Popular stylist and designer Ohimai Atafo has disclosed the possibility of abandoning his fashion label, MAI.
He said this during an interview with
NET where he confessed marketing, branding and PR as his other talents,
adding that he may likely quit his fashion label if he gets a better
offer in any of these fields, especially marketing which he says he has a
strong love for.
In his words ‘…I enjoy marketing too
but I had to live it for fashion…If I get an exciting marketing offer
in a fashion brand tomorrow, I may leave my fashion brand to do that’, he said.
The ex-Guinness brand manager also
talked about the controversy of semblance in the designs of his Weddings
by Mai collection and London based Kosibah’s creations which he regards as unnecessary and in his words, a figment of people’s short sightedness.
He however mentioned the success
recorded on the line and disclosed plans for a ready-to-wear line which
will cater for young people, having the urban culture as its focal
point. ‘Right now, am trying to do a ready-to-wear line for young
people, playing with the whole urban culture and see if I can nail it
and I think it is interesting’ he said.
Mai who is presently the fashion editor of Genevieve
magazine has styled numerous celebrities including Pasuma Wonder,
Omowunmi Akinnifesi, Munachi Abii, 2face and a host of others.
