the moment in time, you know, 10 years from now, well be looking back and saying while this is ruby were, and this is where we are. So i quoted history documents, were, were documenting history for the archive. I love it.

Its hands on these incredible pieces opened in 2003. This unique outdoor mission has slowly been built as to what we see today. I put up with anthem to find out whats not and so on. I have to ask you the obvious what made you create this astonishing space. Well, this has been my dream all live long to create this space like this and to make it in a permanent way. But maybe you see, god willing to remain your way. But when did you love for this article . I saw a book about michelangelo when there was a kid because i thought i was going to become a massage pilot. As all kids do, i guess. But when i saw michelangelo sculptures in a book, i thought this is what im going to do. The rest of my life up to, to that my whole life and try and be as or what, and i didnt succeed in doing that, but i succeeded in being me, which is better, which is better. And i studied a lot. I thought to myself, my dad was where he couldnt base was universe. So i went to university, i sneaked in the back door and i just went into the library. And i took out the books that i needed and i was in the library and i didnt take them out. I just took them off the shelf and back. Im all life ive been dreaming about doing this and being bragging load, please give me the money to be able to do it because its an expensive hobby to build a place like this. And we did, and the park that you see down there. Every single team i was planning to do so i was out from the nation of the god and, and the landscaping. I would be able to do that. And without the help from above, me, known as a storyteller. How do you know some of the most beautiful things on earth, of problems and words . I read poetry and i write poetry and i tell story and i think thats my work also has to tell stories. So people asked me, what is the thing mean . And i told him that i was thinking about this and, and i came up with the idea of making the sculpture. Many of my stories are related to the work that i use. So i just loved doing that, ah, visual, find out theres usually a phone approach. But because of the magnitude of this space youve made it more collaborative. What are some of the pros and cons of them . Well, a lot of a lot of those like working with other people around them. Im not like that. I just absolutely love people. So the more people that can help me, the better ive got whole team of guys that have been with me for more than 20 years. So what i do is i make the original always the original, and then we make moles, and then we do cause things from the molds. And the thing is, once youve made them all, youve spent a lot of money because its not a cheap material. So once youve got the mode, you can cross over and over in the same mode. So i caused 24 and in, in the fiber, last file being wrong. And that gives all the people busy african proverb.

I been a start catching up. Let it flow how nigerian design its one day or lab be has be that new life into the material used to design his products all the way from shoes to hand bags. The meaning of ash ok, muz cloth from a country or club from them. But for me, its more than just that fabric of people. Its something that i was own, given me a lot of inspiration in or something that has given me a lot of life in terms of how its made. The history behind its the people you know how it connects, different parts of the your a culture. Nigeria is known for its textiles, rich with cultural diversity, with over 500. 00 ethnic groups and cloth that are associated with that group. Ashok. It is a type of fabric that is hand woven and has a rich cultural and Traditional Association for the euro by train of a jury who originated from the southwest of the country in traditional times this fabric which was formerly used as engagements, weddings, and funerals, has become a part of one fashion. I mean, these are some of the fabrics theyll work with. This is, this is taken from the ax shall go home sooner. So if you notice the longer you in the national, lose the single for fire funder tuned it will. Abby has made this fabric into something fashionable in contemporary fashion spaced, making a shockey fashionable everywhere you turn a graphic design. And i was my 1st thinking of what i trained as was photography, which i studied in the new k. But when i came back home, i worked in advertising for a while. Always wanted to work in the greatest creation of, but i felt like i wanted to impact more, but i wasnt sure what he was going to be. I had no clue in front of our fashion. Ive never designed anything in the classroom, but i think as the masses to design, you can apply yourself in various ways. And that was what i did. This is a few, mostly clothes. And yes, we combined with, in some cases, depending on the kind of design that we are looking for, were trying to go for. So yeah, this was combined with leather. We get our live out here locally. So, so from on mission markets, for us, its all about pamphlets and style, its very fluttering. When people copier, the only kids jojo, too, that keeps you going in because you know, that time will create the next sunday will come on puppies. So you have kids been busy recently i was just checking on instagram and someone at the copy, one of my favorite things. And then i said to the guy constitute and brand wearing a copy of control. You have to be true to yourself and create things from your you have to create your own design from your heart. Thats what makes it to you. If you are true to your brand new tricks, youre always find this fresh on the front where this places you know, whenever you create anything, becomes a masterpiece. And again, iran come in to cook with that. So i think thats what i was kept in. Also knowing that visit history to what im doing, i didnt just pick it up from an ard to such an a how it works up sitting down with possible and whats not possible. So jobs has helped overtime, and that is informed how i designed this talented designer was not going to let circumstances and his love for fashion, but merely decided to adapt. And this, designing and selling the latest must happen. I took the ethnic back. Yes. All for the okay, so not the pattern for the for the so the, this is the full but then then you have the one for the lead on top of it. All right, so this one out. I can tell our stories using the fabric. We do a lot of experimentation with our fabric. We also have to see what do we combine this fabric with because he asked for some, you have to line them for some you dont necessarily have to line, and maybe we are combining the most stitching them directly on the letter. So again, it depends on the type of bodies bug is not a structured because its a rocks arc. You want to be able to take a lot. Its very nice for traveling. This is a bridge case. Theyre not, theyre not the same things it do because of the shape of the bug and also the functionality of the bug. What do you want is back to do . I wanted to do more with our cultural on the 2nd breaks our cultural if the difference can present, became more underwoods mood for why come through do the same, what constitutes what will have, how can we bring it to the cultural . How can we make it up into the jens need to millennial, you know, in different ways us as opposed to how people believe what the rise of innovative and creative runs in nigeria design as such as twin day a, using the active tools to preserve an aspect of their culture and to celebrate pop up an african nodded.
