Hello everyone, welcome to Episode 8 of the Africa Emerging Podcast.
My guest on this Episode of the show is Yemi Osunkoya. He is the Director and Designer of Kosibah Couture www.kosibah.com
In this episode of the show we talked about his natural passion for drawing, and how he was inspired by designers in the 50's from a very young age and the huge support from his Parents and family to follow his passion.
We talked about reason why he decided to choose this niche area in the Fashion industry making bespoke, luxury made to measure Kosibah Couture.
We talked about the power of collaboration with the right network.
In his 28 years of been in business one key lesson Yemi shared is the need to ‘Stay in your own lane’ don’t feel obliged to keep up with the 'jones'.
He gave snippets into some celebrities he has dressed in the past, though for Yemi, his focus is making each client feel special and memorable whether a celebrity or not.
We also talked opportunity of sharing his knowledge by taking on interns. He also gave advice for up-coming in the Fashion industry. The conversation was such an interesting one, Yemi displaying a true passion for what he does. I hope you enjoy it too.
