"This collection is inspired by my
growing up muslim in Northern Nigeria with the expectations that
naturally every girl or lady lives with. I find being a 'lady' the
closest interpretation to this age-old tradition that many of us live
with.
I wasn't allowed to talk a
certain way, I always had to sit a certain way, shyness as far as
growing up is involved was a virtue that girls from 'respectable' homes
had to exude. And then traveling around the world as a young woman,
socializing and coming across different cultures; especially the Western
culture, I was at a loss on how to strike a balance between that which
catches my fancy and what I was raised to love and cherish"
