Guardian life recently caught up with fashion entrepreneur, Mocheddah as she lands on the cover of their latest issue. Serving a different skin complexion on this issue, the ex singer who was formerly referred to as a tomboy is now grown up and focusing on more than just her music as she talks about her departure from the music industry and her future plans for her brand with the magazine. See some excerpt from the interview below;
Tell us how you got into fashion?
I always liked fashion and styled all my videos. Back then I didn’t have the luxury of hiring makeup artists and stylists, what I would do is go to Yaba market and boutiques, I would style myself. I also had sisters, luckily I could steal all their clothes. I feel like, with fashion, when you’re out of resources is when you are most creative.
The major challenge establishing herself in the fashion industry?
I have a fan base, which has made it easier. I had customers before I started and the only challenge I have is meeting orders, but I do not bite more than I can chew. I also have a factory and tailors that work for me. I can say one of the issues I have is the work ethic in Nigeria, which is really bad. The Nigerian youths are not ready to work, they do not know what it takes to get to the top so keeping staff is an issue because they keep coming and going.
About her engagement and how the wedding plan is going?I am excited and I have known him for a long time. He is my first boyfriend and now my fiancé! When I am upset, I just look at my ring and I’m like yeah, I am good! This is the happiest time of my life and I cannot wait to see what the future holds.
