Work And Work

Funmi Iyanda  Emmy Collins

 

Funmi: when was ur birthday, you don't mind my asking? Emmy Collins - is he Nigerian?

I mean, Yemi Kosibah is Nigerian, he's based in the United Kingdom, and he is quite popular.

Why not Emmy Collins, as well. I thought Nigerians have so much exposure in the fashion world, that is, they know so much and are in tune with most of the world's known designers - if you know what i mean.

How come Emmy Collins work is not been recognised? What's his persona like, when he is in Nigeria? Is he snobbish, warm, accommodating, rude, obnoxious, humble, know it all, class conscious, nice, calm, affable, amiable? These are just a list i can think of. What's he like?

Well, if you like and can vouch for his work; i guess he is fine.

Maybe, Nigerians are still trying to figure out his work, and with these African inspired music being the rave of the moment in the Nigerian music circles, it might be the reason, why.

As he has Bono or Phil Collins as one of his clients. They happen to be rock stars.

Well... good luck to Emmy Collins in all endeavours.

"@chineze osayi, Emmy's name is Emeka and he is Nigerian.



I find him funny, down to earth and a little mad in a creative way.



He can be a bit much to take in initially as he is all tight dandy suits and jaunty hats but once you get beyond the drama he is really a cool Nigerian guy. 



l like his work, and l think his suits, shirts and tailored trousers would look great on D' banj, Psquare and Ebuka.



To be African or Nigerian is not to necessarily to wear ankara and dreadlocks, people should not act Nigerian, they should just be Nigerian.



Loads of Nigerian designers make clothes that will sell anywhere. Cue Deola Sagoe et al."
