I have Passion for Fashion— Folorunsho Alakija


In November 2012, Folorunsho Alakija made Forbes list of Africa’s 40 richest.
With a net worth of $600m, Folorunsho Alakija was announced Nigeria’s richest woman. If you think this would make her talk about money or how she made hers in this interview with Punch, you are wrong.
The business mogul is however quick to define wealth in her own words: “Wealth is beyond money and affluence. It can be classified as a large amount of something, ranging from experience to talent. It is a word that quantifies and qualifies anything. For instance, you could say someone has a wealth of interesting qualities. Many people have said the same to me because there are so many parts to who I am, who I have become and who God has created me to be. I am a businesswoman, a fashion designer and milliner by profession.

Genevieve, Susan Peters and Tiwa Savage + Who Rocks Rocked the Red Carpets?

Fashion is the elegance of ones state of mind... a mirror of the time in which we live, a translation of the future or what we wish the World to see us AS, and should never be static. 

What's important in a dress is the woman who is wearing it and how it looks on her.
