On her part, Veekee James started learning how to make clothes when she was still a child from her mother, Esther James, who was also into fashion designing.

She was actually inspired by her mother to start her own fashion brand “Veekee James” in 2019. With time, she founded “Veekee James Man”, a fashion brand for men’s wear, and “Shoprikan” for women. Veekee James revolutionizes bespoke couture with her exquisite gowns known for their impeccable craftsmanship and red-carpet appeal.

CNN’s Larry Madowo puts the two Nigerian designers redefining global fashion on the spot on the weekly feature programme.

The show will be on air this Saturday at 8.30 a.m. on DSTV Channel 401, while a repeat will be shown on Saturday at noon. On Sunday, there will be two repeats at 4.30 a.m., and at 7.00 p.m.
