fashion design
As an artist, I create fashion as sacred adornment. In line with the traditional Igbo practice of creativity and meaning making, I engage with fabric and textile as a medium of storytelling self expression and identity creation. I create slow fashion collections of ready-to-wear garments and accessories, custom garments for individual clients, and costumes for plays and stage productions.
