The Difference Between a Fashion Designer & a Tailor…
SO I’ve been meaning to write on this topic for a while now…. and I finally decided to do so today after having yet another chat with a top don in the Fashion Industry who felt the same way I did about the craziness that goes on around here.
The first time I was asked this question was on some TV interview last year and of course I answered the question without batting an eyelid. ? But since then, I have asked both new and practising designers the difference between the two terms and it turned out that whilst everyone, more often than not, knew who a designer was, none of them actually got the definition of a tailor.
Debunking the Various Myths About Fashion Design & the Industry
Yes! Another post of mine that is long overdue. I just felt it was high time someone addressed the various fallacies people have about fashion, fashion designers and the industry as a whole because anytime I have a conversation with an aspiring designer or even the general public, I am amazed at how clueless many of them are about what fashion is really about.
My Feature Article on enterprise54.com 😀

And it all happened because I responded to a post on a Facebook group I belong to. Really happy I responded to Aunty Bisi who called me out on the BR Group to tell my story… which I did!

How Do I Start My Fashion Business?
Ok! So here is my BN post! I have actually had this question thrown at me so many times, I knew writing about it was only a matter of time. Seeing I managed not to lift a finger over the holiday, here is the article which was actually posted on Bella Naija on Thursday. I made minimal changes to it since I realised it was edited and some portions of my thought process (re: punctuations and brackets) were lost in the editing AND I also added more pictures…
Money Matters - Commission vs Salary... Which is the Better Option for Your Tailors?!
Great! So what am I chatting about today???
MONEY MATTERS!!!!! The major problem EVERYONE has!!! But I’ll limit what I have to say to the major question most designers who run production units ask at every event, every seminar and pretty much at every opportunity:
“Should I pay my workers per piece or should I put them on a salary?”
THAT people is the million-dollar question and here is my take on it.
