How did you begin designing your VainBlackBoy Collection.Were there specific inspirations or ideas in mind?
Fast forward to 2018 i had been blogging now for about 3years and i have a number of following and and a good audience.

And I definitely have a lot of ideas in mind of which I’m yet to unveil so many of them .
How did the VainBlackBoy become your signature piece?
This might be a little bit funny , but yeah I have this friend I work with, also in the fashion industry , she’s always complaining about how I love to feel myself way too much and how vain I am.
I used to take it to heart until everyone other person started saying the same thing and I figured oh this is me and I have to embrace this , so I was in the bathroom and I’m like I’m going to change my instagram handle to VainBlackBoy and walaaaaa it came to being and I love it .
