Excerpts:
How
is your business fairing considering where you started and your aspiration for
good designs?
I unveiled my fashion brand on the 15th
of October, 2015. I love fashion and always have passion for it. Fashion to me
is life. Making my customers happy with typical creative art is what makes it
more interesting to me. It was not easy when I started because I was young and
ready to face the market system despite the inflation and deflation in the
prices of goods and services. Notwithstanding, like I said, fashion to me is
life. The glamour it depicts alone is breath-taking.
How
long have you been into the fashion industry?
I have been into the fashion industry
for over four years.
What
are the challenges regarding your business?
We all have challenges but how we handle
these challenges is what defines us as entrepreneurs. My major challenge is
inflation of goods. Most times, it makes production of clothing difficult for a
target market.
Where
do you hope to be in the next 5 years?
I hope to be where God wants me to be. I
want to be seen as a global brand where Africa is just a stepping stone.
What
is unique about your brand?
Our uniqueness is making you feel
confident in what you wear. We tell a story about you through your fashion
lifestyle. That is what makes our brand unique always to our esteemed Lovers of
Weckx Design Intl
How
can people reach out to you for patronage?
You can call or whatsapp us via
07033336116 or check out WECKX design Intl on Instagram and Facebook.
What
message do you have for your customers?
The message I have for my customers is
that they should expect magic from us... It is a new decade and era and my
agenda is to transform fashion into a story line where what you wear defines
your confidence and tells who you are on the inside.
How
do you relax?
I relax by swimming.
What
is your favorite meal and colour(s)?
My favourite colour is black and my
favourite meal is spaghetti and chicken sauce.
What
is the one thing you cannot do without to survive this life?
Love! Love for my family and loved
ones. I cannot do without that.
Fortunately, my Love for fashion has won me over 69 awards.
What
can you say about the Corona Virus ravaging the whole world and how has it
affected your business?
We thank God for life first. COVID-19
has done terrible harm but we still keep on going strong. Businesses have been affected alot because
everyone is just trying to survive.
How
do you feel being the Topflyers Magazine International’s Entrepreneur of the
