She is one of the best and most talented designers in the country today. But she is not loud about it, leaving her designs to speak for her. We must also add that her designs stand out. Citypeople Publisher, Seye kehinde recently got this ever beautiful lady behind the label to reveal the secrets behind her success story. Below are excerpts of the interview.
Tell us about your Fashion brand. How old is it? How did you
get into Fashion business?
Biola Brentwood fashion label was officially launched in
March 2015. So we are 6 years this year.The vision however was inspired in
early 90's and it has evolved over the years.
How did you coin your brand name, Brentwood?
The label is a combination of my first and business
registration name.
What are the services you render in terms of designs? Who
are your clientele? Who do you cater to?
Biola Brentwood is an upscale fashion label, designing
Graceful and Grand apparel for women around the globe. More specifically those
with interests in African designs we do personalized collections and ready to
wear.
You seem to specialise on African Fabrics. Why?
Our vision is to bring African, specifically Nigerian,
fashion to the global market. We use fabrics like Ankara, Adire, Aso-oke etc
for our designs, because of their richness and vibrancy. Moreover, it is my
heritage and I aim to promote and showcase the beauty of the continent's
fashion to the world.
Years ago, in an embassy outside Nigeria, I was called over
by a woman who expressed great interest in my designs. She expertly identified
my nationality without a word from me and I was both honored and inspired by
that event.
Are you into Fashion styling? Or Fashion wardrobe styling???
As a graduate of Fashion Design from College LaSalle,
Montreal and Image Consulting from George Brown College, Toronto My knowledge
of ward robing and fashion styling is incorporated into our collections. With
every design we adapt to our client's body type, personality and lifestyle.
I will like to add that we use other fabrics like lace and novelty
as well not limited to Ankara only, in terms of Fabrics.
