......I have always stuck out from the crowd and it has made me quite Fashion different. A few years ago; I made a bold statement by ditching my profession as an ICT consultant when I was clearly thriving to focus on a career in Male Model Scouting. Man; did my parents think me crazy! Everyone said; he has completely lost it- it is does late nights of writing codes- they have taken the best of him. Maybe; they were right- but something inside of me gave me great HOPE.
....So I did what every dreamer does. I packed up my suitcase and took the high road towards attaining success. The only problem I had was that I was dead broke and without money I won't get much achieved. What do I do now; I asked myself. I will not go back home; Daddy will laugh at me- He would say out loudly through his cigar smoke rings- "Male Models".....Crazy you- you thought you could forge a career with male models?
.....I will not give up. So I made a plan- and prepared myself for the worst. And boy; did I find the worst of them. Lots of guys all over Africa, some I met online and so many I discovered on the streets in hidden alleys in war zones and beautiful boutiques across Motherland. I made a vow- to remain Fashion Different till I meet success.
....Fast forward fifteen years later. I am still broke; but I have grown stronger in deciding what I want quickly. I have also become a lot along the way. I have become a self taught Fashion Photographer, A Blogger, A Magazine Editor & Contributor, A Male Models Scout, A Men's Fashion Week show creator/organizer, A Menswear & Accessory Designer, A Business Developer, A Social Media Consultant and A Male Model Agency Creative Director- A lot of hats that have made me skillfully talented and sought after by many- I know I am becoming an Icon because I made a conscious decision to follow my dreams. I became Fashion Different because now I am relevant in a world that is presently booming with thriving Menswear designers and a lot of Men's Fashion Weeks.
....The next thing I decided in a flash to do; was this. I made a quick move to a different place in other to make myself more relevant in what I find passionate. Looking for a creative job as a visual merchandiser would be ideal for someone with my skills. Not to look so main stream- I took the high road towards attaining my main goals. I like it- and I feel it. It is so rewarding to be fashion different. I am ICONIC!
