As we go about our everyday lives, we meet different people from different spheres of life, and when you're in the fashion world, you'd get to meet a lot more people if you've got the right connection.
In my short time being a tailor, I've met more people than I would have if I was doing something else- there are people who love clothes, see what I do and choose me to be the one who helps to keep their skin nicely covered!
Ok, so I met Nacha...
She's a sister to one of my customers and we met when I had to make them dresses for their sister's wedding. We got talking and I found out she's a fashion photographer and she came up with the idea of we doing something together... she says "Foluso, I'd like to do a photoshoot, come along with a good piece and I'd be inviting my other friends in the industry, these are people who live around as well.''
I decided to go with this colour-block dress I made a while ago since I didn't know the particular model coming and thought it shouldn't pose a fitting problem. So we all came together- the photographer, models, bag-maker and me, the dress-maker, representing our 'hood Festac town and this is what we came up with... enjoy!
